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 size are these earrings? A: This pair is the 11 mm version of Tiffany’s Open Heart studs. Our measurements for this item are approximately 10 mm high × 11 mm wide × 2 mm deep; please refer to the Measurements on this page for full details.
Q: Who designed the Open Heart and what does it represent? A: The Open Heart is a signature design by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. Its simple, open form is intended to celebrate the spirit of love and timeless minimalism.
Q: What metal are they made from and what stamps should I expect? A: They are crafted in sterling silver (.925). Typical stamps on authentic examples include Tiffany & Co., Elsa Peretti and 925, and many pieces also bear Spain. Stamp style and placement can vary slightly by production era.
Q: Where were these earrings made? A: Tiffany identifies the country of origin for the 11 mm Open Heart studs as Spain. Country of origin may also appear in the hallmarks on the piece.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Sterling silver (.925) is generally well tolerated, but sensitivities vary from person to person. If you have known metal allergies, consider using protective earring sleeves or consulting a jeweller before extended wear.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I care for these? A: Yes—sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time, especially with exposure to humidity, salt air and household chemicals. Wear them regularly, store them dry in a soft pouch, avoid bleach and chlorine, and clean with a silver polish cloth or a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Q: What type of closure do they use and can backs be replaced? A: They feature a standard post suitable for butterfly backs. If you need replacements, most jewellers can provide sterling silver butterfly backs compatible with standard posts.
Q: Is this design still part of the current Tiffany collection? A: Yes, the 11 mm Open Heart stud earrings remain an active style within Tiffany’s Elsa Peretti collection, offered in sterling silver and other precious metals depending on region and availability.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this listing, it shows no additional items included such as a box or pouch.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Tiffany jewellery? A: Each piece is inspected by our in-house experts using a multi-point process that reviews metal composition, hallmarking, construction quality and design proportions consistent with Tiffany and Elsa Peretti pieces. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
