Ways Of Spoting Fake Tiffany & Co Jewelry

Here are seven steps to teach you how to spot tiffany jewelry.Hope it’s useful.
1.Look at the seller.  Note how many Tiffany & Co items they are selling at any one time and if there are multiples of the same item.  Beware of a seller offering a ring in multiple sizes and asking you to specify your preference during payment.  That’s usually a dead giveaway. 
2.Ask questions:  Don’t be afraid to send the seller questions like “Is this the actual picture of the item I will receive?” or “Do you have a close-up of the T&Co signature and engravement on the item that you can send me?”  Be weary of sellers that use stock photos from the T&Co web site without any other supporting photos.  Also keep in mind sellers that say “I don’t take pictures of my actual items because I prefer not to handle them.”
3.COMPARE, COMPARE, COMPARE!!!  Go to the Tiffany’s web site and view their picture of the item you are interested in and compare it to the one being sold.
4.Look for overly polished bright finishes that would indicate a platinum rhodium finish.
5.All Tiffany’s jewelry is stamped and marked somewhere on every piece.  Compare the markings on the piece being sold to make sure they match the pictures on the Tiffany’s web site.  Or if you can’t find a signature to compare it to there, call a Tiffany’s retailer and ask them what the markings should look like and where they should be located.  Do not be fooled by someone who says that they have an authentic’unsigned’ Tiffany & Co piece of jewelry.’
6.Keep in mind that you run a greater risk of purchasing a replica if you are buying sterling silver.
7.If it sounds too good to be true, then know that it probably is.
