UPDATE: I have since sold the new piece as that thin prong did actually bend A LOT because it was so weak. I am disappointed in Tiffany & Co. for cutting corners.
I really wanted one for Christmas this year but I don’t want to spend so much for things to bend. Looks like they’re trying to avoid raising prices! Oh well saved me some money lol thanks x
I returned my new Tiffany toggle necklace because I felt exactly the same way! Although I agree they look stunning and so much more elegant, the new version for some reason feel a lot lighter in weight, more delicate and brittle for daily wear I'm afraid it'll snap off! I'm happy with my older thicker toggle necklace, and feel safer with my lobster clasp bracelet. Great comparison video by the way, nobody talks about this!! xxx
I’m glad you did what you felt was right and I don’t blame you for returning it! I since have sold these pieces and will probably rebuy later and have to think about which toggle I’ll be going to buy...thanks for sharing your experience and glad you enjoyed the video! 🌺
Good job I love this review! I was wondering what the differences would be between the two. I applaud your attention to detail and informing us potential buyers! Thank you ❤
I dropped my bracelet at Tiffany’s to have my clasp repaired. They sent it to New York. When I picked it up the sales person commented how extra shiny it looked. When I held it I noticed it felt lighter. When I got home and compared the links to the matching necklace I noticed that the links no longer match! they switched my bracelet and gave me one that weighs less.
I had my Tiffany chain bracelet repaired the heart had fallen off..when got back its noticeable lighter..im so disappointed...my original was 18 yrs old...big difference!!!!😢
That’s horrible I’m so sorry :-( there is another woman in the comments who said that happened to her too. It’s very concerning. I will never have my jewellery repaired at Tiffany, it’s cheaper and safer to hire a local jeweller!
I've definitely preferred the older version but I couldn't put my finger on why until I watched this. The new version was clearly much cheaper to make!
Patricia Fraga Yes! I lost mine because of that and had to get the new one with the new toggle.. not a fan. Take it in to Tiffany and they put a protective little chain just Incase it does fall you won’t loose it.
I found a beautiful Please Return to Sender heart bracelet on eBay, but the Tiffany & Co. 925 stamp isn't on the back. The seller says it's because it's an older version. Is this true? They didn't always stamp the back of the hearts? I need to buy in time for Christmas!
this was a very helpful video, thank you! it's a shame that these subtle changes have lead to a decline in quality. i'm looking into getting a vintage toggle heart necklace (from the 60s!) and i want to ask - do you think the toggle is secure enough for daily wear? i want to never take it off as i love the design, but i fear that the toggle may randomly unclasp!
Hi Sophie! Thank you for your message and I’m glad you found my video helpful. So there are mixed opinions about the vintage bracelet, some say it fell off easily because the donut was too rounded which caused the bar to slip out however if you get the chain tightened, you shouldn’t have this problem as it’s only prone to happening if there is too much room around your wrist which therefore allows the chain to have room to undo itself if that makes sense. I think the bracelet is definitely strong enough for everyday wear they are definitely built with higher craftsmanship just as long as it’s not too loose then it should be fine. Please keep me posted! Take care. Xx
I have one set of authentic Tiffany and Co. toggle necklace and a bracelet. I never wear it because I’m so scared if it accidentally broke I love them though. They are so expensive I was waiting for you to yell at the dog I was like oh my God she has a lot of patience.😂
My pug was 17 when this video was made and has now passed. He couldn’t walk at the time so he wanted attention, he was a big sweetheart and would never yell at him. Glad you enjoy your Tiffany pieces!
@@idylledoll I didn’t mean yell at him In a hurtful way, I am so so sorry for your loss animals hold a special place in my heart I know exactly what it’s like to lose them as well, he had the cutest name and I am truly sorry if I hurt you by saying that because I def did not mean to💔
Thank you for your kindness, no you didn’t hurt me but I appreciate your comment and happy you love animals too! This was him: ua-cam.com/video/h_ooKARcDo8/v-deo.html
What year did you get the original? I’m doing research because I think they changed my chain when I got it cleaned because it feels lighter. I remember mine used to be heavy
Do you know of Tiffany doing some type of scam where they switch the chains when you have it cleaned? Because I just picked mine up today, and it feels so much lighter. Mine is also 2007. I’ve had it since I was 13. I wear so often that I know how heavy it is on my neck. I honestly can’t stop crying because I know how my necklace feels
O My gosh I would be crying too! And no doubt they might have done it, remember older models had more solid silver, it’s such a shame , this is why I stick with old school cleaning method some dawn and warm water or baking soda and aluminum works like a charm and no harsh chemicals involved nor shady stuff happening when you go to jewelers.
Mikhaela Magpantay that’s absolutely dreadful :-( I’m so sorry this happened to you. If I were you I would write to corporate as that is a serious issue!
@@Dawnrebah just make sure you’re buying from the legit Tiffany site, there only one and it’s guaranteed legit. As long as you’re not buying from one of the many fake sites then you’re good.
@@idylledoll yes I will buy directly from tiff and co as to get authentic. But I really want the strength of the older versions- if I knew one was really really authentic I would buy the older not new one
I have have many toggle style bracelets and NEVER had one fall off. I only had my Return to Tiffany bracelet for 5 months, worn less than 10 times because EVERYTIME I wore it it fell off....the last time I did it feel or hear it. Money down the drain and hurt boyfriend that purchased it from Tiffany’s!
I got the toggle bracelet without the heart a few months ago. Now I am thinking I want the heart. Does anyone know if tiffany's can add the heart with a fee or would I have to purchase a new toggle bracelet with the heart attached? Love the video with the comparisons, thanks for sharing.
I would never go to Tiffany for alterations, they charge extortionate fees and take many weeks. Buy the heart separately on eBay and take it to a local jeweller who will charge you a very cheap price that’s what I did. I have another video on my bracelet.
I had one of these for christmas and it landed on the floor after less than an hour of wear. Luckily I heard it go as it was a hard floor. This morning I woke up and found it in my bed. This comes off way too easily and I am concerned about losing it. Has anyone else had this issue? I am womdering if there is a special way to place the toggle through. Thanks.
I lost mine after wearing it twice. So sad.😥 I don't think it was too big. I think something is wonky with the toggle. I bought this one because it was easy to put on without assistance but i guess be careful what you ask for.
Thanks, for the info.!!!! I, am 65yrs.old, & love this stuff.!!! I, found a Tiffany Outlet Store, 80%off, & 70%off, & hoping to order, & hoping, it is not fake.!!!! What, is ur response, on this?????
There is no such thing as a Tiffany outlet store and the websites that claim to be are definitely fake. Best to hire authenticators and buy from Ebay or Poshmark.
idylle♡doll Thanks,!!!! I, was really getting my hopes up to buy.!!!!! Now; I guess I just need to save, & buy from, "T."!!!! Tell, me more about, authinicators.!!!!!
It looks cheap! , in my opinion old school is so much better, more silver more handcraft and sturdiness in all more quality, now a days you get less quality les silver but higher price 😡$$$ what a shame , and yes best believe that bracelet will break sooner than you think 💭 and what sucks the most is that Tiffany’s don’t care .
I was at a Tiffany's store today 7/24/2015...and discussed the differences between the new model vs. old model. She said that the newer "flat" lifesaver/doughnut was designed to be flat because they found that the flatter version helped the bar portion lay better on it thereby making it more secure and aid in less chances of it coming loose and off. Makes sense I guess? The thicker Lifesaver is gorgeous but I can see that it might roll more thereby more chance of slippage? However, when I pointed out the link that holds the ACTUAL Lifesaver...well, when you examine the two different models...the older one is much thicker and the newer one is way too thin for comfort. I'd fear it breaking off, too. Btw, the Tiffany saleslady was stumped on that one.
Lollllll thanks so much for sharing! I do like the newer lifesaver but of course she couldn't admit they've cut corners on the tiny link that holds it! Thankfully mine is still holding up ;)
UPDATE: I have since sold the new piece as that thin prong did actually bend A LOT because it was so weak. I am disappointed in Tiffany & Co. for cutting corners.
What does the stamp/makers mark look like on the heart of the older bracelet?!?
I really wanted one for Christmas this year but I don’t want to spend so much for things to bend. Looks like they’re trying to avoid raising prices! Oh well saved me some money lol thanks x
Tiffany has cut corners also.gives you less silver...not good
I brought my wife a silver chain to pass inside the bracelet just as a back up. It was then added to the link and hoop just in case anything snapped.
I returned my new Tiffany toggle necklace because I felt exactly the same way! Although I agree they look stunning and so much more elegant, the new version for some reason feel a lot lighter in weight, more delicate and brittle for daily wear I'm afraid it'll snap off! I'm happy with my older thicker toggle necklace, and feel safer with my lobster clasp bracelet. Great comparison video by the way, nobody talks about this!! xxx

Now it is more like “Return it to Tiffany”………

Omg that’s TERRIBLE and I’m so sorry this happened to you. Will you file an official complaint?
That's even more of a reason to not buy from these crooks.
Thank you for sharing this information ❤Rich company cutting corners😢
I was considering buying this but now I’m not sure anymore 😅☹️
I am sorry but at the same time it's best you know the facts before you decide to buy.
Don't

I have the older version and I totally love it. It looks expensive and solid. The new one is really too thin.
Glad you enjoyed the original models! Yes, I agree with you.
I just bought a 20 year old Tiffany heart tag toggle on ebay. Fingers crossed.
Best of luck! Keep me posted how it turned out!
Most are fake on all these websites.
Haver you experience your bracelet out of a sudden falls from your wrist?its happening pretty often to me.
Patricia Fraga hi there. Personally no I’ve not experienced that. The new style is designed to not do that.
Patricia Fraga Yes! I lost mine because of that and had to get the new one with the new toggle.. not a fan. Take it in to Tiffany and they put a protective little chain just Incase it does fall you won’t loose it.
Please can you tell me.Did the old toggle have 925 written on the underside in the cut out bit. HARD to explain but I hope you know what i mean.
Thank you for this. I will just keep my old one.
Smart choice!!!

This is very helpful, thank you. Do you know if the same changes have been made to the necklace?
You "love" my comment. Thank you. Do you know the answer to the question?
Barbara Joyce Brooks sorry for the delay! Yes they’ve also made the changes to the necklace as the toggle pieces have changed.

Mikha Magpantay the newer models are lighter than the older ones. Old one was from 2007. They’re cutting corners now! :-(

Hi! What size is your new toggle heart bracelet? Love it!
Hello there, it's the smallest size available which is a medium as apparently small doesn't exist. Have a lovely day x
Are they both authentic?
I would not buy anything but authentic so yes.
what year did they make changes of the heart shape?
I like the old one better
Me too!
Every company cheaps out over time. Disgraceful!
So true :(
Wish I could find an old one for sale I’m afraid to get a fake one buying off tiff site

Thank you very much!
@@idylledoll I purchased today my 1st tiffany bracelet
What year is the older one from? xx
I am not sure but guessing late 90s-early 2000’s.

Seriously they have become a huge disappointment in terms of both quality and design.
i have this before but i lost it, i like it so much.
So sorry to hear that! I miss the pieces I've sold but at least Tiffany is mass produced and we can always find the pieces on ebay etc.
Hmm... are they pure 925 stainless steel?
They are 925 is sterling silver, 925 is the purity for silver not stainless steel! No Tiffany jewellery is ever made of steel.
@@idylledoll ah ic. Good that's why cost so expensive
It's a rip off. Way overpriced for a silver necklace.
The intro music was really nice
Thanks a lot! ☺️

Can you tell if a Tiffany Bracelet is real from a picture?
If there are enough photos of the details then yes.
idylle♡doll how do I attach a photo here?
Does the older one feel heavier than the newer?
Mikha Magpantay older one was definitely heavier as it was thicker!
Hi do authentic tiffanys with links like this ever show solder lines?
Luvthatgrlbunnie ever so slight ones but completely soldered. Fakes tend to not be soldered.
@@idylledoll thank you so much for answering! Yay I believe mine is real then. Soldered means silver completely blended right?
Luvthatgrlbunnie yes! Like you can’t pull them apart.
Thank you!
Can you post modelling shots of both?

Anyone else notice the bug crawling over the box? 😅 3:05
Yes! Wonder what it was
I didn't even notice during filming! It was the summer and we live around a lot of woods so it's to be expected. How creepy :-)
Do you think I can ask them to thicken the attachment for me?
I wouldn’t do it at Tiffany unless you wanna be ripped off, go to a local jeweller for that.
Hey, we have a new video up and we would love if you could comment who you would like to see us roast next!

What a liar. No they are skimping on their jewlery. Man I really don't like Tiffany's anymore the more I look into them.
