How Tiffany Return Policy Works

Tiffany accepts returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase, as long as you have the original sales receipt and the product is in perfect, saleable condition. The rules are slightly different depending on what you bought and how much it cost.

Return Rules Based on Purchase Type

  • Items under $75,000: Eligible for refund or exchange within 30 days.
  • Items $75,000 and up: Exchange only within 30 days. No refunds.

Packaging Is Important

Tiffany wants everything back in its original form. That means:

  • Include the jewelry boxes, pouches, and all original packaging.
  • Fragrance must still have its seal stickers intact.
  • Watches must be returned with the same number of links as when purchased, and the warranty card included.

If any part is missing, your return may be denied.

What You Can’t Return

Some things are just final sale. Tiffany won’t take these items back:

  • Engraved, etched, embossed, or otherwise personalized items
  • Altered pieces
  • Limited edition or collaboration merchandise (some items may be ineligible)
  • Anything returned without a receipt
  • Fragrance with broken seals or signs of use
