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: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (925), comprising a fine chain and a heart key pendant. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals for strength, giving a bright, classic Tiffany finish.
Q: What is the chain length and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures 46 cm (approximately 18 inches), which typically sits around the collarbone on most necklines—ideal for everyday wear and layering.
Q: Are the pendant and chain fixed together or can I change the chain? A: Many Tiffany pendants hang from a small bail and can be worn on different chains. On this vintage piece, the pendant is on a fine chain with a spring ring clasp; the bail opening isn’t measured in this listing. If you plan to use a different chain, please contact us and we’ll confirm compatibility for you.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I care for it? A: Yes, sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time, especially with exposure to salt air, chlorine, cosmetics or sulphur-rich materials. Wear it often, store it dry in a soft pouch, and gently polish with a quality silver cloth or cleaner when needed. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.
Q: Can I shower or swim with this necklace on? A: We recommend removing the necklace before showering, swimming (pool, hot tub, ocean) or exercising. Water, chlorine and sweat can speed up tarnish and may dull the shine.
Q: Are there hallmarks on Tiffany sterling silver pieces, and where might they be on this item? A: Authentic Tiffany sterling silver typically carries clear, crisp marks such as “Tiffany & Co.” and “925/STERLING”. On necklaces, these are commonly found on the pendant reverse and/or near the clasp. Mark style and placement can vary by era and design; please refer to our photos for this piece.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? A: Many people with sensitive skin wear sterling silver comfortably. It is primarily silver alloyed with other metals (often copper). However, sensitivities vary by individual; if you have known metal allergies, we suggest consulting a jeweller for personalised advice before prolonged wear.
Q: Can the necklace length be adjusted? A: Selected Tiffany chains can be altered by a professional for a fee, and simple extenders can sometimes be used with spring ring clasps. Any modification should be done by a trusted jeweller to preserve the piece. We can advise on options for this specific necklace on request.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this listing, no accessories are included. If you need gift-ready packaging, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: Can Tiffany service or polish a pre-owned piece? A: Yes. Tiffany boutiques offer professional cleaning, polishing and repair services for their jewellery (services and fees vary by location). A complimentary assessment in-store is typically available.
