Q: Is this Tiffany & Co. Return to Tiffany Heart Earrings pair authentic?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.

Q: What are they made from? Are they solid sterling silver or plated?
A: They are crafted in sterling silver (925) from Tiffany’s Return to Tiffany collection. Sterling silver denotes 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength; these are not silver‑plated fashion pieces.

Q: What are the measurements and how will they look when worn?
A: Approx. 1.4 cm (height) × 1.2 cm (width) × 1.0 cm (depth). They read as petite heart studs with the signature “Return to Tiffany” inscription—understated for everyday wear. If you’d like the gram weight or an on‑ear photo for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.

Q: How do they fasten and are the backs secure?
A: They use a post‑back (friction/butterfly) closure for pierced ears. Ensure the backs are fully seated before wear. If you ever need replacement earring backs or a single back, Tiffany boutiques/Client Care can usually assist; we’re happy to advise.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free?
A: Sterling silver is typically 92.5% silver alloyed mainly with copper and is well tolerated by many with nickel sensitivities. However, individual reactions vary; if you have known metal allergies, monitor comfort and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.

Q: Can I wear them in the shower, swimming or to sleep?
A: We recommend removing Tiffany jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Water, chlorine, salt and cosmetics can accelerate tarnish or stress posts and backs.

Q: How should I clean and care for sterling silver?
A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soap with lukewarm water, rinse and blot dry, or a quality silver polish cloth. Keep them dry, avoid contact with perfumes/lotions/sanitiser, and store individually in a soft pouch/box away from humidity. Professional cleaning and polishing are available through Tiffany Client Care.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect?
A: Tiffany sterling silver typically bears the TIFFANY & CO. maker’s mark and a fineness mark such as 925 (sometimes seen as AG925). Hallmark appearance and placement can vary by country of origin and production year; our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this pair.

Q: Which size are these compared with Tiffany’s range?
A: Return to Tiffany heart studs have been produced in multiple sizes over the years (including Mini). Please rely on our listed measurements for this pair—approximately 1.4 × 1.2 cm—when comparing to size guides. If you need side‑by‑side size advice, message us and we’ll help.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them?
A: They are in Very Good Condition with light traces of use. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
