I’ve got a ‘Tiffany’ necklace that looks right but I don’t trust it enough to try to sell it. I may follow my own advice and put it on the Tiffany...
I’ve been quite restrained for a while but I caved and bought a job lot of vintage jewellery on eBay as it had some interesting bits in it...
I’m so wary of Tiffany, one day I’ll find the real thing and walk away from it. So many fakes it’s ridiculous. I hope for you they are the real...
