Tiffany. Real or dud?

[BC1969]

Is there any surefire way to know if a Tiffany piece is actually a Tiffany piece?
Does this stamp look legit?

Hard to say from just one pic, but I'll go with fake. The logo should be centered, that looks like it is closer on the right side. The letters all run together, and no spacing at all between Tiffany, the ampersand, and Co.

I’m gonna say real. That is the inside stamp of the mesh bracelet I’m guessing. It’s called Somerset. I’ve run across a couple of rings as well as a bracelet in that pattern. And sometimes they didn’t have the full mark, but “T&C” and Tiffany authenticated them when I got them polished and cleaned. I could be wrong, but I would think it’s real. If you have a Tiffany store nearby, you can get it authenticated by asking them to clean and polish it. If they say they cannot, it is their way of saying it is fake. I’ve been to my store enough that they will simply tell me if a piece is real or not. And show me why it’s fake.

Yeah, it is the somerset bangle. Got the whole set so cheap with boxes and bags that I figured it must be fake.

It's real silver. Rhodium plated. I found that out this morning. The rhodium makes it look different.
I guess that higher quality jewelry is rhodium plated for durability.

I say real. The bag is authentic as well. And when I sell Tiffany, I get it polished at the store and ask for a pouch and bag. But I KEEP the boxes to sell with a really good piece in the future. Tiffany only gives out the box with original purchase. So they are hard to come by. You can even sell them separately on eBay.

Yes, the bag is definitely real. That's why I said it's hard to judge from just one pic. Even that photo was hard to judge, it doesn't show the whole tag.

When I get home, I will take pics of all of it.

That’s ok. I always say if I can find good gold or silver for pennies on the dollar and my wife likes it, take it!! I don’t always feel that I have to resell if it’s something that one of us wants. That’s a damn fine Tiffany score that she can keep for years to come. And later on down the road it’ll be worth even more.
