A signed Tiffany piece is worth far more than its weight in metal. A Return to Tiffany heart tag, a Tiffany T bangle or an Elsa Peretti design should never be scrapped. We verify the signature and hallmarks, identify the design line, and assess the brand premium separately from the metal and any diamonds — offering whichever is higher.
Free insured postage. Written valuation. Paid in 72 hours.
The short answer
To sell Tiffany & Co jewellery in the UK, have the signature verified and the design line identified rather than accepting a scrap weight. Genuine pieces are stamped "Tiffany & Co" with the metal standard (925, 750 or PT950) and, on designer lines, a name such as Elsa Peretti or Paloma Picasso — and carry a brand premium well above the metal. Fair Vintage assesses the brand premium and the metal-and-diamond value separately, offers whichever is higher, and pays by bank transfer within 72 hours, with free insured postage both ways.
We buy Tiffany & Co jewellery across the silver, gold, platinum and diamond lines — from a single signed pendant to an inherited collection. The signature is the starting point of the valuation, and the design line, metal, condition and any diamonds build from there. If you have Tiffany silverware, a photograph frame or a hollowware piece rather than jewellery, tell us and we will point you to the right service.
The heart-tag bracelets, pendants, chains and key pieces stamped "Please Return to Tiffany & Co New York". One of the most recognised and saleable lines. Valued on the piece, the metal (usually sterling silver or 18ct gold) and condition of the engraving.
The modern T wire bangles, rings and pendants, and the Hardwear link and ball designs. Popular contemporary lines in silver, gold and rose gold, some set with diamonds. Assessed on line, metal and condition.
Open Heart, Bean, Bone cuff, Diamonds by the Yard and Teardrop designs. Signed "Elsa Peretti" alongside the Tiffany mark. Iconic and highly saleable; the cuffs and Diamonds by the Yard pieces in particular carry a strong premium.
Paloma Picasso's Loving Heart, Olive Leaf and graffiti designs, and the collectable Jean Schlumberger pieces. Designer signatures add materially to value; Schlumberger in particular is sought after.
Solitaires in the Tiffany Setting, diamond line bracelets, Victoria and Soleste pieces. Valued on the brand, the diamonds and the mount together, with any Tiffany certificate supporting the figure.
The 1837 line, Atlas numeral designs, and older estate Tiffany jewellery. Earlier and discontinued pieces can be desirable to collectors. We identify the line from the signature and design and value accordingly.
Genuine or a copy? Tiffany is one of the most counterfeited jewellery brands, so verification matters. Genuine pieces carry a crisp "Tiffany & Co" signature, the correct metal standard (925, 750 or PT950) and, on designer lines, the designer's name. We check the signature, marks, weight and construction. If you are unsure, send close-up photographs of the stamp and clasp before posting.
Three things drive the figure: the design line, the materials, and condition. A recognised line such as Return to Tiffany or an Elsa Peretti design carries a brand premium in its own right. The metal — sterling silver, 18ct gold, or platinum — sets a floor, and any diamonds are graded and valued on top. Original packaging and papers help but are not essential. We assess the brand premium and the intrinsic metal-and-stone value separately, then offer whichever is higher, and we explain both in a written valuation. For diamond pieces, see our diamond ring service; for a general overview, our jewellery valuation page explains the process.
The blue box, pouch and any receipts or certificates add to desirability and can lift an offer, especially on higher-value diamond items — send whatever you still have. On condition, avoid harsh polishing: it wears the engraving and can blur the signature that proves authenticity. Light tarnish on silver is normal and expected. Our guide to selling inherited jewellery covers what to gather before you sell.
Signature verified, design line identified, brand premium and metal-and-diamond value assessed separately, and the higher figure offered. Free insured postage both ways. No obligation — we return your jewellery free if you decline.

Genuine Tiffany is signed — usually "Tiffany & Co" with the metal standard (925, 750 or PT950) and, on designer lines, the designer's name such as "Elsa Peretti". The engraving is crisp and precisely positioned. Counterfeits are common, so we verify the signature, metal marks, weight and construction. If unsure, email close-up photographs of the marks and clasp before you post.
Is my Tiffany jewellery worth more than its metal value?
Almost always, yes — that is the point of a Tiffany piece. A signed Return to Tiffany bracelet, a Tiffany T bangle or an Elsa Peretti Open Heart should never be scrapped. The brand, design line, condition and any diamonds carry value well above the metal. We assess the brand premium and the metal value separately and offer whichever is higher.
Do you need the Tiffany box, pouch and receipt?
They help but are not essential. The blue box, pouch, papers and receipt add to desirability and can lift the offer, particularly on diamond items. If you no longer have them the piece is still very saleable — the signature and the jewellery itself are what we value first. Send whatever original packaging you have.
Do you buy Tiffany diamond and engagement pieces?
Yes. Tiffany diamond jewellery — solitaires in the Tiffany Setting, diamond line bracelets, pendants and Victoria pieces — is assessed on the brand, the diamonds and the mount together. A Tiffany certificate or grading report supports the valuation. Do not remove stones or alter the piece; send it intact.
Should I clean or polish my Tiffany jewellery before selling?
No aggressive cleaning. A light wipe is fine, but harsh polishing wears the engraving, rounds crisp edges and blurs the signatures that prove authenticity. On silver, light tarnish is normal. Leave the piece as it is and let our specialists assess it — honest condition is preferred to an over-polished surface.
How much is Tiffany jewellery worth second hand in the UK?
It depends on the line, metal, presence of diamonds and condition. Silver pieces such as Return to Tiffany or the 1837 line hold a clear brand premium over plain silver; gold and platinum diamond pieces are valued considerably higher. We verify the signature, identify the line and provide a written valuation explaining both the brand premium and the underlying value.
Do you buy discontinued or vintage Tiffany lines?
Yes, and they are often the most interesting pieces. Discontinued designs such as older Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso work, early Return to Tiffany, Atlas, and estate Tiffany from earlier decades appeal strongly to collectors. Jean Schlumberger in particular commands high prices. We identify the line and era from the signature, marks and design, and value discontinued items on rarity and demand as well as metal.
Do you buy Tiffany jewellery that is engraved with initials or a message?
Yes. A personal engraving on a Return to Tiffany tag or the inside of a band has only a modest effect on value — light engraving can usually be polished out during refurbishment. The Tiffany signature and design remain the main value drivers. Send the piece with the engraving intact; do not attempt to remove it yourself, as amateur work can damage the surface and the maker's marks.
Can you sell a single Tiffany earring or a broken piece?
Yes. A single signed earring, a broken chain or a bracelet with a faulty clasp is still worth sending — the signature keeps a brand value even when incomplete, and many faults are repairable. Do not attempt a repair before selling, as non-original work can reduce value. Send it as it is and we assess it fairly rather than at a scrap rate.
Do you buy Tiffany jewellery inherited through probate or an estate?
Regularly. Inherited Tiffany pieces and estate collections are welcome, and we provide clear written valuations suitable for executors as well as purchase offers. We itemise each piece separately, never rush a family decision, and return anything you keep free of charge. Where several beneficiaries are involved, an independent written figure gives everyone an evidenced basis to divide or sell.
Will I pay Capital Gains Tax when I sell Tiffany jewellery?
Jewellery is a personal possession, so Capital Gains Tax can apply if a single item sells for more than the £6,000 chattels threshold and shows a gain over what you paid or its probate value. Most silver Tiffany pieces fall well under the threshold; a high-value diamond item might not. We are not tax advisers — for anything substantial or inherited, confirm your position with HMRC guidance or an accountant. We provide the written sale figures you need.
How are Tiffany pieces valued, and when am I paid?
Request a free, fully insured postage pack, send your Tiffany jewellery to our specialists, and receive a written valuation explaining the figure. If you accept, payment is by bank transfer within 72 hours — and we pay a 3% penalty if we miss that guarantee. If you decline, we return the piece free by insured post. Postage is covered both ways and insured up to £5,000, so there is no cost or risk in getting a figure.
