Hey everyone! I thought it would be fun to showcase our retired Tiffany designs. Many of us have been collecting for years and have seen some of our favorite collections come and go. Let us share our pieces and give our opinions if Tiffany should bring them back. I'll, of course, go first:.

1. Dogwood-. I really miss seeing a variety of pieces in this collection. The design was detailed and so girly.

2. The Light Blue Sapphire - Of course Tiffany has many sapphire pieces but this particular shade of blue they used in several collections and I haven't seen in a while. The piece pictured is from the Star Collection.

3. Open Heart in Various Gemstones-. I know the Open Heart has been carved many times in different stones. However this particular Jade piece is about the size of a quarter. It came on an 18k gold chain. I still regret not buying the Lapis version as well.

4. Multi- Open Heart Necklace -. Why did Tiffany ever stop producing this design. I particularly loved the version with pearls in between. Alas I will have to look on the secondary market to add the Pearl one. This necklace is the 3 Heart in 18k.

Hi I recently purchased this bracelet for extremely cheap (it was Tiffanys so of course I couldn't pass it up) I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what it might be worth?

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!

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!

I love the penguin! Is it very heavy? I am a huge penguin collector so need to find one of these cuties.

Its about 5 grams but it doesn't feel heavy around my neck at all! Its one of the cutest pieces I own. Check ebay, they have a few (maybe 5 or so) listed on there that the markings and pictures check out on. If you have any questions when you find one about authenticity message me and I'll be happy to share with you what the lady who authenticated mine told me!

There has to be more retired Tiffany out there. I’ve gotten interested in some of the older necklace designs. This one doesn’t have a specific name that I’m aware of - if you know, please share. It’s a double chain with knots. Each knot is beautifully tied and there’s movement between the knots and within each chain. And each chain is made of multiple strands of connected links. I believe this is called a wheat or spiga type of chain but I’ve never seen it doubled like this. IMG_6463.jpeg

I love this necklace. It has an organic flowy element like some Elsa Peretti or Carolina Bucci pieces. I have never seen this design before

Thank you! It isn’t a signed piece by a specific designer but it is vintage. It reminds me of the Elsa Peretti mesh necklace and also of the various knots Tiffany has done. I am going to keep looking for older pieces as it’s fun to search for designs that have stood the test of time.
