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 are these earrings made of and how are they finished? A: They are crafted in sterling silver (.925) with classic butterfly push-back fittings. As with most Tiffany pieces, you can expect clear metal and maker hallmarks on the earrings, and a bright polished finish that develops a gentle patina over time with wear.
Q: Do sterling silver earrings tarnish, and how should I clean them? A: Yes—sterling silver naturally forms tarnish with exposure to air, moisture and certain chemicals. Restore shine by gently rubbing with a quality silver polish cloth or a small amount of dedicated silver cleaner on a soft cloth, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh “dip” cleaners and remove the earrings before chores, swimming or bathing to slow tarnish.
Q: Are these suitable for sensitive ears? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed mainly with other metals (commonly copper) and is generally well tolerated by most wearers. Many sterling silver alloys are nickel‑free; however, if you have a known severe nickel sensitivity, we recommend a patch test or consulting a professional before extended wear.
Q: How do they sit on the ear—are they comfortable for everyday wear? A: The knot design is a compact stud that sits close to the lobe and is lightweight for daily wear. They add a subtle, timeless accent without feeling heavy. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What type of earring posts and backs are used, and can I replace them? A: They use standard push-back (butterfly) fittings on typical stud posts. Replacement butterfly backs are widely available if ever needed. For a tighter fit, you can carefully pinch the loops of the butterfly back or use small silicone stoppers for added security.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: It’s best to remove them before bathing, swimming (especially in chlorinated pools or the sea), exercising, or using lotions, hairsprays and perfumes. Limiting exposure to water and chemicals helps maintain their shine and reduces tarnish.
Q: Are both knots identical, and is slight variation normal on vintage pairs? A: The knot is a three‑dimensional motif designed to be a complementary pair. Minor variations can occur on earlier or hand‑finished examples and are normal for vintage pieces; they do not affect wear or beauty.
Q: Is this design still offered by Tiffany today? A: Tiffany has released various knot‑inspired earrings over the years, and current availability, naming and sizing may vary by region and season. This pair is a vintage sterling silver version; consult the current collection for contemporary iterations.
Q: How can I tell they’re authentic? A: Look for crisp, evenly spaced hallmarks such as Tiffany & Co. and a metal purity mark (e.g., 925) alongside clean craftsmanship. Because hallmarks can be imitated, provenance and expert verification matter—buying from trusted specialists provides added assurance. Accessories included with this listing are exactly as stated on this page (this item is offered without additional accessories).
