Tiffany & Co. silver is one of the most counterfeited luxury categories in the world. From bracelets and pendants to flatware, charms, and hollowware, counterfeiters routinely replicate both the designs and the hallmarks. Many fakes look convincing to the untrained eye—using cast marks, shallow laser etching, incorrect fonts, wrong metal weight, and artificially polished surfaces. Online marketplaces are flooded with misrepresented “Tiffany” pieces, making accurate authentication essential.
DJR Expert Guide Series, Vol. 89 — Red Flags: Identifying Fake Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Hallmarks gives you the exact red-flag system used by appraisers and luxury authenticators to distinguish genuine Tiffany hallmarks from cast counterfeits, mis-struck marks, altered pieces, and modern reproductions.
Inside, you’ll learn how experts:
Identify correct Tiffany hallmark fonts, spacing, depth, and strike pressure
Distinguish authentic “TIFFANY & CO.” stamps, “925,” “STERLING,” and designer marks
Detect soft, rounded, or “mushy” cast hallmarks created from molds
Spot shallow, laser-etched counterfeit marks with uniform burn patterns
Evaluate metal weight, sheen, magnet behavior, polish consistency, and construction quality
Recognize incorrect packaging, fake pouches, inaccurate fonts, and mismatched era boxes
Identify counterfeit-prone designer lines (Peretti, Picasso, Gehry, Atlas, Return to Tiffany)
Detect visible casting sprues, rough solder joints, crooked jump rings, and concealed seams
Avoid online scam patterns: blurred hallmark photos, incorrect weights, suspiciously low prices
Volume 89 gives collectors, buyers, resellers, and jewelry enthusiasts a clear, defensible method for spotting fake Tiffany & Co. hallmarks—and avoiding costly mistakes that dominate today’s luxury marketplace.
