Finding genuine  Tiffany Co Jewellery online can be tricky business.  I’ve recently taken a great deal of time researching ebayers selling Tiffany & Co jewelry and have come to discover that the vast majority of it is fake.   Unless a seller is a verified buyer and seller of  Tiffany Jewellery, beware of sellers who are auctioning off multiple Tiffany’s items, particularly 5 or more at any given time.  A really helpful trick to revealing fake Tiffany’s jewelry if you are initially suspicious is to watch a seller over the course of an auction period.  For example, on the surface they may appear to only be selling 1 pair of  ”Loving Hearts” earrings so buyers think they are authentic - that the seller only has one pair to auction off, thus increasing the bidding.  However, as soon as that auction closes, the seller immediately lists the same item again using the same picture.  This is misleading for several reasons. 1- because that means you are never seeing a true photo of the actual item your getting and 2- how many sellers (again, unless they are verified dealers) are going to have more than 1 or 2 of the same authentic items? Answer:  Next to none.  Sellers that are continuously auctioning off a variety of Tiffany’s pieces generally get their pieces from well crafted replica makers. Important:  Know that even some of the Tiffany’s pieces that are stamped and signed can still be fake.  I have recently come across a seller who claimed that all of the Tiffany items that they were selling were purchased by a “friend” who had a Tiffany & Co employee discount.  Now honestly think about this for a moment:  What person, even with a Tiffany & Co discount would buy 50 different pieces of Tiffany’s jewelry, in some cases 6 or 7 of the same piece, and then auction them off for $24.95?  When it comes down to it, it simply doesn’t add up.  Genuine Tiffany’s items Tiffany Necklaces usually come from the independent seller, ebay consigner, or estate auctioner.  There is no such thing as a “Tiffany Outlet.” Tiffany does not have sales. Remember again that Tiffany & Co is one of the world’s most reknowned jewelers.  There’s is no such things as as Tiffany’s wholesale Tiffany Bracelets.  Also keep in mind that the most replicated Tiffany jewelry is sterling silver.  It’s cheap and much more cost-effective to replicate.  You are going to be hard pressed to find stamped 18k gold replicas.  If someone is going to buy gold, they are usually going to go for the real thing to begin with.  Additionally, beware of sellers that misspell Tiffany’s artists names:  For example:  Elsa Peretti could be spelled Elsa Pereti or Elsa Pearetti.  These are things that let sellers get off on technicalities.  Look for the subtle details.  Just because a seller promises that their Tiffany’s items come with the signature pouch, box, care card and bag doesn’t make them real.  You will often find people selling the bags and pouches at online auctions like Ebay, many times in bulk, which is ideal for someone selling large quantities of replicas.  Also helpful in spotting fakes:  Many of the replicas are done with a platinum rhodium finish.  Even for the high quality and luster of Tiffany’s jewelry, a platinum rhodium finish has a too-good-to-be-real finish and brilliance and I’ve found it to be a tinge whiter than genuine sterling silver.
