tiffany platinum horseshoe necklace - online authentication?

[zeusthegreatest]

hi guys, i am hoping someone knows if any company provide tiffany jewelery authentication? similar to chanel bags etc. i normally authenticate preloved signed jewelery via http://forum.purseblog.com/the-jewelry-box/,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but with this particular tiffany platinum horseshoe necklace the authenticator there never saw this particular markings, it appears tiffany has 3 diff ones for the same platinum horseshoe, i guess made thru-out diff years...mine has signs on the side of the pendant, while other type have a plate on the back in the middle bottom part of the pendant,and some have it on the back but on the side. so i have tried to look for online authentication and found my poupette offering it, they even replied to my original inquiry and advised they can authenticate it. its been weeks now since my request, they are not answering my request and i dont know whats going on with them. the necklace looks totally tiffany to me and feels it too when compared to other tiffany items i have. i bought it off ebay from an individual seller who assured me it was bought from tiffany direct and offered money back guarantee. i guess i need that double assurance and dont mind paying to authenticate it. do you know if anyone offers it? i dont really need to extend it or clean it or do anything with it, i was advised to take it to tiffany for a service as they would not take anything non-tiffany. but i have no reason to go there and its not close to me. i cannot even ask them for insurance purpose evaluation as this item is currently offered and has a published price, thou i also heard tiffany no longer provides evaluation for insurance. so i would appreciate if u know where i can authenticate it online. i took all the required photos. jsut attaching some as its not letting me attach all. thank you in advance!

If you're not sure, I'd return it instead of investing any further time or money trying to authenticate it. Tiffany doesn't authenticate their pieces anymore for anyone other than the original owner, and maybe not even for the original owner. Which is stupid, but I guess their poor brand-value-retention way to force people to buy new.

I really think there is a lot more worry with Tiffany sterling pieces being copied than platinum, personally. If the price is right and you love it, then keep it and consider it real. I wouldn't buy it to try to resell at a profit, though, since you cannot prove authenticity. I have bought Tiffany pieces second hand in 18k white gold and platinum.

Re: tiffany platinum horseshoe necklace - online authenticat

tell me about it.... i love tiffany and horseshoe.. so i since bought their white gold metro horseshoe.. too cute!!! unfortunately i cannot wear them layered together, the platinum one is the one needing more "attention" and needs to be on its own, while the white gold one is very lay-able. here r some photos of both to see the size diff and layed.

That looks to be the real deal, according to the markings on my recently acquired version. Some pics to take the wondering away:

P.S. It looks fabulous on you!
