Helpful tips for my fellow poshers. 🎀 🔸Links on bracelets are soldered not pinched 🔸the 925 markings are very legible & defined 🔸Lobster clasps are very well made & have a 925 stamp on the base 🔸should feel heavy & sturdy🔸will photograph dark-almost gold looking, fake will appear very shiny & white 🔶 Source: http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-To-Spot-Fake-Tiffany-Jewelry-/10000000001241859/g.html

@mamadiehlio hi! Can you help me determine if a listing is authentic? I am looking at it as a gift for my daughter send only want the real thing! Let me know and I'll provide seller Thanks!
graceandrepeat
@vwelch I can try!

@mamadiehlio Raniaabd. Thanks!

@vwelch okay so I'm no expert, this is all based on the research I did to find out if a tiffany bracelet I had was authentic. The clasp on hers looks like it's in good shape & isn't showing any signs of tarnishing, the links look like they were soldered the way Tiffany's does it, the bracelet photographs dark, & the etching on the back has the right font & is super legible. I think it's authentic. Everything looks the way it should based on my research. 💕

@vwelch there should be a 925 stamp on the base of the clasp, I would ask her to photograph that. I think if that's there you're in business
mytoesinthesand
@mamadiehlio that stamp on the clasp was what I was thinking too! Thank you SO much!!

@vwelch no problem! Happy to help! 😊

@mamadiehlio Hi, I hope you know the answer to my Tiffany question. I bought a Tiffany Peretti cross necklace (bubble one). Nowhere on the cross does it have any hallmarks. The chain has T&Co on one side and Peretti on the other side. The spring clasp has 925 on it. Do you think this is authentic? I am concerned because there is no hallmark on the cross pendant. Thoughts???
graceandrepeat
Hi there! This is what I found on Peretti jewelry "The pieces by artists such as Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso, Frank Gehry etc, will be signed as well as stamped. When buying a piece that has a chain and pendant (e.g. the Tiffany bar pendant) BOTH the pendant AND the chain will be marked Tiffany & Co 925, sometimes along with the word ITALY on the other side of the ring clasp in the back.. If the chain is marked but not the pendant, then that pendant IS NOT Tiffany! If the seller hasn't shown the markings in their photos, either ask for additional photos or don't bid." Best of luck!

@sophie01 any luck?

@mamadiehlio Hi, thanks for your reply! I always thought that the pendant, which is the cross in this case, should have a hallmark on it however when looking at all the listings on eBay of this particular cross, I didn't see any hallmarks on any of the crosses, just the ones on the clasp which are on this necklace. I looked a long time for pics of any markings on the cross and no one on eBay had a pic of anything on the cross?? I already bought this one so it might be too late for me but I don't have any evidence that there is a hallmark that is supposed to be on the cross. I know this isn't the norm on tiffany pendants but I haven't come across even one that has a hallmark nor does anyone on eBay mention a hallmark on the cross itself?? I don't know what to think and I don't live near a tiffany store to check the authenticity. One thing, you cannot remove the pendant from the chain either so it couldn't have been swapped out. Anymore thoughts??

@mamadiehlio Hello. Can you please help me find out if my Tiffany heart earrings are fake? Thank you.

Hi there, I’m wondering if a pair of earrings I just purchased off of posh is legit, how would I be able to tell/could I somehow send you a pic?
graceandrepeat
@berbene143 Hi! What kind of earrings were they?
graceandrepeat
@shirleywoodcock Hi! I’m so sorry, I know you commented forever ago, but I didn’t have Poshmark set up on my new phone 🤦🏼♀️ Do you still need help?
berbene143
@mamadiehlio Tiffany & Co. Return to Tiffany earrings. I got them on this website but I’m a little skeptical that they’re really Tiffany lol. She accepted my $40 offer. Granted, they have no backs.
graceandrepeat
@berbene143 lol! Well that’s an awesome deal!
Check the stamp on the earrings and make sure it’s centered. The lettering shouldn’t be too close to the edges, or off-center. Their stamping is perfect, so if it’s off at all or the font looks weird, it’s probably fake. The fonts should also all match and be in alignment with the rest of the stamp. The stamps should also all be legible even through wear, so if the stamp is starting to come off or isn’t legible anymore, that’s probably fake.
graceandrepeat
If they’re silver, look for the “925” stamp.
If there’s any sign of wear, make sure where it’s worn down is still silver, if it’s any other color (greenish, etc), it’s probably fake.
Also from what I’ve read, fakes won’t put spaces in the “please return to,” so make sure the spaces are all defined and the words aren’t all smooshed together.
This is a super helpful article: http://www.detectafake.com/viewProduct/?269659
Hopefully you got a real one! ♥️
berbene143
@mamadiehlio thank you for your response! I can’t really tell from the picture and she has since taken the post down, but it still says “awaiting shipment” in my orders. Is there a way for me to send you a pic via posh? I’m still new to this haha
graceandrepeat
@berbene143 I actually hadn’t used Poshmark for over a year 🤦🏼♀️ I saw your comment and that’s what made me re-download the app! Haha. Do you have Instagram? You can DM me a pic there! I’m @graceandrepeat

@sophie01 I had the same question. I just received a ELSA PERETTI mini cross and 1. There are no markings in the cross. 2. The clasp on the chain is pinched and not soldered. I’m going to request a refund. :-(

I'm curious, and hopefully you may have the answer or direct me to a good resource to find the answer. I've seen some Tiffany items for sale on this site and others that will have a "C" for copyright and some that don't. Should ALL Tiffany jewelry have the copyright stamp before Tiffany & Co.?

@madkis22 Hopefully this is helpful.

What do you think about this? The 925 looks wonky to me :

Hi do you know if ALL T&CO charm bracelets with the “please return to Tiffany” heart charm have stamps on the back of the heart? I’ve had a few over the years & can’t remember if all of them had a stamp on the back of the heart charm.

@mamadiehlio can you help me determine if this is a real Tiffany toggle bracelet?

@mamadiehlio Hi, do you know by any chance if vintage Tiffany (Elsa Peretti bean) had a stamp without a period at the end? I know that back then the stamping varied until more recent pieces, but I’m not sure if it ever had a version without the period at the end of Co. Everything else checks out but this absent period. Thanks! 😊🙏🏼

@mamadiehlio Hi! Thank you for this post! I have a question: when you say “it should feel heavy “
do you mean real Tiffany
or fake Tiffany should feel heavy?

Has anyone ever seen an oval tag necklace without a 925 at the base of the clasp or does that 100% signify a fake? The 925 is on the claw part

Hi! Would you pls help me identify if a listing is authentic? azglitzgirls
Return to Tiffany bracelet
This is my first Tiffany purchase ever and I need some direction. Thanks in advance!! 🙏
elainejones
Unfortunately these counterfeits are really good now. My advice u either go to the Tiffany’s store to buy it or meet someone who is selling it at a safe place. That way I can at least be able to tell the quality etc. Too hard to tell by pictures

Hi, new buyer here. Does the RTT blue heart studs or RTT SS have a stamp on the backs or just posts? Thank you. I think I was duped, so sad. 😞
