Can someone help ID this. I'm thinking its a Lagos Caviar necklace. On the stamp mark I can make out what reads "Caviar" but that's all. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

Hi Midge, it is a Lagos Beaded Heart necklace.

While I have never bought from myself, they have been around a long time and have a good reputation. Those are stock photos they use (with permission of the manufacturer), but I have never heard of them selling a fake. I would buy from with confidence, just read the fine-print on shipping if it is not offered free.

Thanks...I logged onto the website and saw at how much some of them go for. I really got lucky...I won this a few months ago on the Goodwill site...I only paid about $11.00 for it. I'm going to take it to Bailey Banks and Biddle since they sell Lagos Jewelry maybe they can tell me more about it.

Looks good to me. Hallmark looks correct, pouch looks right and box looks good too (as jpg mentioned, it is an older box).

Thanks Aquablueness-Do you have any idea how much older this older design chain and box may be?? Oh and i've noticed the pouch doesn't seem as thick as the larger on i got from Beverly Hills in May. Do u think over the years they've used different materials?

I'm quite happy wearing it. I just really want the bigger heart (medium) now on the newer peretti chain (would really like 18inch)- I'm just trying to decide if I should just pay full price and buy it direct from Tiffany's so I know for sure it is 100% genuine or keep searching on ebay- which i have been doing heaps- just so hard to know with so many fakes about.

First one looks good from the pics they have, but I always would prefer to see close-ups of just the pendant. I don't like it when the markings are all white like that, but it seems just from one angle, and chain is def. good.

Second one not enough pics to tell at all.

Preliminarily, I say not authentic. Box is poorly made and pattern is not right, stuffing is wrong, fonts look wrong. I'm sure better pics of the front markings would confirm for me.

Not Aqua, but it is at a minimum 7 yrs, I would say. As for the thickness of the pouch. They are made of suede, so like with any leather material, you have different hide thicknesses (so even items bought in the same year may be a bit thicker or thinner if from different hides) and over time they soften up, which makes them seem thinner also. Like the difference between a brand new suede gloves and ones that have been broken in. It is not hard to find genuine open hearts on ebay, which would save you $$ since Tiffany doesn't go on sale and increases in price every year. Just be careful, and we are always here to look at any Tiffany item/listing you may be interested in.
