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: How long is the chain and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 84 cm (about 33 in), so it typically sits around the mid‑chest. You can also double it to around 42 cm (about 16.5 in) for a shorter, choker‑style look. The lobster clasp makes it easy to put on and take off.
Q: Is the bead chain adjustable or can it be shortened? A: The chain length isn’t adjustable, but a professional jeweller can shorten bead chains. Tiffany & Co. also offers fit alterations and other services for their pieces, usually for a fee; availability and pricing are determined by the boutique or service centre.
Q: Can the heart tag be engraved? A: Many Return to Tiffany heart tags can be engraved by Tiffany & Co. Engraving styles and pricing vary, and engraved items are typically non‑returnable at Tiffany. Availability depends on the specific piece and store service; please check directly with Tiffany for options and fees.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for it? A: Yes—sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. To minimise this, avoid contact with bleach, chlorine and strong chemicals, wipe with a soft cloth after wear, and store in a dry, soft pouch. To clean, use a dedicated silver polish or Tiffany silver cleaner, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.
Q: Is it okay to shower or swim while wearing this necklace? A: It’s best to remove sterling‑silver jewellery before showering, swimming or exercising. Regular exposure to water, chlorine, soaps and cosmetics can accelerate tarnishing and dull the finish.
Q: How often should I have silver professionally polished? A: Sparingly. Polishing removes a small amount of metal each time, so it should be done only occasionally. Tiffany & Co. offers professional cleaning and polishing services for a fee; a quick at‑home clean with a silver cloth is usually sufficient between services.
Q: What does the “Return to Tiffany” motif mean? A: The design is inspired by an archival Tiffany key ring from the 1960s bearing the phrase “Please return to Tiffany & Co.” The heart‑tag motif has since become an enduring house icon across necklaces, bracelets and other designs.
Q: Can I wear this long chain doubled or wrapped? A: Yes. At 84 cm, doubling gives an approximate 42 cm drop that suits many necklines. Whether it can be wrapped as a bracelet depends on wrist size and personal fit preference.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this listing indicates that no extras are included. If you would like gift packaging or a pouch, please contact us and we will be happy to advise on options.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is meticulously inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamping and signatures. Typical hallmarks on Tiffany sterling‑silver pieces include Tiffany & Co. and 925 marks, but we assess the whole piece—not just the stamps—and stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
