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 “Return to Tiffany” inscription mean on this necklace? A: The motif is inspired by Tiffany’s 1960s key ring inscribed “Please Return to Tiffany & Co.” It’s a hallmark design element, not an active registration or return service for jewellery pieces.
Q: How does the size and fit compare on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 41 cm (about 16.1 inches), a length that typically sits near the base of the neck/collarbone for many wearers. For the best idea of where it will fall on you, measure a piece of string to 41 cm and try it on at home.
Q: Is the heart lock a working padlock that opens and closes? A: On this necklace the chain fastens with a lobster clasp; the heart lock is a decorative pendant and not the functional closure. Tiffany has produced some separate lock charms that do open, and others that are non‑opening—functionality varies by model—but this piece is designed to be worn as shown and secured by the clasp.
Q: Can the length be adjusted if 41 cm is too short or long for me? A: Tiffany & Co. can lengthen or shorten most necklace styles through their care and repair service, subject to design feasibility and a service fee. A reputable jeweller can also add a discreet sterling‑silver extender if you prefer a reversible option.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on authentic sterling silver Tiffany jewellery? A: You should typically see clear, crisp “TIFFANY & CO.” branding and a metal purity mark such as “925” for sterling silver. Engraving quality, construction and clasp function are also key authenticity indicators.
Q: How should I clean and care for the sterling silver? A: Wipe with a soft polishing cloth to remove light tarnish. For a deeper clean, use a small amount of Tiffany silver cleaner on a soft cloth, then rinse in warm water and dry carefully. Avoid bleach, chlorine and harsh household chemicals. Store pieces dry in a tarnish‑resistant pouch or box and avoid humid bathrooms.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver jewellery before showering, bathing, swimming or hot tubs, and before applying lotions, hair products or fragrance. These can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish.
Q: Is engraving possible on this style? A: Tiffany offers engraving and personalisation on select pieces. Many heart tag and heart lock styles can be engraved on the reverse, subject to surface area and condition. A Tiffany boutique or client care team can confirm options for your exact piece.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for everything included. For this listing, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated under product information.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this necklace? A: Every item we sell is expert‑vetted using multi‑point checks across materials, hallmarks, construction, engraving quality and clasp/chain components. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces and can share additional photos or details on request.
