Hi guys can you help me with this one from TIffany & Co

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360809637248?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649


Also does anyone know what kind of stamps a Tiffany ring should have?

Thanks so much

Hi, first of all I'm not an expert, just love Tiffany's pieces :smile1: . I think this auction is dodgy. The pictures are fine- they show genuine items- but did you notice that chain is different that chain in the first picture? 2 last pictures show authentic double chain but not single chain from first picture. It could be genuine mistake or something not right with this listing. I would stay away

Hi can someone tell me what 823 in a Chanel ring means. I won it in an auction and haven't received it yet but I don't know where to go and find out if the ring is authentic. Seller said it was purchased at the mall. Please help anyone. Any information is appreciated?

Hi Ladies -

I am quite sure that this lariat necklace I just received is fake. I purchased it from Tradesy: http://www.tradesy.com/accessories/tiffany-and-co-tiffany-and-co-925-sterling-silver-o-lariat-346429

Now that I have it in hand - it is clear that the large circle is not even a Sevillana circle. I don't know if Tiffany ever used this chain style in Sevillana lariat, I cannot find one online. The Tiffany marking appears to be laser etched. The chain is attached off center on the smaller circle and the workmanship around the clasp is poor. The lobster clasp does not have the .925 marking I am accustomed to seeing on Tiffany clasps. Finally, the chain for the larger circle is actually shorter than the smaller one, so you would have to wear it lopsided.

I am planning to return this to Tradesy, but if one of our Tiffany experts could confirm that it is fake, I would appreciate it.

I'm no Tiffany expert, but I think your instincts are dead on. So many red flags on this. I would return if I were you.

You're correct; this is quite a poor fake. This design is a peretti piece and should be signed as such, the tiffany markings and signature should actually be on the chain. The overall quality just isn't right either, I hope you can successfully return.

Thanks to you both - I have sent the item back to Tradesy. I pointed them to my original post and will send them back here if they push back at all. Appreciate the quick replies and for your expertise.

I need help. I bought a Tiffany bracelet for my girlfriend off ebay. I took it to Tiffany to get a valuation certificate and the rep told me that I will not be able to get one, because the original purchase was not made in my name. Is this true?

In London for about £100 they do this. Maybe you can try calling them first or go to another T&Co. Don't tell them you have it from ebay- they really are against it ( they would prefer you bought it directly from them ;)). Do you have sellers details? Sometimes it can help- they will have his/her name in their database.
