How to Purchase Authentic Tiffany Silver Jewelry

I detest all of the fake Tiffany items I see on okay. It is very difficult for people who are not tiffany experts to spot fakes, but trust me about 80% is fake. Many popular counterfit styles are the return to tiffany necklaces and bracelets, as well as the toggle heart neccklace.I have purchased thousands of dollars of tiffany jewelry, I sell some to buy new things, and I have became and expert as to how to determine authenticity.The silver is not super super white shiny, if it is it might be fake.Ask the seller if they offer a money back guarantee of authenticity.Make sure every link is soldered smoothly with no seams, fakes have seams.If you put a flame to real tiffany jewelry it tarnishes but you can wipe it off, on fakes it just warps the fake metal.Count the links on the product on the tiffany website and count the links on the item on okay, they should be the same, if not ask why,The lettering should be straight not crooked as it is on fakes.Ask the seller if they purchased the item originally at Tiffany and ask they how they know it is real.If you get a standoffish rude response or the seller is defensive, it might be fake, what are they hiding?
