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: Are these Tiffany & Co. HardWear Medium Link Gold Earrings 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 gold or plated? A: They are crafted in solid 18‑carat yellow gold (not plated) from Tiffany’s HardWear collection. Tiffany fine jewellery typically bears metal fineness marks such as “AU 750” alongside the TIFFANY & CO. signature. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific hallmarks on this exact pair.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit on the ear? A: Our listing notes approximately 2.7 cm (height) x 1.0 cm (width) x 1.2 cm (depth). Tiffany cites a length of about 1.1 inches (≈2.8 cm) for the Medium Link size. On most wearers, they hang just below the lobe with a bold yet refined presence. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on model for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How do they fasten and are they secure? A: This pair features a post and clasp closure for pierced ears. As with all fine earrings, ensure the backs are properly seated and remove them for sport, swimming and sleeping to avoid knocks or loss. Please refer to our images for the exact closure on this piece, or contact us for confirmation.
Q: Are they comfortable for everyday wear? Will they feel heavy? A: Tiffany describes the Medium Link earrings as designed to be comfortable and easy to wear. Many owners find the Medium size offers statement impact with less weight than the Large. If you prefer, we can weigh this exact pair and share the result so you can gauge comfort for daily use.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Tiffany & Co. fine jewellery typically includes the “TIFFANY & CO.” maker’s mark and a gold purity mark such as “750” (18k). Placement can vary (on the post, back of a link, or near the junction). Our listing photos show any marks present on this pair; the country‑of‑origin label for this item is United States.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Is there any nickel? A: 18k yellow gold is generally alloyed with gold, silver and copper and is commonly nickel‑free, making it suitable for many with sensitivities (nickel is more often used in some white‑gold alloys). Individual reactions can vary—monitor comfort, keep contact points clean and dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for 18k gold HardWear earrings? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For occasional cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemical dips. Store them separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches; Tiffany boutiques may offer professional cleaning and polishing at their discretion.
Q: Can a single earring be replaced or serviced if lost or damaged? A: Tiffany & Co. may assist with service options and, in some cases, single‑earring replacements subject to availability and assessment. We don’t perform in‑house repairs or alterations, but we can recommend reputable specialists. Note that modifications may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. The listing includes the original Tiffany & Co. box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
