It is authentic, and you are correct about the difference in age being the reason for the different font on the hallmark. The ones today do have curvier letters, and also the copyright symbol before the rest of the hallmark.

They are authentic, and Paragon Pieces is one of my favorite sellers, I highly recommend them! Did you win them?

Thank you Jpg,you are such an expert!
I got the RTT oval set today,they are beautiful! the only question I have now is the differente between those two tags. the necklace tag is smooth and no dents mirror like,as my another Tiffany's,but the bracelet tag surface was quite rough...I believe the seller's last picture is the bracelet tag.is that because the year differente or what?

It is likely that one (the bracelet, right?) experienced more wear than the necklace. This is quite common difference between pre-owned bracelets and necklaces. The bracelets bang against things, clothes, handbags, counters, tables because we use our hands so much. The necklace usually doesn't experience that kind of roughness at all, it just sits on the neck,lol! Make a paste of baking soda and water, and rub it into both the bracelet and necklace and rinse well in cold water. Dry with a towel gently. It will polish/clean it up very nicely without being too abrasive and without the expense of a commercial cleaner.

Hi,
anyone can help me authenticate this ring? I got this from a seller who said that its preloved and its an old model. Its seems to be pure silver to me as its quite heavy and the tarnish is removed after I used silver cleaner. But there's some parts of the links that doesn;t look good. Had asked the seller but she said that she could have knocked it previously.

The ring itself is authentic. If you mean the top or bottom where you can see the edges of the links, that happens on these rings.

Thanks! Its only at the top edge of the links. Just a bit concerned as the stamp is slanted instead of straight. Felt much assured after hearing your comments. Thanks!

They all look authentic, and the seller is highly reputable, however the one bead bracelet is older, and looks like it has been through ALOT-def. in need of polish and buff big time!! The third style of tag with the copyright on it is newer. Many vintage/older Tiffany items will not have the copyright symbol on them, even though they are the same style. You will see older venetian link items without the copyright symbol, but it will be on the newer venetian link tags.
