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: This piece is crafted in solid sterling silver (925). Tiffany pioneered the .925 sterling silver standard and uses sterling silver across its Return to Tiffany designs.
Q: What are the measurements and wearing length of this necklace? A: The chain measures approximately 41 cm and sits as a short necklace. The heart lock pendant is about 2.3 × 1.5 × 0.5 cm. Please allow minor variation due to manual measurement.
Q: Does the heart lock open and close? A: On this specific piece, the heart-shaped lock is a fixed pendant for decoration; the necklace fastens with a lobster clasp. It is not intended to function as a working lock or clasp.
Q: Will the silver tarnish, and how should I care for it? A: Sterling silver can naturally tarnish, especially with exposure to salt air and chemicals. Wear it regularly, clean with a quality silver polish or Tiffany silver cleaner and a soft cloth, rinse in warm water, dry thoroughly, and store in a protective pouch when not in use.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver before swimming or showering. Chlorine, bleach and some soaps can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish. If it gets wet, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Q: Can Tiffany personalise or engrave the heart lock? A: Many Tiffany designs can be engraved or monogrammed depending on the surface and style. Availability and pricing vary by item; a Tiffany boutique can advise and process engraving for eligible pieces.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: The necklace is designed to be worn at approximately 41 cm. You may gain slight adjustment by clasping to a different link. For additional length or precise adjustments, consider a chain extender or inquire about fit alterations with Tiffany’s care and repair services.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on authentic Return to Tiffany silver pieces? A: Typical markings include the maker’s mark “Tiffany & Co.” and a silver fineness stamp such as “925” or “AG925.” Engraving quality should be crisp, evenly aligned and neatly finished. As a trusted retailer, A Retro Tale thoroughly authenticates every item we sell.
Q: What services does Tiffany offer for ongoing care? A: Tiffany boutiques provide professional cleaning and polishing and can advise on repairs and fit alterations. On‑site cleanings for sterling silver are generally available for a fee, subject to store availability.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This necklace comes with a Tiffany box as listed. Any other accessories are only included if stated in the Accessories section.
