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 is the size and fit of these hoops? A: They measure approximately 30 mm in outer height, 7 mm in width and 18 mm in depth. This is a medium hoop profile designed for everyday wear; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: What metal are they made from? A: Tiffany earrings are crafted in sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% other metals for strength, and is widely used in fine jewellery.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how can I keep the shine? A: Yes, like all sterling silver, they can develop tarnish over time—especially with humidity, salty air or chlorine. Clean gently with warm water and mild soap, dry thoroughly, then polish with a soft silver cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and remove before swimming or showering. Store in a dry, soft pouch to minimise tarnish.
Q: Are these suitable for sensitive ears? A: Many people with sensitive ears tolerate genuine 925 sterling silver, but reactions can vary. If you have a known nickel allergy or very reactive piercings, introduce wear gradually or opt for high‑purity gold or titanium. Discontinue wear if any irritation occurs and consult a professional if needed.
Q: Do they come with earring backs, a box or a pouch? A: These hoops have a post‑back closure. This listing includes only what is stated in the product information and shown in the photos; if a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Can I replace a lost back or a single earring later on? A: Tiffany offers services for lost earrings and earring backs; you can enquire with them directly for replacements. Quality sterling silver backs are also available from professional jewellers.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Authentic Tiffany sterling silver typically bears Tiffany & Co. branding and a 925 fineness mark. On earrings, stamps are often found on the post, the back, or inside the hoop. Where applicable, UK/Convention hallmarks include a 925 fineness mark to indicate sterling silver.
Q: Can I wear them while sleeping or during water activities? A: For longevity, remove before sleeping and avoid wearing in pools, hot tubs or the sea, as chlorine and salty air can accelerate tarnish. Wipe clean after wear to remove skin oils and cosmetics.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very good pre‑owned condition with a light trace of use; the metal surface remains shiny with light, normal scratches. Please review all photos for the most accurate view.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Tiffany jewellery? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts via multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
