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 the measurements and how will it sit on me? A: The chain is approximately 42 cm (about 16.5 inches), which typically rests around the collarbone. The heart lock pendant is about 2 × 1.5 × 0.5 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact details.
Q: Is the heart lock functional? A: On this design the heart lock is a decorative pendant. The necklace fastens securely with a lobster clasp.
Q: What material is it and will it tarnish? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (.925). Like all sterling silver, it can tarnish over time, especially with moisture, cosmetics, sulphur and salt air. Regular wear and proper storage help minimise tarnish.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Use a quality silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives, and store it dry in a soft pouch or anti‑tarnish cloth. Professional cleaning and polishing services are available from Tiffany boutiques; fees may apply.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: We recommend removing sterling silver jewellery before showering, bathing, swimming or exercising, and before applying lotions, perfume or hair products, to help prevent tarnish and dullness.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: This chain does not include an extender and is intended to fasten at the end ring. A jeweller can add a small extender, or you can swap to a longer chain if you prefer a different drop.
Q: Are there hallmarks, and how do you authenticate this piece? A: Authentic Tiffany sterling silver pieces typically have precise hallmarks such as Tiffany & Co. and a 925 purity mark on the pendant and/or clasp; placement can vary by design and era. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated with multi‑point checks of materials, construction, engravings and finish.
Q: Can the heart lock be engraved? A: Many Tiffany designs are eligible for personalisation through Tiffany boutiques. Eligibility, styles and fees vary by item and location, so please check with your local boutique if you wish to add engraving to a Tiffany piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This piece is listed without additional items.
Q: What is the story behind the Return to Tiffany motif? A: Return to Tiffany jewellery is inspired by Tiffany’s late‑1960s key ring that asked finders to return lost keys to Tiffany. The heart tag quickly became an emblem of the collection and has been reinterpreted across necklaces, bracelets and charms ever since.
