Immediate Warning Signs<\/strong>

\"TrueFacet<\/a><\/div>\n

Many Tiffany & Co. fakes have obvious flaws that make them clearly stand out from an authentic piece. The most common mistakes are low-quality materials and misspelling and alignment flaws of any engravings.<\/p>\n

As you handle the Tiffany & Co. piece in question, feel for its quality. Tiffany & Co.\u2019s sterling silver is much heavier than the silver plating a forger would use. In turn, an authentic Tiffany & Co. item will feel heavier and you can appreciate the weight of the solid gold, platinum, or sterling silver piece in your hand.<\/p>\n

One\u00a0noteworthy point: Tiffany & Co.\u2019s silver jewelry oxidizes, creating a film or discoloration on the surface. While this is to be expected and is absolutely normal for any silver jewelry, if there is any color showing through<\/em> the silver, it\u2019s a good indication the piece is silver-plated, not solid, and therefore fake.<\/p>\n

One of Tiffany & Co.\u2019s most frequently forged pieces are their toggle bracelets and necklaces. But counterfeiters usually take shortcuts to recreate the iconic Tiffany & Co. design that become dead giveaways to its inauthenticity. While Tiffany & Co. solders the links of the chain bracelet or necklace, a knockoff\u2019s chain links are usually pinched together with visible gaps left behind. Therefore, if the links do not look like one solid, continuous piece, the alleged Tiffany & Co. chain\u00a0is definitely fake.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the market for a piece from Tiffany & Co.\u2018s wildly popular \u201cPlease Return to Tiffany & Co.\u201d <\/a>collection, here\u2019s an insider\u2019s tip: Tiffany & Co. didn\u2019t release the heart-shaped tag necklace until 2008. Therefore, be on the lookout for false advertisements claiming a tag is vintage when it is in actuality a fake.<\/p>\n

Finally, examine the Tiffany & Co. packaging. Tiffany & Co. has a distinct and trademarked\u00a0robin\u2019s egg blue color that is incredibly difficult for counterfeiters to replicate. Familiarize yourself with this unique blue and examine the color and quality of the supposed\u00a0Tiffany & Co. boxes.<\/p>\n

Diamond Jewelry Red Flags<\/strong>

In 2004, Tiffany & Co. began laser engraving their diamonds with a serial number. Inspect the diamond with a loupe or bring it to your local jeweler to see if the diamond is imprinted with a Tiffany & Co. serial number.<\/p>\n

Another word of caution: do not rely on the diamond\u2019s setting<\/em> as an indication of the diamond\u2019s<\/em> authenticity. Tiffany & Co. prides itself on its exceptional and beautifully-cut diamonds; in turn, these exquisite diamonds sell for much more than an unbranded counterpart. Many counterfeiters will use a real Tiffany & Co. setting but swap out the diamond with a lower quality and non-Tiffany & Co.-approved diamond.<\/p>\n

Concerning<\/b>\u00a0Price Points<\/strong>

Always compare the prices of pre-owned Tiffany & Co. jewelry from various online vendors. You want to cross-reference a handful of websites to sketch out a general range that Tiffany & Co. typically resells in. Be sure to factor in the condition as well which may influence the resale price.<\/p>\n

While some counterfeiters will do a convincing job replicating Tiffany & Co. jewelry and inflate their prices, these forged pieces are even still priced significantly lower than the average market value range. If any item is listed with a too-good-to-be-true price tag, it probably is.<\/p>\n

Ask an Expert and Eliminate Doubt<\/strong>
