Delivery & Returns
Q: What is the chain length and where does it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 80 cm (about 31.5 in). As a long style, it typically sits around the mid‑chest on most wearers, making it great for wearing solo or layering with shorter necklaces. The chain is a classic sterling‑silver ball chain with a secure lobster clasp.
Q: What is it made from? A: Solid sterling silver (marked 925). Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength and is known for its bright lustre and timeless look.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I care for it? A: Yes, sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time due to humidity, perspiration and everyday products. Wear it often, wipe it with a soft polishing cloth after use, and occasionally clean with a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Store it in a clean, dry, anti‑tarnish pouch or box and keep it away from chlorine, bleach and rubber.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it? A: We do not recommend it. Water, steam and chemicals (especially chlorine) can accelerate tarnish. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, workouts and when applying lotions, perfume or hair products.
Q: Can the chain be shortened or replaced? A: Tiffany & Co. offers cleaning and repair services for their pieces, and an experienced jeweller can typically shorten a ball chain if needed. As a pre‑owned item, we do not modify this piece after listing; please consult your local jeweller or a Tiffany boutique if you’d like alterations.
Q: Is the heart tag engravable? A: Many Return to Tiffany pendants can be engraved by Tiffany & Co., subject to the piece and local availability. Fees and lead times vary by boutique. A Retro Tale does not offer engraving services on pre‑owned items.
Q: What does “Return to Tiffany” refer to? A: The motif traces back to a 1969 Tiffany key ring engraved “Please Return to Tiffany & Co. New York”. It became an emblem of the house and inspired the Return to Tiffany jewellery collection, including the heart‑tag designs.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an authentic piece? A: Typical markings include “Tiffany & Co.” and a metal purity mark such as “925”. The heart tag motif usually reads “Please Return to Tiffany & Co. New York”. Placement and typography can vary by model and era; feel free to request close‑up photos of the stamps on this specific necklace.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: Accessories: no accessories. Condition: good pre‑owned condition with a bright shine and some surface scratches consistent with normal wear. All inclusions are listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: Is this piece authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks and finish. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
