Iconic vintage Tiffany necklaces

If you’re looking to invest in a piece of fashion history, here are some of the most iconic Tiffany collections:

Tiffany Signature X

Representing love, commitment, and kisses, the Signature X motif from Tiffany is an enduring motif in Tiffany’s jewellery designs. It is simplistic but elegant and can now be seen across a range of designs. A Tiffany Signature X necklace is composed of many X motifs. The design is iconic enough to be worn on its own, but its simplicity and elegance make it stackable and versatile.

As such a recognisable motif, the Signature X is a beloved collection in the Tiffany design house and makes for a beautiful romantic gift, too.

Paloma Picasso

Joining Tiffany in 1980, Paloma Picasso, a renowned designer in her own right and the daughter of Pablo Picasso has drawn inspiration from nature, bold shapes, and expressive forms to create a range of stunning Tiffany necklaces.

From fluid daisy flowers studded with diamonds to the Villa Palm leaf motif to the Olive leaf, Paloma Picasso Tiffany necklaces take inspiration from nature across the world and offer a stylish interpretation of some of our favourite plants. The fluid lines and bold use of colour with gemstones make for beautiful vintage pieces that are bound to catch the eye and may be the perfect way to commemorate holidays or travel.

Tiffany Garden Collection

Another popular collection of Tiffany necklaces is the Garden collection, designed to capture the intricacies and delicacy of flora and fauna; the Garden collection features beautiful necklaces with motifs that showcase the beauty of the natural world. When buying a vintage Tiffany Garden necklace, expect to find intricate floral patterns and petal designs, often sparkling with diamonds and colourful gemstones.

The Garden collection also draws upon leaf and vine patterns that symbolise strength, growth, renewal, and the interconnectedness of our worlds. The collection also features butterflies and insects, with precious gemstones representing the colourful beauty of butterflies.

Tiffany Hearts

Whether it’s the famous Tiffany Heart Bow, the graffiti hearts designed by Paloma Picasso, the Heart Padlocks, Elsa Peretti’s bold fluid hearts or the Paper Hearts, Tiffany offers a range of vintage heart pendants in styles to suit every personality.

Love is a key theme in Tiffany designs, making a vintage heart-shaped necklace a beautiful gift for a loved one. A vintage necklace often allows you to acquire one of the most coveted designs in Tiffany’s history, and some of these vintage designs may only have limited runs, making the jewellery incredibly rare and just that bit more special.

How to find a genuine vintage Tiffany necklace

Understandably, authenticating a vintage Tiffany necklace can be more challenging than walking out of a Tiffany store with one of its iconic Tiffany blue bags. However, vintage pieces can offer something truly special and very rare, so how can you ensure a Tiffany necklace is genuine and authentic?

Tiffany stamp

All Tiffany necklaces will have incredibly precise engravings. This includes the Tiffany & Co. hallmark and an engraving for the metal type. This could be 750 for 18k gold and PT950 for platinum.

Quality

Tiffany jewellery is known for its quality and craftsmanship. Clasps and fastenings should function smoothly, stones set well, and the finish should be smooth and symmetrical. This is why vintage jewellery can be an excellent investment, as pieces remain in great condition for many years.
