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 earrings solid gold or plated?
A: They are crafted in solid 18kt yellow gold, not plated. As with Tiffany gold pieces, you can typically expect hallmarks indicating metal and maker, such as “Tiffany & Co.” and the “750” fineness mark for 18kt gold.
Q: What is the size and how do they sit on the ear?
A: Approximate dimensions are 1 cm high × 1.5 cm wide × 1.2 cm deep. They are compact ribbon-motif studs designed to sit neatly on the lobe for everyday wear.
Q: What type of closure do they use? Are the backs secure?
A: They feature a traditional push-back (friction) closure, designed for daily use. If you ever need replacement earring backs, Tiffany boutiques can assist subject to availability.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears?
A: Many people with sensitive ears tolerate high‑purity yellow gold well. 18kt yellow gold is generally a good option; however, sensitivities vary. If you have a known nickel allergy or particularly reactive skin, consider testing short wear times first or seeking advice from a healthcare professional.
Q: How should I clean and care for 18kt gold Tiffany earrings?
A: For routine care, use a non‑abrasive jewellery cleaner and a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry with a lint‑free cloth. Avoid bleach and harsh household chemicals, and remove before showering, swimming, exercising, applying lotions, or cleaning. Store in a soft pouch or the included box when not in use. Tiffany offers professional in‑store cleaning.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower or while swimming?
A: It’s best to remove gold jewellery before bathing or swimming. Chemicals in pools, hot tubs, and some shampoos/soaps can dull or damage the finish over time.
Q: Do these have Tiffany hallmarks?
A: Tiffany gold pieces are hallmarked to indicate metal quality and origin. On 18kt items, you’ll typically see “750” alongside the maker’s mark. Hallmark appearance can vary by country and era.
Q: Can Tiffany replace a lost back or a single earring?
A: Tiffany can often provide replacement earring backs and, in some cases, replace a single lost earring, subject to model availability and assessment. Contact a Tiffany boutique or Client Care for options.
Q: What accessories are included with this pair?
A: This item comes with a Tiffany box, as listed under Accessories.
