Authentic Tiffany & Co. Jewellery

[sadiak31]

Hi guys,

So I've been using ebay for a while now (on my other account "miinahful") and I can't believe how many fake tiffany items are being sold on here. it's so difficult to spot the difference, but I've got a few hints that should help you decide if the item you're bidding for is authentic or not.

• Look at the packaging. If it comes in original Tiffany bags/pouches/boxes, look at them carefully. In particular, look at the white "Tiffany &Co." card. An authentic tiffany card does NOT say "care of sterling silver" on it.
  
  
• If it comes in a box, look carefully at the box. If the picture is clear enough, you should be able to see the surface of the box. It should have tiny 'T's embellished into it. Ask the seller to look at it. The tiffany box should not be smooth!
  
  
• Check for the Tiffany stamp. Ask the seller if there is anything engraved on the back of the earrings, and on the back stops of the earrings. Tiffany like to leave their hallmark on every piece of their jewellery, everywhere. if there is a detachable piece on the item that is not marked with tiffany, then it is almost certainly fake.
  
  Always remember to ask the seller if the item is authentic. Don't take the answer "not sure if it's authentic" as an answer. Ask them to locate the authenticity markers on the jewellery. If they're not cooperative, then don't waste your time and report the item for being fake.

I've had a number of experiences with fake tiffany. most of the sellers were happy to refund, but i've had nasty sellers get angry that i refused to pay after realising it was fake. i understand on their part, so make sure you ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING/BIDDING!!!!!!!

I hope this helps anyone looking to buy jewellery online 🙂
