Understated and timeless, these sterling silver twist knot studs add refined sparkle for any occasion. Perfect for weddings, cocktail parties or a polished office look, they bring subtle elegance without overpowering your 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: What are these earrings made of? A: They are crafted in solid 925 sterling silver by Tiffany & Co. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength. As with most Tiffany silver pieces, you can typically expect Tiffany & Co. and 925 signatures, though stamp placement can vary on vintage items.
Q: How big are they and how do they wear on the ear? A: They are approximately 1 × 0.9 × 0.9 cm, making them petite, three‑dimensional knot studs that sit neatly on the lobe for everyday wear. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What type of closure do they use, and are the backs replaceable? A: They feature a post with standard friction (butterfly) backs. If a replacement is ever needed, most jewellers can supply compatible sterling silver butterfly backs, and Tiffany offers repair services as well.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Many people with sensitive ears tolerate sterling silver well, but reactions vary by individual and alloy. If you have a known nickel allergy or highly reactive skin, choose nickel‑free components and discontinue wear if any irritation occurs.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for them? A: Yes—tarnish is natural with sterling silver. Clean with a soft silver polishing cloth, rinse in warm water, and dry thoroughly. Store completely dry in a pouch or box, and avoid exposure to moisture, perfumes, lotions, seawater and chlorine. Remove before bathing, swimming or gym sessions to minimise tarnish and wear.
Q: Do these earrings come with a box or pouch? A: The product information for this listing notes that no extras are included. If a box or pouch is pictured and listed in the product information, it will be included; otherwise, it is not.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very good pre‑owned condition: shiny with light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos for close‑ups of the finish and hallmarks.
Q: How do you authenticate Tiffany jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection by our specialists, including checks of materials, construction and signatures. Typical Tiffany silver hallmarks include “Tiffany & Co.” and “925”, with exact placement varying by production period.
Q: Can they be professionally polished? A: Yes. Light professional polishing can refresh the finish, and Tiffany & Co. offers cleaning and repair services. Routine home care with a silver polishing cloth is recommended between professional cleanings.
