hobbies and interests jewelry makingHow can you tell if a Tiffany bracelet is real?
Authentic Tiffany jewelry will always be markedwith a fineness mark (aka “purity mark” and sometimesmistakenly called a “hallmark”). For sterling silverpieces the purity mark will be either “925” or“Sterling”, the latter being more common on vintagepieces. The content of the piece will be 92.5% silver.
In respect to this, do all Tiffany bracelets have hallmarks?
Each and every piece of jewelry is stamped withthe Tiffany & Co. mark and the mark of the metal. Someexamples include Tiffany & Co. 925, or T & Co. 925.Some pieces may be marked with date of the trademark as well.Tiffany tag bracelets are made of .925 sterlingsilver.
