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 does the Elsa Peretti Bean motif represent? A: The Bean is a modernist symbol of beginnings and the origin of life. Its soft, organic form is designed to sit close to the skin and feel understated yet meaningful for everyday wear.
Q: What is this necklace made from? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (92.5% pure silver). Sterling silver is a precious metal that may naturally develop tarnish over time; regular gentle polishing will keep it bright.
Q: What is the chain length and how will it sit on the neck? A: This piece is listed at 42 cm (about 16.5 inches). On most necks that length sits around the collarbone for a classic, close-to-the-neck look. If you prefer a longer drop, consider a small extender or a different chain length.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain? A: On many Bean pendants, the chain passes through the pendant and is not designed to be detached. Some variations may differ, but most examples are intended to be worn as supplied.
Q: Which hallmarks should I expect on authentic Elsa Peretti Bean necklaces? A: Authentic pieces typically feature Tiffany & Co., Peretti and 925 markings, and may indicate country of origin (often Spain). Depending on production era, hallmarks can appear on the pendant and/or the chain tag.
Q: How do I clean and care for sterling silver Tiffany jewellery? A: Wipe with a soft silver polishing cloth after wear. Rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly. Store in a dry pouch to minimise tarnish. Avoid bleach, chlorine, sulphur-rich products and swimming pools; remove before showering, exercising or applying lotions and perfume.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? A: Sterling silver is usually alloyed primarily with copper and is generally well tolerated. However, sensitivities vary. If you have known metal allergies, wear for short intervals at first and discontinue if irritation occurs.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted by Tiffany? A: Tiffany & Co. offers care and repair services, including assessments for fit alterations on many jewellery styles. Availability and fees vary by piece and region; a client advisor can confirm options for your specific necklace.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the necklace is listed under the product information on this page. If an item (such as a pouch or box) is not listed, it is not included.
Q: What condition should I expect on this vintage piece? A: It is pre-owned and graded Very Good, showing only light trace of use. Hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please refer to the condition notes and photographs for a precise view.
