Perfect for date night, office polish or weekend brunch, this sterling silver Tiffany & Co. Return to Tiffany heart lock chain necklace lends subtle sentiment to any look. In very good vintage condition, it’s a timeless finish from day to evening.
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 is the Return to Tiffany design inspired by? A: The Return to Tiffany motif takes its cue from Tiffany’s late-1960s key ring stamped with the famous “Please Return to Tiffany & Co. New York” message. Over time, the heart tag and lock became signature elements across the collection.
Q: Does the heart lock on this necklace open? A: On this specific piece, the heart-shaped lock is a decorative pendant. The necklace secures with a lobster clasp, so the lock does not function as the closure.
Q: How long is the chain and where does it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 42 cm (about 16.5 in), which typically sits at or just below the collarbone on most wearers. Fit can vary by build; if you prefer extra length, a sterling-silver extender can be added by a jeweller.
Q: What are the pendant’s dimensions? A: The heart lock pendant is approximately 2.3 cm high, 1.5 cm wide and 1 cm deep. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: What metal is it made from and will it tarnish? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (925). Like all sterling silver, it may naturally tarnish over time, especially with exposure to air, moisture, chlorine, perfumes or lotions. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain its shine.
Q: How should I care for this sterling-silver necklace? A: Wipe with a soft silver-polishing cloth after wear, avoid contact with chemicals, remove before swimming or showering, and store dry in a pouch or box. Occasional professional cleaning or polishing can restore lustre if scratches develop.
Q: Can Tiffany & Co. service or polish this piece? A: Tiffany boutiques offer cleaning, polishing and certain repairs for Tiffany sterling-silver jewellery, typically for a fee. Availability of services may vary by store and design; please check with your local boutique.
Q: Is the chain adjustable or can I add charms? A: The original chain is not adjustable, but a jeweller can add an extender. Light sterling-silver charms can be added to the chain links; avoid heavy additions that could stress the links.
Q: What is included with this item and how do you verify authenticity? A: This listing is for the necklace only and does not include accessories. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, engravings, and craftsmanship, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
