Hi Everyone,
I have a quick question, has anyone tried to replace the ball at the end of their Tiffany heart tag key chain because it's fallen off? I went to Yorkdale today (I'm in Canada) to get a replacement and they are now charging $25 for the ball. I go through about 4 of these balls a year because they never stay on I'm a little shocked at how much it'll cost me now to replace the ball. I could just buy a new key chain. Has anyone found a way to keep it screwed on so it doesn't fall off?
Thanks so much!

I would complain to the supervisor. Usually its not until you stand firm on this issue that they will do something. Tiffany always always always waives fees if you ask..persistently lol. I was able to get them to send me a replacement charm because of the defective split ring charm holder I got. They didn't even see the ring because I called on the phone but I had the reciepts to show when I bought what. And whenever I drop off things to clean I always hear customers negiotating fees.
I had my ball fall off once, and when I came back to see what to do, they gave me a free ball. I was surprised, but there is one SA there that always hooks me up.
I would suggest that you get some Lock-Tite for your ball. That will help keep it on. Also, have someone with strong hands and forearms ( i use my SO's strength haha) to really tightly screw it on. I found that when he put some muscle into it, it wouldn't fall off (but whenever I screwed it back on, it would!).

That's gorgeous!! I wanted this key for Christmas but my boyfriend got me the twisted heart key instead. Is that the smaller size? I saw it in store and it looked much smaller. Looks great on you! Enjoy

Thanks! It is the smaller key. I thought it looked fairly small until I tried it on. I'm fairly petite (5 feet tall) so I feel like proportionally it worked well. I love some of the larger designs (the fleur de lis!) but when I tried them on they were just too big and not a look I felt like I could pull off no matter how many other petite women I see wearing them well.
I did a search and found some info on Cartier rose gold turning yellow, but I need info on Tiffany rose gold. Has anyone noticed their Tiffany rose gold turning yellow? My rose gold key is as yellow as my yellow god jewelry and I've only had it for a few years. I've always had very good experiences with Tiffany customer service and I plan on contacting them. I just wondered if anyone had a similar experience?
That is so odd!!! I know the rg from Tiffany and Cartier are very subtle pink but I wouldn't think the color fades!!! It really kinda baffles me because its not like white gold which is plated right?? Anyway, Good luck, I hope everything works out
is it possible it has oxidized a bit? rose gold can do this at times. have you tried cleaning it in an ultrasonic to rid it of any exterior grunge?

Not so odd I guess. I have read other threads about rose gold fading. Here is a link from Rolex addressing the fading of rose gold:

I'm sure that I've worn my Tiffany Key in the pool (although I don't swim much) and I wonder if that had something to do with it? I realize that the pink color is subtle, but I had my rose gold key necklace in a jewelry box next to a yellow gold necklace and I honestly couldn't see a color difference between the two. I'll call Tiffany and update later.
No, I keep my jewelry clean. I actually own a small ultrasonic cleaner just for that purpose.
I bought the rose gold and diamond blossom key a few months ago and returned it because the chain was more rose gold than the key, i.e. the key looked gold. I don't know what that was about but do tell us what happened.
