These pendants have been made by Tiffany for a long time. The way they are marked has changed subtly over time. Some say 18k, some say 750, Spain. The item is fairly old, probably 20 yrs but it doesn't look suspicious. It does say Peretti with 2 ts, right?

Yes, it has two T's in PERETTI.
The lack of soldering on the ring of the clasp that holds to the necklace chain had me concerned. Maybe the clasp was changed through the years...?
Many thanks!

Hi, I purchased a silver Tiffany & Co. Double Chain Infinity Knot Necklace. I liked it so much that I also got it in gold. But now that I have the 2 necklaces to compare ~they are very different... Are they real?
The silver infinity pendant has space in between where the infinity meets in the middle. The gold infinity pendant is much flatter and thinner. (I tried to capture this depth difference in the photos.)
Silver tag reads: Tiffany&Co. / 925
Gold tag reads: ©Tiffany & Co / AU 750
Gold clasp reads: AU750
Silver clasp reads: 925
NEITHER pendant is hallmarked.
Thanks for your help!
Here are photos comparing the 2 necklaces:

Hi there, could someone please authenticate this cartier love ring for me?

It's pre-loved, could be older. It doesn't have the (c) copyright in a circle, like I've seen.

It's my first cartier so I don't have a trained eye for it.

Was also wondering if store SA's are allowed to verbally verify?

Thanks so much ahead to anyone.

These are tricky, there is nothing suspicious but the fakes are quite good. Is it magnetic? Can you take it to Cartier?

This what I think. The newer infinity design is flatter and thinner. This is due to rising metal costs. The silver one you have is older, from a time of relatively cheaper metal costs. Did you ever notice how fine jewellery gets chunkier when gold/silver is cheap and thinner when they are expensive??!!

Hey, thanks for the quick response.. I could bring it to Cartier but I'm not sure how to approach the question. The ring is cleaned and I cannot even ask for a "shining or polishing".. Does anyone know if Cartier will simply verify authenticity?

They will provide a valuation certificate in the UK, I don't know about the US. You will have to pay though - which I think is fair enough.
