Perfect for cocktail parties, weddings, or elevating a smart daytime look, these vintage Tiffany & Co clip-on earrings in sterling silver with 18k gold details and a fluted design add timeless polish to any outfit.
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: Are these suitable for non-pierced ears? A: Yes. They feature a clip-on closure designed for non-pierced ears and can also be worn by those with pierced ears who prefer clip-ons.
Q: How do I adjust the fit to prevent pinching? A: Add small silicone or foam pads to cushion pressure on the lobe. If the clips feel too tight or too loose, a jeweller can make minor tension adjustments to the hinge or screw mechanism for a snug but comfortable hold. Start with shorter wear times and reposition the clip slightly on the lobe to find the most comfortable spot.
Q: Will clip-on earrings stay secure during the day? A: When correctly adjusted, clip-ons hold well for everyday wear. Make sure the clip engages fully, avoid snagging with hair or scarves, and consider grip pads for extra security on smoother lobes.
Q: What are the materials and what do the hallmarks mean? A: This vintage pair is sterling silver with 18k gold details. Sterling silver is commonly stamped 925 and 18k gold is often stamped 750. Tiffany & Co. pieces also carry brand maker’s marks; on vintage clip-ons, stamps are typically on the reverse or on the clip itself. Placement and style of stamps can vary by era and design.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic? A: 925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed mostly with copper and is generally well tolerated. Nickel is not typically used in quality sterling silver, but alloy mixes can vary. If you have a severe nickel sensitivity, consider using protective pads and monitor for any reaction.
Q: How should I clean and store Tiffany sterling silver? A: Wipe regularly with a soft polishing cloth. For tarnish, use a good-quality silver polish or Tiffany’s silver cleaner, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive “dip” cleaners, chlorine, and prolonged humidity. Store completely dry in a pouch or lined jewellery box to slow tarnish.
Q: Can these clip-ons be converted for pierced ears? A: Many jewellers can convert clip-ons by adding posts, though feasibility depends on the design. Conversion may leave small marks and can affect collectability, so discuss options with a professional before proceeding.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. This listing shows the earrings only; no original box or pouch is included unless specifically stated there.
Q: How big are they and how heavy do they feel? A: The height is approximately 2 cm according to our Measurements. Width and weight are not specified; if you would like exact gram weight, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: How do you authenticate Tiffany jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in-house experts using a multi-point process that examines materials, construction, hallmarks, and era-consistent details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or information on request.
