How to Spot Fake Return to Tiffany Jewelry

I had to go through several negative transactions, before I found an authetic tiffany silver jewelry. Here is what I know about “return to tiffany” sterling silver toggle necklaces and charm bracelets. For visual aids, I will actually be using some of the items listed for sale to the right of this guide! They change all the time, but it doesn’t matter, fake is fake, and real is real, no matter what.

Tips: 1. The links on any tiffany bracelets or necklaces are NOT pinched together, they are soldered together and totally smooth. You can’t tell where the link begins or ends.

2. The lobster clasp on a tiffany bracelet or necklace will show excellent workmanship, if it looks like it’s a cheapie, it’s not Tiffany. In fact, the entire piece should be heavy and feel solid in your hand. Also, here’s a little secret, the lobster clasp will ALSO be stamped 925, at the base of the clasp.

3. The tiffany toggle necklace is 16 inches long. The dog tag necklace and the heart tag necklace are both 15.5 inches long, they both fasten in the front and they are engraved with “tiffany 1837.” 4. Be suspicious of any seller who states in their auction that they don’t want questions about the authenticity of their item. Any decent seller who wants to make a sale will welcome questions. If their auction tells you not to ask questions, they probably have something to hide. Make sure there are closeups of the item. If not, ask for closeup photos to be sent to you.

5. As far as those other tiffany websites out there, they are all FAKE. The only true Tiffany site is www. tiffany.com. If the website is called ANYTHING else, it’s a fake. Don’t fall into the mindset that if they have a website, they must be real, they’re not. I made the same mistake when I first started out, and I got my money back. I had to work very hard to get it back, make alot of threats and be very persistent. If you’ve fallen into the same trap, tell that website that you’ll turn them in to Tiffany if they don’t refund your money. Those little websites don’t want a giant like Tiffany to sue them, and that generally works.
