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 wrist size will this bracelet fit? A: This vintage Tiffany & Co. sterling silver ball bracelet fits wrists up to 16 cm. It fastens with a lobster clasp and is not elastic. If your wrist is close to 16 cm and you prefer a looser drape, consider a longer length on similar styles; extenders are not included with this item.
Q: Are the beads solid or hollow? A: Many Tiffany bead bracelets are crafted with hollow sterling silver beads strung over an inner chain to keep the piece light yet substantial on the wrist. Construction can vary by production era; please review our photos and contact us if you’d like the exact weight for this piece.
Q: How should I clean and store the sterling silver? A: Wipe regularly with a silver polishing cloth or use a dedicated sterling silver cleaner, then rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly. Store the bracelet in a dry, closed pouch or jewellery box, ideally with anti‑tarnish material, and avoid contact with rubber bands, bleach or other harsh chemicals.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: Tiffany advises removing jewellery before showering, swimming, hot tubs, applying lotions or perfumes, doing household chores or exercising. This helps minimise tarnish and prevents unnecessary surface wear.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how can I reduce it? A: Yes. Sterling silver naturally reacts with air and certain chemicals, causing tarnish. Wearing your bracelet often, cleaning it periodically and storing it dry in anti‑tarnish packaging will help slow the process. Avoid chlorine and bleach, which accelerate tarnishing.
Q: Can Tiffany resize or alter bead bracelets? A: Tiffany & Co. offers alterations and resizing for select styles after assessment. Bead bracelets can have limited options because of their construction, so availability depends on the specific piece. As a vintage item, we do not offer resizing; you may enquire directly with Tiffany about possible services.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? A: Tiffany sterling silver meets the .925 standard (92.5% pure silver with a small proportion of other metals). Many people with sensitive skin wear sterling silver comfortably, but individual reactions vary. If you have severe metal sensitivities, consider a brief wear test and avoid contact with cosmetics and fragrances on the piece.
Q: What accessories are included with this bracelet? A: This listing comes as shown with no accessories. Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page; if a pouch or box is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bracelet? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts. Hallmark cues you can expect on Tiffany sterling include clean, precise stamps such as Tiffany & Co. and 925, consistent finishing, and high‑quality clasp construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Will daily wear scratch the beads? A: Light surface marks are normal for polished sterling silver, especially with everyday wear or stacking. Regular gentle polishing will maintain shine; remove the bracelet for activities that could cause knocks to minimise scuffs.
