Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are these earrings made of? A: They are crafted in sterling silver (92.5% silver) by Tiffany & Co., with a polished finish and classic push-back closures.
Q: What is the size of the studs? A: Approximately 1 × 1 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions and photos for scale.
Q: What condition are they in? A: Very good vintage condition overall. The silver is shiny with surface scratches consistent with gentle wear, as seen in the images.
Q: Are these suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: Sterling silver is generally well tolerated and is 92.5% pure silver with small amounts of other metals (typically copper). However, anyone with a confirmed nickel allergy should be cautious, as sensitivities vary by individual and alloy. If you have very sensitive ears, consider testing wear time gradually or opting for medical-grade metals after healing from a new piercing.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how do I keep the shine? A: Yes, sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time. Regular gentle cleaning with a soft silver cloth, avoiding bleach and harsh chemicals, and storing pieces dry will help maintain the lustre. Professional silver cleaning and polishing are available if you prefer a deeper refresh.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: It’s best to remove Tiffany jewellery before showering, swimming (pools, hot tubs, sea) or exercising, and before applying lotions, hair products or perfume, to minimise tarnish and residue.
Q: Do these come with a box, pouch or spare earring backs? A: Everything included is listed under product information. If an item such as a box, pouch or spare backs is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: Are they hallmarked, and how do you authenticate them? A: Tiffany pieces typically feature brand and metal purity stamps (for example, “Tiffany & Co.” and “925”), though exact markings can vary by era and design. At A Retro Tale, every item is rigorously checked by our in‑house experts using multi‑point inspections of materials, construction, stamps and overall workmanship.
Q: Can I replace or upgrade the earring backs, or have the earrings professionally polished? A: Tiffany & Co. offers client care services including cleaning, polishing and assistance with replacements. A jeweller can also advise on alternative backs if you prefer a different fit or extra security.
