Sorry if this was asked before but so many pages to go through! ><

How often should/can you polish the sterling silver pieces? or can you polish as you please? ^^;

I just got my first tiffany bracelet and am completely new to how to care for it!

Also.. do you have any recommendations on how to clean it? (or something I can buy to clean it with.. like a liquid not the polishing cloth.. ^^)

Thank you!

I use Weiman Silver Cream (I purchased it on eBay) to polish all my Tiffany silver pieces and it works wonders! It's a purple paste that you rub onto the silver using a clean cloth. A sponge comes included with the cream, and it works well, but it's only good for one or two uses. I just cut up a cotton shirt that I don't need and use that instead.

I haven't done enough research on this to say it with certainty, but I heard that using a liquid silver cleaner (the type you dip your silver into and it comes out shining like new without any rubbing) is bad for the silver and damages it in the long run. That's why i opted for the cream cleanser even though it takes more work.

@JENNiFER* Thank you! :D

Also, I was wondering (since my last question wasn't answered fully.. ><) can you polish (with the tiff silver polish cloth) after each use.. or will too much polishing do more harm than good? As for storing.. should I store it in the little pouch it came with?

Any advice would be awesome.. thank you!

As you wear your piece, you'll start to see when it needs to be polished. It won't be after every use, it will be maybe every couple of weeks, at least it is for me. The cloth is a good way to give it a quick polish and keep it looking nice, save the cream/liquid for when it's more tarnished. The pouch it came in is a great place to store it, the most important thing is that you don't want to store sterling out in the open air, and you don't want to store it anyplace humid if you can avoid it, since humidity makes it tarnish faster. The more you wear it, the less it will tarnish. Enjoy your new Tiffany piece!

HI tyler! I am about to purchase a gold tiffany necklace, but I am not sure wish one of these two..
1. RTT mini double heart or
2. 1837 round lock with diamond
But someone told me the double heart scratches (one to other) easily and the other one that the lock is always flipping back.
Which one do you recommend!?? I like them both. Please give me some advice.
Thankss!!

Tiffany's silver polish is $5 for a small bottle and it works great, it's the only thing I'd recommend for their silver. I'm pretty sure that you can use it as often as you like. Just use it along with a soft cloth and you should be fine.

It's true, the double heart design does scratch itself a lot. I've never seen the 1837 does but the description does sound nice. There is a way you can loop the chain so that it doesn't flip over. An SA can show you when you buy it.

Hi Tyler
I went to buy a sugar stack rings today, in SS rock crystal or amethyst, but the sales associate but looking in the system and she couldnt find any available. with more searching she came to the conclusion that the silver sugar stack rings were being discontinued. the SA told me to look online to see if the amethyst or rock crystal was still available and I could purchase it that way....the crystal was there but not the amethyst.

did they ever make the sugar stack ring in large size with SS and amethyst that you know of?
TIA

Up until I left the company they only had the silver sugar stack rings in the smaller size. It's a shame 'cause I really like the bigger size but that one is only in gold. They may have made a big one in silver after I left but I doubt it. The Picasso collection doesn't usually have the exact same designs in silver and gold.

Hiya, Thanks so much for your time. I have a few questions, I have recently purchased a secondhand Tiffany ring to give away as a gift. When I send it to the shop for revaluation, do i get the documentation in the leather holder? and will it be possible to purchase items like suede/blue box etc as well since I dont have it? Basically, will Tiffany do that? Thanks so much :)

I don't know what the valuation comes in to be honest. A valuation is quite pricey so I would hope it comes in a leather holder. They don't normally give blue boxes in those situations because the original purchaser already received it. Those boxes are relatively expensive and Tiffany tries to cut down on giving away more than one per purchase so they can't be used to help sell fake merchandise. That being said, it is possible because I have seen it before so I just recommend being very nice to the person who is helping you and asking very nicely:D
