I loved the design of this bracelet when the new designs were revealed a few weeks ago. Since I've had some personal and professional challenges of late, I thought I deserved a treat. I was impressed that each of the 23 hearts was individually wrapped in cloth and that each heart has the RTT design engraved on both sides. The charms make a nice little noise on the wrist. The bracelet is substantial but not too heavy.

Your new bracelet is wonderfully beautiful! Are all of the links soldered together? I just got a secondhand Return to Tiffany piece and to be honest, I'm desperately trying to figure out whether or not the smaller links connecting the hearts to the chain are supposed to be soldered as well or if they have openings in them so that they can be connected to the chain. I did make a post in the Jewelry authentication thread but this mystery is really gnawing at me.

I don't want to take the attention away from your piece though! Do you plan on wearing it every day casually or only for special occasions? (n un)

Thanks for the kind words! All of my links are soldered...the "big"ones that compose the bracelet itself and the smaller ones that hold the hearts on. I'll rotate this bracelet into my wardrobe; I won't wear it every single day (although I bet I'll wear it a lot in the coming days!), but I won't save it for any special occasion either.

Now I'm rather frightened! Would you say that an open link like this

is a huge red flag?! My name is Tiffany and was really happy to get a Tiffany piece but I definitely don't want to fooled into purchasing a fake! Do you know if most Tiffany pieces are supposed to have all links soldered?

I'd love to get the same style as yours! It's super elegant but being the clutz that I am I feel like I'd be banging the adorable little hearts all over the place. Do you think tarnishing and scratching from all of the hearts rubbing against each other is something that you need to worry about? I also really love the packaging and how they covered each heart.

I just so happen to have your version of the RTT heart bracelet as well, courtesy of a gift from my hubby from years ago. I got it out of the jewelry box, and I'm afraid I don't have good news for you. Again, all of my links are completely solid on the bracelet itself, and the charm link is soldered shut. My charm looks much different from yours. The font and spacing on the print is different, and mine has 925 engraved at the top of the loop where the charm link goes through. The charm is scratched up from wear, and I have no doubt that the little versions on my new bracelet will probably end up the same way. Some of my Tiffany silver doesn't seem to tarnish at all while I battle with a few of the other pieces. Since there are so many little parts to the new bracelet, I hope it's in the former category. I bet I'll need to be careful once sweater weather arrives so I don't get caught in my clothes or snag fabric.

Oh bummer! Thanks for letting me know! D: I'm gonna have to try and get my money back! Bleh! As soon as I held it in my hands, I knew something wasn't right. The charm just didn't feel or even look right to me. Thanks for helping me out! I really appreciate it! I hope just my pictures will be enough to get a reversed transaction from Paypal.

I was also wondering if your new bracelet style was rather heavy? I feel like with all the little hearts, it would be!

Gorgeous piece! Hoping you have a smile on your face every time it jangles on your wrist!

Yay, I was hoping for a reveal of this. Congratulations!!

I loved this the moment I saw it online. How loud is the jingle? Do you think it will be distracting to others?

I wore my new bracelet today, so I can offer a better review. The bracelet is lightweight but not flimsy. It didn't catch on my clothes or snag on anything. The charms don't make a high pitched jingle when they move together, it's a lower noise and is much less distracting than my traditional charm bracelets. I'm very pleased with how it looks and feels on the wrist. I'm particularly happy with the engraving on both sides of the heart; it doesn't matter what angle my arm is in or how the hearts hang, you still see the writing. It's a pricey bracelet, but I'm really happy with it.

Very nice. I tried this bracelet on the other day. It's very nice.

This bracelet is absolutely gorgeous. However beware, the catch is not sturdy for a charm bracelet. I wore mine out for the first time shopping, looked at my wrist halfway through my trip and my bracelet was gone. My stomach absolutely sunk, it was awful.
I went everywhere to check but no joy, filed a police report everything, but the bracelet didn't turn up.
I checked online and this has happened to a few people, so after much wrangling back and forth with Tiffany, they sent me a new one. In the end, their customer service was exemplary.
I will be buying a safety catch for this before I wear again.

OH NO! I'm terribly glad that your bracelet was replaced. I have worn mine about a dozen times now, and I haven't had any trouble with the clasp. Maybe I just got lucky. I'll definitely be more aware of the bracelet since folks are having issues. Thanks for the heads up!
