I'm so sorry this happened to you! What a disappointment. Hopefully, Tiffany's will allow you to exchange/return. Something has to be off with the piece. I do not baby my T silver. I have worn EP rings and necklaces all summer long, without anything like this occurring.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.

It just happened to me for the first time!! I have quite a few pieces of Tiffany silver and it has never happened before.

Call them. They will change it for you I am sure. That's what they did for me and they were wonderful about it. I upgraded my DBTY SS 7 pointer to a platinum 0.14 to ensure no repeat :graucho:.
That is one of the reasons I am happy to spend the premium to buy a Tiffany piece. The customer service, IMHO, is second to none.

(I did have another disaster thought. The day I bought then SS DBTY, I put my SS Mini Lock necklace in the box. So when I returened the DBTY I also sent back my perfectly good Lock necklace:cry:.
They have search for it but to no avail. This is what I want to do to me right now:noggin:

Good luck, be sure to tell us how you get on.

It happens. Silver really tarnishes. When I first wore my silver Tiffany necklace, it became dull few days after.

Buy a polishing cloth. I bought a Connoisseur polishing cloth (for silver and gold) from Tiffany's. It brings back the shine and luster. :smile1:

I have gotten a couple of silver pieces dipped (plated, really, but my jeweler calls it a dip) in rhodium at my jeweler's. It's the same process used for white gold jewelry when it starts to yellow. Cheap, fast, and I've only had to do it once to keep the tarnish away.

I just received my first piece from my fiance for my birthday- a silver Notes initial pendant. I love it!!! :loveeyes: I wear it nearly every day and just love it- 'K' is both of our first initial and will soon be my new last name's first initial, as we are getting married in less than 3 months.

However... there are these dark lines running across the pendant now that kind of remind me of sand lines on the beach. I haven't gotten a Tiffany polishing cloth yet, but is this a normal amount of tarnish for only wearing it for 2 weeks? I am super careful about not spraying perfume near my chest, I don't wear it to workout or when I am sweaty, etc. Is it like reacting with my skin chemistry or something? If this is normal, I'm relieved- I'll just polish it regularly. But if its not, maybe we should return it? This was kind of an expensive piece for us, and I don't want to keep it if this isn't how it normally tarnishes. :cry:

What do ya'll think? Sorry about the chipped nail polish. I know the lines look fuzzy in the pics but they're pretty strong IRL. (And don't mind the pilgrim hat reflection- these were taken at work; I'm a librarian and that is left over from a display last year.)

Take it back. I think some of their "blue bags" which are supposed to stop tarnish, actually cause it. There have been other reports of this over the years here on TpF.

I just returned a piece with the same problem and asked for a new bag, new box and a free polishing cloth. Good luck!

My Tiffanys never tarnishes on me these days, but when I store them away for a significant period of time it does. I have noticed though on people that the infinity and RTT tarnish faster than others.


I've seen people after a week or 2 come in with their piece and Tiffanys cleans it completely free of charge or replaces it because it shouldnt tarnish that quick but for some people it does. bring it back to tiffany.
