Do all of the DBTY have serial numbers regardless of size? Where is the serial number located and can stores look up the info with the serial number easily?

Also, does Tiffany authenticate things (is it free of charge, what is the process) or are they unwilling to authenticate things like Cartier?

1. Only the larger size stones (.18 cttw and up I believe) have serial/certificate numbers.
2. The numbers are located next to the clasp.
3. The store usually will not be able to verify the number unless the item was purchased within the last 5 years. The item would be sent to the repairs department to get the certification for a cost of $250 (or there about).
4. The store does not authenticate things; however they will clean their platinum/gold pieces for free. If the employee believes it to be real, then they will clean it.

I'm a bit confused. I purchased a DBTY from Tiffany in .37 size and mine has no serial number on it. :confused1:

Does it have a certification number on the back of the Tiffany tag? Usually the diamond has a Certification number and it is listed on the piece as well as engraved into the diamond.

Thanks for the response, it's appreciated.

Mine doesn't have a certification number on the back of the tag, only the usual Tiffany&Co, 750 and Peretti.

I was just looking over on eBay at some of the larger size DBTY necklaces and most of them have no certification number on the back of the tags, either. (Many coming from reputable sellers) That's so odd.

Thanks again for replying.

That really is odd. My .31 DBTY that I bought off Tradesy came with a certificate and the number is on the gold bar next to the clasp. Have you asked Tiffany about it?

Thanks for the response.

I put the gold bar next to the clasp under a magnifier (It's faint and my eyes are getting old LOL) and it does have a 5 digit number etched into it. Sort of like these:

(BTW, I have no affiliation with these sellers)

On a side note, I did see several DBTY necklaces listed with no certification number on the gold bar, as well.

Thanks ladies for the responses. :smile1:

Does anyone here have one that is smaller than 0.18 that HAS a serial number? I see some on ebay listed at 0.12 carats (from japan) that have serial numbers but then I see others that don't have them at less than 0.18 carats.

Just make sure they're authentic. There's a lot of fakes on eBay!!

I agree with Babsiegirl. If you're going to buy from eBay, go to Authenticate4U prior to making a purchase or another authenticating service.
