5. Tiffany tag bracelets and Tiffany Necklaces are made of 925 sterling silver, and are heavy, if your jewelry feels light in comparison to its size, beware. Also, Tiffany sterling jewelry will photograph dark silver and even gold colored sometimes, not pure silver or silver-white. There are a lot of people out there selling fake Tiffany that's been coated with Rhodium, which gives it a whitish appearance.

For instance, look over to the right of this guide, that's right, take a look. See the items that look overly shiny and have lettering that looks WHITE? Those are what you want to avoid. The lettering on a real piece of Tiffany will look dark, this is an absolute fact.

6. THIS IS NEW - PLEASE READ! Tiffany has just come out with an engraved heart tag lifesaver necklace. For those of you who have read my guide in the past, you will know that this used to be a RED FLAG for fake tiffany, but not any more! So you're going to have to be more vigilant. First, the engraved heart tag necklaces WILL NOT have 925 at the bottom, it will be at the very top of the bail, and it will be small. The top part of these tags will have a large loop for the chain to go through. The older lifesaver tag necklaces will not be engraved. NO MATTER WHAT, IT WILL ALWAYS BE MARKED ON THE BACK. So ask for photos of the back of the tag to be sure.

7. The engraving on your return to Tiffany Bracelets should be completely and totally sharp and clear to read. Also, Tiffany uses a very thin font, if the font on your piece is wide, or ff it's unclear or looks sub-par, (ALL TOGETHER NOW) IT'S NOT TIFFANY!!

8. This is my best advice: If you're not certain, check the website tiffany jewellry and co Shop, compare what the person is selling to what's on the website! Does it look the same? You will save yourself a lot of doubt, worry and money if you just take the time to go to the website. It's very easy to navigate and you can see close ups of the items.

9. Make sure the photo is of the actual item, don't be fooled by a photo lifted from the Tiffany website.

10. There are many items engraved with "please return to tiffany", and you will need to go to website to check what you see on ebay against the real deal. Go to "collections" at the top of the page and click on "return to tiffany."

11. Be suspicious of any seller who states in their auction that they don't want questions about the authenticity of their item. Any decent seller who wants to make a sale will welcome questions. If their auction tells you not to ask questions, they probably have something to hide. Make sure there are close ups of the item. If not, ask for close up photos to be sent to you.
