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 1837 engraving signify on these earrings? A: It references the year Tiffany & Co. was founded. Pieces in the Tiffany 1837 collection are typically inscribed with 1837 alongside T&CO and the metal purity mark.
Q: What are these hoops made of, and will they tarnish? A: They are crafted in sterling silver (925). Like all sterling silver, they can naturally tarnish with exposure to air, salt, sulphur, lotions and perfumes. Regular wear, gentle cleaning and proper storage help minimise tarnish and maintain shine.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver jewellery before showering, swimming (especially in chlorinated pools or hot tubs) and exercising. Water, chlorine, perspiration and cosmetics can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: Tiffany uses 925 sterling silver. Sterling silver is primarily silver with small amounts of other metals (often copper). Many people with nickel sensitivity can wear sterling silver comfortably, but individual reactions vary. EU/UK rules also restrict nickel release in jewellery. If you have a known severe allergy, consider patch-testing or choosing alternative metals like platinum or titanium.
Q: What size are these hoops? A: This pair measures approximately 2.5 cm in outer diameter with a band width of about 0.3 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for full details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this listing, no additional items are included.
Q: What type of closure do they have and can the earring backs be replaced? A: They feature a post back with butterfly clutches. If you ever need replacements, Tiffany offers earring backs through their client care services, or a reputable jeweller can provide suitable sterling silver backs.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: Clean with a soft polishing cloth or a silver-specific cleaner, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Store them completely dry in an anti-tarnish pouch or lined box, away from humidity and rubber or sulphur-containing materials. Keeping pieces separate helps prevent scratches.
Q: Can light scratches be polished out? A: Light surface marks on sterling silver can often be reduced by professional polishing. Because polishing removes a tiny amount of metal, it should be done sparingly by a trusted jeweller to preserve the contours and hallmarks.
Q: Are these earrings authentic Tiffany & Co.? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, hallmarks and craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
