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 necklace length and where will it sit on the neck? A: This piece measures approximately 41 cm (about 16 inches), which typically sits at the collarbone on most wearers. It is a classic short length for everyday wear and for layering with longer chains.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: Diamonds by the Yard chains are usually fixed length. This necklace is listed at approximately 41 cm and closes with a spring ring clasp. If you need a different fit, a trusted jeweller can add an extra jump ring to shorten slightly, but we do not modify vintage pieces.
Q: How big is the diamond in a single Diamonds by the Yard necklace? A: Single-stone Diamonds by the Yard necklaces in silver commonly feature petite round brilliant diamonds, often around 0.03–0.06 carat, bezel-set for a delicate sparkle. The exact carat weight of this vintage piece is not specified and is typically not stamped on the pendant.
Q: Does it come with a diamond certificate? A: Tiffany issues individual diamond certificates for stones approximately 0.18 carat and above. As single-stone silver versions usually feature smaller diamonds, they generally do not include a Tiffany diamond certificate. This item is listed with no accessories.
Q: Are the diamonds natural? A: Tiffany’s Diamonds by the Yard designs use responsibly sourced natural diamonds. The collection was created for effortless, everyday wear with fine chains and bezel-set stones.
Q: How secure and practical is the bezel setting for daily wear? A: The bezel setting fully surrounds the diamond’s girdle, offering good protection for everyday use and a smooth, snag-resistant profile. Some natural rotation of the pendant during wear is normal, but the piece is designed to lie flat and catch the light.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard necklace? A: Authentic pieces typically carry clear, precise stamps such as Tiffany & Co., 925 for sterling silver, and the designer signature Peretti, often on the small tag near the clasp. Stamps should be clean and evenly struck, and overall craftsmanship should feel crisp and refined. All items at A Retro Tale are professionally authenticated before listing.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I care for it? A: Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time. Avoid contact with bleach, chlorine, cosmetics and strong cleaners; remove before swimming, showering or gym sessions. Clean gently with a soft cloth and a dedicated silver polish, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Store in a soft pouch when not in use.
Q: Can I layer this necklace with other pieces? A: Yes. The approx. 41 cm length and slim chain make it ideal for layering with longer pendants or chains for a balanced, contemporary look while keeping the diamond as a subtle highlight.
