How to Spot a Fake Tiffany & Co. Necklace

Check the links. If you have a true Tiffany & Co. necklace, the links will be solid and smooth. You will not be able to see where the links have been soldered together. There will be no gaps in the links. A fake might ave gaps or seams on the links.

Scope out the shine. All Tiffany & Co. silver products are sterling silver. They are not silver plated or any other metal. If a necklace reacts to a magnet, it is a fake because silver is not magnetic. Also, if the metal is overly shiny, it is not sterling silver and not a true Tiffany & Co. product.

Look for the logo. Every piece of Tiffany & Co. jewelry will show the company's logo in the metal. If there is no logo, it's a fake. If a necklace has a chain with a pendant on it, you should be able to find the logo stamped on both pieces. The clasp of the necklace will also be stamped with a "925" at the base (indicating sterling silver).
