[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 229707, member: 2844"]Welcome Ccc. It is lovely! The colour of the silver of your owl looks ok for Tiffany&co. It needs to have a slight greyish tinge, and never rhodium plated or other finishes that make it look 'nice and shiny'. I occasionally come across Tiffany&co jewellery, so I bookmarked this info: [URL]http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-To-Spot-Fake-Tiffany-Jewelry-/10000000001241859/g.html[/URL] An important sentence, which also applies to your little owl is: "[B][I]EVERY[/I][/B] Tiffany piece is stamped with the Tiffany & Co. mark and the metal mark (e.g. Tiffany & Co. 925, or T & Co. 925) Many pieces are stamped with the date the piece was trademarked, the Tiffany logo, and the metal content, in that order (e.g. 2001 Tiffany & Co. 925)." The import marks mean the silver content is what it is marked as, it does not mean it is genuine Tiffany. It would have been marked when it was offered for marking by a seller, so it could be sold as silver in the UK.[/QUOTE]
