How can you tell if it s a Tiffany original?

Almost every representative of the fair half of humanity loves jewelry, and the mention of one of the oldest and most famous brands – Tiffany – evokes special awe and admiration. Luxurious, elegant, incredibly attractive products made the company so famous that its name was immortalized in the legendary film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” It was the necklace of this jewelry house that the charming heroine Audrey Hepburn demonstrated in the film. Such an incredible success story and the enduring popularity of Tiffany&Co jewelry. led to the inevitable – there were many enterprising craftsmen who wanted to make quick money selling an ugly resemblance to luxury accessories. But there is one main sign that will help you immediately distinguish a genuine item from a fake – the company logo. Tiffany has several options for applying the emblem. This depends on the production date of the product. But one thing is unshakable – the logo should be clear, with smooth edges and read only as “Tiffany & Co.” or “T&Co.».

Accompanying documentation and packaging of original Tiffany products

Some jewelry houses do not accompany each product with a complete set of documents. If necessary, the buyer can request certificates confirming authenticity from the seller or conduct additional examination from the appropriate specialist. However, luxury products manufactured by T&Co. are always in the original turquoise packaging and have all the documents. In addition, jewelry inlaid with diamonds is additionally equipped with a so-called diamond dossier. The certificates indicate:

• the model range to which the product belongs;
• date of manufacture;
• stylistic direction;
• serial number;
• certificate confirming the authenticity of things;
• information that the item is included in the international database – this provides the right to free cleaning.

Help. Chinese porcelain produced by the jewelry company adorned the tables of the US White House, and stylish, original items emphasized the delicate taste and grace of ladies like Jacqueline Kennedy.

The original packaging deserves special attention. It is an integral part of T&Co jewelry accessories. It is interesting that already in the 19th century, when the House was just starting its activities, it already had a signature color. The unusual turquoise shade emphasized the spontaneity, elegance and grace of the brand.

Help. The most expensive models, decorated with the T&Co. logo, are available in dark blue packaging. Accessories made of silver or gold, inlaid with inexpensive stones, are sold in turquoise-colored cases, and diamond accessories are sold in deep blue boxes.

What the original Tiffany logo and mark look like

The company does not have a single logo – it can have many options, depending on the model range and collection. In addition, unique author’s accessories are marked with the author’s signature. Distinctive features also depend on the season in which the product was released.

Despite the listed nuances, engraving should:

1. Good read. The letters have clear boundaries and are applied neatly.
2. Doesn’t fall out of plane. The period in the manufacturer’s name should not extend to the edge of the jewelry item.
3. There must be at least a minimum distance between “Please” and “Returne”. Two words do not merge into one.

Help. In the first collections, the logo was not as perfect as is implied by the standards accepted in the modern jewelry world.

In addition to quality, the location of the engraving and the inscription itself deserve attention. Upon inspection, you should make sure that the emblem looks exactly like “Tiffany & Co.” or “T&Co.” It is also worth knowing that only four designers had the right to indicate a personal signature on jewelry. These include:

1. Jean Schlumberger.
2. Paloma Picasso.
3. Elsa Peretti.
4. Frank O’Henry.

Help. If the letters and numbers are unclear, difficult to read, one of the dots slides off the edge, and traces of soldering are noticeable on the jewelry, it’s a fake.

How to distinguish the original by the quality of materials and workmanship

The best evidence of the authenticity of a piece of jewelry is the quality of metal processing and inlay, as well as the highest level of workmanship. This is clearly visible from the inside of the jewelry: the original product is beautifully polished, the quality of the connections of the links is not satisfactory, the openwork elements are made impeccably, the inlay is distributed evenly, neatly inserted into the sockets, the weight of the product is palpable.

Help. Light weight, typical of a cheap alloy, scratches on the surface, poorly fitted or polished links, incorrect font of engravings, and incorrect location of the stamp indicate a fake.

To create its models, Tiffany uses unique transparent diamonds of the highest clarity. The quality of the minerals is confirmed by a certificate from the American Geological University. The company pays special attention to the placement of the inlay – each stone must sit evenly in the nest and retain its original shade.

Help. In the 50s of the last century, the work “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” appeared on bookstore shelves, based on which a film of the same name was made in 1961. Audrey Hepburn, who played the main role in the cult film, became the second and last representative of the fair half of humanity to wear a Jean Schlumberger necklace with a unique “Tiffany Diamond”. Now you can admire the jewelry at the Tiffany Museum in New York.

The manufacturer applies no less stringent requirements to precious metals used for the manufacture of jewelry accessories:

Branded items made of the highest standard 18K gold are marked “750”.

@Hunter Ridge Jewelry

Help. The House recently released a new line – Rubedo. The items presented in the collection are made of a unique alloy of silver, copper and gold. This combination of metals gives the jewelry an unusual soft pink hue.

Markings confirming the quality of materials are present on each product. The sample must be clearly legible and meet accepted standards.

“Tiffany” is the dream of many women and girls; these are accessories associated with the highest quality and style. A successful long-term history speaks better than words about the company’s leading position in the jewelry market.

Usage experience:
a week or more

Today there will be a special review, because we will not talk about decorative or caring cosmetics, but today I will tell you about my New Year’s purchase, which was planned a long time ago and on the eve of the holiday it came true. I have been dreaming of Tiffany products for a long time, but the legendary engagement ring is not yet shining for me (or rather, it is no longer shining), I don’t wear pendants/rings, but earrings for my dear soul. I settled on universal nails Return to Tiffany collections – after all, they can be worn both on ordinary days and on a going out.

Return to Tiffany Collection represents

The famous hearts and key rings are one of the main symbols of Tiffany. According to statistics, this is the most recognizable piece of jewelry in the world and has become a real phenomenon. Legend has it that the Return to Tiffany design was first introduced in 1969, and each piece was engraved with the words “Please Return to Tiffany & Co., New York.” Each piece of jewelry had a unique registration number, which ensured that if your key ring went missing, it would be returned to you at the company’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue. Today, that same legendary bracelet with a heart-shaped pendant has been complemented by bracelets, oval pendants, necklaces and pendants. New cuffs, rings and earrings are also decorated with the famous phrase. The collection’s pieces are made of sterling silver, as well as 18-karat yellow, white and rose gold, including variations with diamonds.

appearance: the earrings are as if behind seven locks and seven seals

I must say right away that everything, from the first steps in the store to the final product, smells of style, luxury and quality. Even the cardboard bag seems not so ordinary – it is made of very thick paper, holds its shape perfectly, has a ribbed texture and, of course, is made in the legendary, so recognizable blue tones with the Tiffany & Co. symbols.

By the way, such a recognizable blue shade is, so to speak, the “private property” of the Tiffany company and is not available for commercial use, since since 1998 the color has been part of the trademark (although for me this blue is more like a turquoise color)

Having opened the treasured package, we take out a blue box with the symbols of Tiffany & Co., tied with a white ribbon; again, the blue packaging, like the white ribbon with which the box is tied, is also officially part of the Tiffany trademark.

Having removed the white ribbon and opened the box, it seems that now you will see this splendor, but not everything is so simple: opening the box, we see a flannel bag tied with a turquoise rope of the same shade and with the symbols of Tiffany & Co..

It was only after untying the rope that we finally got to the earrings themselves

I want to give a few words to the bag – not only is it incredibly pleasant to hold, the fabric is very soft, like plush, but it also performs the practical function of preserving and carefully storing the product, because it has 2 pockets, in each of which you need to store one earring so that they do not come into contact with each other, without creating abrasions. How well thought out everything is!

price: 12600 rubles;

place of purchase: Tiffany brand boutique in Moscow.

The earrings are miniature hearts (about 1cm), made of sterling silver, with the inscription Please return to Tiffany & Co on the front side. New York 925.

Sterling silver has an important place in Tiffany’s history and
serves as further confirmation of her reputation as a leader in her
in fact. At the end of the 19th century, Tiffany silverware was
awarded at major world exhibitions.
In addition, Tiffany was the first to introduce a cleanliness standard in the United States.
sterling silver – 925 standard. Soon the standard was
accepted at the national level.

The castle is a flower with the inscription T& Co on the reverse side.

It is incredibly tight and the first time I put on the earrings, it seemed to me that I would break the rod, because the lock is insanely tight and it is very difficult to remove it (it is much easier to put it on).

I don’t make sure that the lock fits tightly to the earlobe – I fix the lock somewhere in the middle of the earring stem, and I am completely sure that the lock will not come off and I will not be left without earrings. I just have one unpleasant and sad peculiarity – for some reason only one stud earring runs away from me and it’s a glove). Therefore, I had certain fears when buying studs, but with such a mechanism I know for sure that the earrings will stay with me, will not continue traditions and will not add to the sad statistics of losses, so a tight lock is a plus for me.

I was afraid that due to their miniature size they might get lost, but, on the contrary, the size of the earrings is ideal – they look incredibly neat and delicate on the ear, as if they were created especially for me. They also decorated my New Year’s evening look, making it brighter and giving an accent, and in during the daytime they also look very appropriate and adequate.

They seem like simple carnations, but they can decorate and complement any image, without ever overloading it or making it simple.

Everything is very simple: I act according to the recommendations:

Products that have both wood and sterling silver parts should be cleaned with a regular polishing cloth. If you use a silver polish, do not use it on parts of the piece that contain wood or stones.

That is, I go over it with regular flannel fabric so that the earrings shine and do not have prints.

First, the the place where the purchase is made. For example, Tiffany & Co. products. in Moscow it is possible to purchase only in a company boutique; it is also possible to purchase through an international website, but delivery issues need to be clarified.

Second, the branded packaging – turquoise box. The products are sold directly in this box; if suddenly the jewelry is offered to be purchased in a regular bag or some other packaging, then most likely the product will be a fake.

Third, As a luxury brand, the company does not carry out sales or organize promotions. The company’s jewelry cannot be purchased wholesale or defective, because low-quality models are immediately disposed of.

As for me, these are basic things, so as not to run into a fake.

I am so glad that I became the owner of “my” earrings and finally I was able to get acquainted with the products and brand Tiffany & Co. I really liked both the model of the earrings and their quality. In addition to being delighted with the product, I am also completely delighted with the details, starting with the attitude towards the buyer in the store and the branded bag, ending with the product itself – everything is done with high quality, tastefully and professionally, you can feel the luxury and spirit of history. Therefore, I definitely recommend these earrings for purchase; they will also serve as an excellent gift, because there are probably many who want to get the treasured box from Tiffany & Co (by the way, the original boxes cannot be purchased without the product), and also a wonderful thing for themselves.
