What We Buy
Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamonds
Most Tiffany jewelry is sterling silver, and the silver in a piece is worth little next to what it cost. Brand demand, the line it's from and its condition carry the value. Gold, platinum and diamond pieces start from their metal and stones, with the brand on top.
Return to Tiffany
The heart tag, oval tag and toggle pieces engraved "Please Return to Tiffany & Co. New York", a line that started with a key ring in 1969. Most are sterling silver; the 18k gold versions carry their gold as a floor and bring much more.
Elsa Peretti
Peretti designed for Tiffany from 1974: the Bone cuff, Open Heart, Bean, Teardrop, mesh pieces and Diamonds by the Yard. Pieces are signed Elsa Peretti next to the Tiffany mark. The Bone cuff and the gold pieces are the most sought after.
Tiffany T & HardWear
Tiffany T launched in 2014 and HardWear in 2017. Both lines come in sterling silver and 18k gold, and the gold versions are worth far more on resale than the silver ones.
Engagement Rings & Diamond Bands
The Tiffany Setting, the six-prong solitaire from 1886, plus Soleste, Novo and diamond bands, mostly in platinum stamped PT950. Tiffany laser-inscribes its registered diamonds of 0.18 carats and up with a T&Co. number that matches the diamond certificate.
Two-Tone, Gold & Older Tiffany
Silver-and-gold pieces, 18k gold chains and charms, Jean Schlumberger designs and older Tiffany silver. Vintage silver is often stamped "Sterling" rather than 925.
Tiffany Watches
Tiffany & Co. signed watches, from steel rectangular dress watches to sport and gold models, many of them quartz. Quartz is normal for these and doesn't hurt the offer.
Pricing
What Moves a Tiffany Offer
Two Tiffany pieces bought for the same price can be far apart in what they're worth today. Here is what decides it.
- Metal
- Sterling silver is stamped 925 (older pieces "Sterling"), gold is usually stamped 750 for 18k, and platinum PT950. Gold and platinum start from their weight; silver pieces are priced mostly on brand demand.
- Line and design
- A Bone cuff, a HardWear link necklace and a plain silver chain are all Tiffany, and they sell very differently. Recognizable designs in good shape sell best.
- Condition
- Tarnish cleans off and isn't a problem. Dents, stretched or kinked chains, deep scratches and broken clasps lower the number.
- Engraving
- Monograms and personal engravings narrow who will buy the piece next, so they usually lower the offer. Engraved pieces still sell.
- Diamond certificate
- On a diamond ring, the Tiffany certificate records the stone's grading and helps the offer. Without it, we check the stone itself.
- Box, pouch and receipt
- Empty blue boxes and pouches are easy to buy online, so on their own they prove nothing and add little. A receipt or certificate helps more.
Not sure what you have? The stamps are on the tag, the clasp or inside the ring. Text photos of them to 917-608-8939.
Authentication
How We Check Tiffany
Fake Return to Tiffany and Open Heart pieces are everywhere, and they copy the stamps first. We check the piece in front of you and tell you what we see.
- The Tiffany & Co. mark, the metal stamp and, on Peretti pieces, the Elsa Peretti signature
- Lettering on Return to Tiffany tags: font, spacing and depth
- A metal test, so plated copies don't pass as silver or gold
- Clasps, jump rings and solder joints
- On diamond pieces, the setting, the stone and the T&Co. inscription where there is one
Get Ready
Before You Bring It In
Light tarnish is fine. Don't polish, dip or repair anything before you sell; bring it as it is.
- Bring the diamond certificate on a ring, and any receipt
- Bring the box and pouch too; they help a little
- Bring both earrings of a pair and every piece of a set
- Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale
