Would someone check to see if these are authentic? It's from YoogisCloset and I know that they are good and I had bought several pieces from them, but these look off somehow.

This one is a Cartier trinity baby ring necklace

This one is a Tiffany gift box necklace

If these are not authentic, then I am worried about other pieces that they sell. I have always trusted their site.
Thanks!

Hello lovely ladies of PF. I am hoping someone can help me here. I purchased a vintage Tiffany bead bracelet from eBay (my first mistake) and when I received it it was quite evident to me that it's authenticity was questionable.

-It has has 16 beads https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B17G9l88ckqcMnlrRUdSVU1jNjg/edit?usp=sharing

The inner chain that the beads are strung on is NOT a fox-link chain. I have put the small bead bracelet I personally purchased from Tiffany's next to the one I got on eBay: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B17G9l88ckqcYzAyaExZMGZ3VmM/edit?usp=sharing

-The bracelet has an additional jump ring at the end: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B17G9l88ckqcelFtaHhlUjlxcFE/edit?usp=sharing

-The round disk dangle tag that has the "Tiffany and Co" stamped on it does not have the
© (copyright) symbol next to the T.

I have contacted the seller and she told me she bought it from another person and says its real. Here is a snipit from her response to me which raises some serious flags:


Hi there,
Well I called a Tiffany store and I asked general questions. What I was told is that depending on the size sold there would be 16-18 silver balls. In plain fact that certain sizes had the amount of balls to acomodate that length.
I was also told that there never has been a set chain for any of their lines. Over the years it has changed and really all the different chain says is a date line.
I purchased this bracelet as a Tiffany Bracelet and it is halmarked as a Tiffany bracelet. It was purchased by me as preowned it may have been modified by the original owner but I can assure you it is a Tiffany & Co bracelet. It was also pointed out to me that just like every designer they have two models. One sold in high end stores and one model sold in outlet stores.

I can 100% assure you it is what it is named. Any differences may be age, store quality, or past owner modification. All pictures in the listing show exactly what you purchased so there was no deceipt.

She continues to claim its from an outlet store which is so infuriating. I have opened a dispute and am hoping this gets resolved ASAP however some knowledgeable insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you ladies, & I hope you're all having a fantastic day :smile1:

I'm not familiar with that bracelet so can't help you authenticate it unfortunately, but Tiffany does not have any outlet stores. As the seller bought it preowned, it's possible that they were misinformed by the previous seller.

The only way to be 100% sure is to send it to Tiffany for repairs - they will only work on it if it's authentic - but this may take a while. Alternatively try contacting Authenticate4U; for a small fee they'll be able to tell you whether it's authentic, and their turnaround will be much quicker.

Both of these are authentic. They are big sellers in Japan and known for selling authentic only. One good thing too is you're protected by ebay buyer protection. If a seller lists an item as authentic and it turns out not to be you will get your money back. Ebay goes after the seller and refunds your money. :smile1:

Many Thanks in advance :D

Could someone please have a look at this bracelet?
After I saw the hallmark, I bought it yesterday at a local thrift store for a crazy good price!
I'm brand new to Tiffany, but have good thoughts about this, having found a similar one on ebay.
All the links are soldered and it's nice and heavy.
Would love to know how old it might be, original price or any other info...Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I won this Elsa Peretti Open heart necklace with diamonds on ebay for 100$. But it retails for 715$. This price seems too good to be true and I have questions about authenticity. The box looks correct but I can't tell about the necklace itself..

Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elsa-Perett...alAkVuYOH5tawU%2FjP1I%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Item name: Elsa Peretti Open Heart pendant with Diamonds in Sterling Silver
Seller name: bijo113
Ebay item number: 321185980241


any help would be great! I feel like it's kind of late to ask for close up photos of the font since I already won the bid

This may have been resolved by now if not this might help. The single link chain on which the balls are threaded is not an issue as in the time this bracelet has been available that has changed so there isn't one correct type. Also the copyright symbol before the tiffany mark on the circle tag is another thing that hasn't always been the same. An extra ring may have been added by the previous owner to make fastening easier. If you still have this bracelet what would help is a clear picture of the markings on the circle tag, and also a picture of the clasp.
