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 this necklace made from? A: Solid sterling silver. Tiffany pioneered the .925 sterling silver standard that is widely used today, so the heart tag, key charm and fine link chain are crafted in genuine sterling silver rather than silver‑plated base metal.
Q: What is the chain length and how will it sit when worn? A: This pre‑owned piece has an approximately 41 cm (16 in) chain. On most necklines it sits at or just below the collarbone; if you prefer more drop, a jeweller can add a small extender or you can swap to a longer chain to suit your style.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I clean and store it? A: Yes—sterling silver naturally develops tarnish over time. To maintain the shine, clean gently with a silver jewellery cleaner or a soft polishing cloth, rinse and dry thoroughly, and store pieces completely dry in a tarnish‑resistant pouch or box, away from rubber, sulphur and humidity.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver jewellery before showering, swimming, using lotions or fragrances, or exercising. Water, sweat, chlorine and cosmetics can dull the finish and accelerate tarnish, so take the necklace off during these activities and put it back on once you’re dry.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted or replaced? A: Yes. A trusted jeweller can shorten a chain or add a small extender, and Tiffany Client Care can advise on fit alterations and chain services for a fee. Any modification should be done by a professional to preserve the piece’s integrity.
Q: Can I add personal engraving to this design? A: Tiffany offers engraving on select items. Because the heart tag already features the Return to Tiffany motif, additional personalisation is typically done on the reverse (if space allows) and is subject to in‑store assessment. Availability, placement and fees vary by location.
Q: What clasp does this necklace have and is it easy to use? A: It features a classic spring ring clasp, chosen for a secure closure and a discreet look that complements the fine chain. To open, pull back the small lever, attach to the ring, then release to close fully.
Q: Are any accessories included with this item? A: Everything included is listed on this page. This specific piece is sold without accessories (no box, pouch or papers).
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item we sell is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
