Tiffany amethyst and pearl bracelet

[cheech]

I may have an opportunity to pick up a Tiffany amethyst and pearl bracelet I was wondering if anybody knows if they ever made a style like it or is it something that somebody might’ve made by using Tiffany links it’s a four strand bracelet I cannot find any thing that resembles it on the Internet

This one has me stumped. If it is Tiffany I wonder if it’s a vintage piece

Not to be the bearer of bad news... and I am not 100% on it.

But IMO this is not "real".

PS... Don't feel bad... 95% of Tiffany out there is fake IMO... prolly the most faked name out there.

I have found 100 plus pieces of it over the years... only 3 were real.

Do you have a picture of the hallmark?

Do you have a picture of the hallmark?

Here’s a picture of the markings leaning towards being a fake Tiffany

 

[Beachkid23]

Same unfortunately. Looks stamped afterwards. They usually have a copy-write hallmark too

I would get it acid tested at least. Bad news, as AARC said, most “found” Tiffany is fake. But yours looks at least like is silver. That is rare for fake Tiffany pieces. I have a local Tiffany store I take my pieces to to get authenticated and they have been very helpful.

Thanks everyone just gonna leave it where it’s at

I would agree with everyone that it is fake. Tiffany is notorious for their precision like markings. Nothing half faded and exact spacing.

Such a bad fake I am surprised it is spelled correctly!

Questionable but a nice looking piece

The bad thing is, I called Tiffany one time to get something authenicated and they said it would cost like $200 dollars for the research and authentication. That was a while ago and I'm not sure if thats a standard price or if there is a percentage of value in there. Unless you are sure you have a winner, the juice just is not worth it. Cool find though Paul

The authentication cost is for them to research an item and provide authentication paperwork and history that would possibly be from the 1950s and earlier. Their vintage pieces at least. To authenticate anything from the 70s or 80s to now, you just stop in a lox’s Tiffany store and ask for a cleaning/polishing. If they look at the price and decline the cleaning, it’s a fake.
