Tiffany & Co. available today
Tiffany is the clearest example of retail markup in the whole trade. The blue box carries a premium that does not survive the walk out of the store, which is bad news once and good news every time after.
Buying it second hand is where the value is. The piece is identical, the hallmark is identical, and the price is a different conversation entirely.
What we look at on a Tiffany & Co..
The hallmark itself
Depth, spacing and font. Genuine stamps are crisp and evenly struck. Fakes are usually shallow, crowded, or slightly wrong in the letterforms.
Metal marks that agree
Sterling reads 925, platinum reads PT950, gold reads 750 or 585. The mark has to match what the piece actually tests as, and we test it.
Designer signatures
Peretti, Picasso and Schlumberger pieces carry their designer's name alongside the house mark. A missing signature on a design that should have one is a problem.
If you have a Tiffany & Co. piece and you are not sure what it is, bring it to 907 Sixth Ave. We will tell you either way, free, whether or not you want to sell it.
Straight, not flattering.
- The designer lines hold best. Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso resell well above plain silver from the same era.
- Plain sterling is the weakest. It is beautiful and it is common, and common is what sets the price.
- Original pouches and boxes help a little here, nothing like as much as papers do on a watch.

The ones I get asked.
- Do you buy Tiffany & Co. jewelry?
- Yes. Bring it to 907 6th Ave for a free evaluation, or send photos first. There is no obligation to sell.
- How can I tell if my Tiffany is real?
- The hallmark is the fastest tell: depth, spacing and letterforms, alongside a metal mark that matches what the piece actually tests as. Bring it in and we will tell you either way, free.
- Why is second hand Tiffany so much cheaper than the store?
- Because the boutique price includes a retail markup that does not survive resale. The piece and the hallmark are the same. Only the price changes.
