My husband just bought me a retired Tiffany key that isn't very old, to my knowledge (Oval, sterling silver, small size) for an early Valentines Day present and I'm in love! It's my first Tiffany and Co. piece and I wear it every day.
I recently purchased a sterling silver Penguin pendant with an 18 in. chain that should arrive 2/5/2018. It's from Tiffany's 1993 fall/winter Wildlife collection & I couldn't find much info on it until I had the pictures I had of it looked at by a professional Tiffany and Co. pre-loved/used dealer. She inspected the pictures and looked in her Tiffany Blue Book- which is how I found out what little info I have. I'll include pictures of my key and my penguin!
If anyone has anymore info on the penguin pendant please share!

I love that cute penguin.
I was thinking of looking for one.
He’s just adorable.
Please post modeling pics .... !

There are some listed on eBay that I’ve found that seem authentic by the pictures. Definitely jump on it if you want one!! I paid $229 for him including shipping and he’s adorable and totally worth it. Since the piece is 25 years old it has value that will increase (as it’s already pretty rare & hard-ish to come by.)
I got it in Monday and it’s lovely! Gave it a good polish even though it didn’t seem very tarnished and it looks brand new.
Here’s a few pictures I snapped just now on my neck so they aren’t very quality! I can take more if you’d like or want more detail since you’re thinking of buying one!

Here’s another two with my Tiffany key pushed to the side! You can see the penguin a bit better as far as his little eyes. If you’re really interested in getting one I’ll take some nice ones with more focus and detail. @efleon

The inside is another good way to authenticate! Older Tiffany pieces are unfinished or unpolished, so it almost feels rough (to a degree, not super rough)
I love it!! Tiffy it is he is so round and smooth I catch myself rubbing it when I wear it. Please jump on it if you really want one! I can link you to some fairly priced listings I found in looking for info!
Sounds like it’s the name of the collection. This is the description/story of the collection on Tiffany’s website.
“Inspired by archival Tiffany designs from the 1940s through 2003, this collection’s whimsical assortment of gifts is perfect for the person who has (almost) everything..”
they retired my favorite gold bracelet from the1837collect as well as the pendant.
Almost all the gold is gone from 1837 :/

Guys I have to share this steal I got with you all. It’s the Elsa Peretti snake pendant in 18k gold that I found on poshmark, but purchased through eBay because they take less percentage of the sellers profit. Details for $1,175 on Tiffany’s website, bought for $545. I’m honestly shocked. The girl was very nice and was in the position that she needed money for school, so she let it go for less than half price.

Paloma Picasso loving heart bracelet in 18K gold. I have the matching earrings. I wear them around Valentine’s Day every year... I think I got them in the early 2000s. One of my favourite designs - I don’t like the new ones as much.
