Tiffany & Co. accepts most eligible U.S. purchases for return or exchange within 30 days from purchase when the item is in perfect saleable condition and accompanied by the sales receipt and all original packaging. Complimentary return shipping is available. Personalized, altered and engraved items cannot be returned or exchanged. Merchandise priced at $75,000 or more is exchange-only, and gift recipients receive merchandise credit rather than cash.
What is Tiffany & Co.'s return policy?
Tiffany & Co. accepts most eligible U.S. purchases for credit or exchange within 30 days from the purchase date. The merchandise must be in perfect saleable condition, and the return needs the sales receipt plus all original packaging, including jewelry boxes and pouches.
The policy applies only in the country where the item was bought. A U.S. store cannot process an item purchased in another country. Return and exchange shipping is complimentary for eligible items, and Tiffany publishes no standard restocking fee.
The headline rule has important limits. Purchases of $75,000 or more are exchange-only. Personalized, altered or engraved merchandise cannot be returned or exchanged, and certain limited-edition or collaboration items may be refund-ineligible.

| Purchases of $75,000 or more | Exchange only within 30 days |

Can you exchange Tiffany jewelry?
Yes. Eligible Tiffany merchandise can be exchanged within 30 days using the prepaid UPS process, through a client advisor or at any U.S. Tiffany store with the receipt. Complimentary shipping applies to eligible exchanges.
An exchange still requires perfect saleable condition and all original packaging. Personalized, altered and engraved pieces remain ineligible, and limited-edition or collaboration terms may restrict a refund. Product availability can also determine whether the preferred replacement is offered.
For a purchase of $75,000 or more, exchange is the only published return remedy. Plan the replacement with a client advisor before sending or transporting a high-value piece.
What is Tiffany's $75,000 exchange-only rule?
Tiffany states that merchandise priced at $75,000 or more is eligible only for exchange and does not receive a refund. Elsewhere the page says refunds are not issued for purchases above $75,000. Because those two phrases differ at the exact threshold, the safer reading is that an item priced exactly at $75,000 is exchange-only.
The exchange should still be initiated within 30 days of purchase, with the receipt, original packaging and item in perfect saleable condition. The page does not publish a separate longer window for high-value jewelry.
For an engagement ring or other purchase near the threshold, obtain written confirmation of the return treatment before personalizing, resizing or completing the purchase. That is especially important because alteration can independently make the item ineligible.
Can you return engraved or personalized Tiffany items?
No. Tiffany says personalized, altered and engraved items are not eligible for either return or exchange. Engraving a bracelet, pendant or gift can therefore remove both remedies even when the 30-day deadline has not passed.
The policy does not expressly explain whether every resizing performed by Tiffany counts as an alteration. Ask before authorizing a size change, and keep the answer with the sales paperwork. Do not assume complimentary service preserves return eligibility.
Certain limited-edition and collaboration merchandise may also be ineligible for a refund, but the policy does not identify every affected item. Check the product page or have a client advisor confirm the terms before buying.
Do you need the Tiffany box and receipt?
Yes. Tiffany requires the sales receipt and all original packaging for a refund, including the jewelry box and pouch. The product must be in perfect saleable condition. Packaging that seems decorative is therefore part of the return requirements, not merely gift presentation.
Watches need the same number of bracelet links that were included at purchase and the warranty card. Fragrance needs its original packaging, including water-seal stickers, and must remain saleable. Store everything together until the 30-day period has passed.
A practical return kit should include the receipt, outer shipping materials, blue box, pouch, certificates or warranty card, every watch link and any product-specific seal. Photograph the contents before mailing a valuable return.
How do you return a Tiffany online order?
For an online purchase, use Tiffany's returns portal to print the complimentary prepaid label and take the package to UPS. A client advisor can also help begin the return. An eligible online item may instead be taken to any U.S. Tiffany store with the receipt and original form of payment.
The published page does not say whether the package must be postmarked or received by the 30th day, and it does not describe insurance, signature or special handling for high-value shipments. Begin early and ask Tiffany to confirm the correct method when the item is expensive. Confirm that the portal identifies the correct item and order before sealing the parcel.
Using trackable shipping and preserving the acceptance scan is sensible practical protection. Photograph the item's condition, serial or identifying details, and every component placed in the box. Keep those records until the refund or exchange is complete. These precautions should not be confused with published requirements beyond Tiffany's prepaid-label instructions.
How do Tiffany refunds work?
An eligible online or phone purchase paid by card is credited to the original cardholder's account. An in-store card purchase also goes back to the original cardholder, and the store requires the original form of payment and receipt. Tiffany does not publish a processing timetable on the return page.
For an in-store check purchase, Tiffany mails a company check to the original purchaser after the funds clear. Cash purchases over $200 are also refunded by mailed check. The page does not state how long those checks take to arrive.
Do not promise a fixed number of days based on a bank estimate. Keep the store receipt or UPS tracking, and contact Tiffany if the return has arrived but no credit appears after the issuer's normal posting period.
| Purchase type | Refund treatment |
|---|---|
| Online or phone card purchase | Credit to original cardholder's account |
| In-store card purchase | Credit to original cardholder's account |
| In-store check purchase | Company check after funds clear, to original purchaser |
| Cash purchase over $200 | Mailed check |
| Gift recipient | Exchange or nonrefundable merchandise credit |
How do Tiffany gift returns work?
A gift recipient does not receive cash. Tiffany offers an exchange or a nonrefundable merchandise credit usable at U.S. Tiffany stores, on tiffany.com or through client advisors.
The policy does not separately identify the gift deadline, so treat the 30 days as running from the original purchase date unless Tiffany confirms otherwise. That can make early holiday shopping risky when no seasonal extension has been published. A giver should preserve the receipt and avoid engraving until the recipient is certain.
Are there special rules for Tiffany watches and fragrance?
A watch can be returned within the 30-day period only when it includes the same number of links supplied at purchase and its warranty card. Do not discard removed links after bracelet sizing. An alteration can also create a separate eligibility issue, so confirm returnability before changing the watch.
Fragrance must include the original packaging and water-seal stickers and remain in saleable condition. The policy does not describe a relaxed opened-fragrance rule, so preserve the seal if there is any chance of a return.
Can you return Tiffany items bought in another country?
No. Tiffany says refunds and exchanges are available only in the original country of purchase. A piece purchased abroad should be handled through Tiffany in that country, not a U.S. store.
Tiffany also warns that merchandise taken outside the United States may lose access to after-sales service if required duties were not declared and paid. Keep customs documents with the receipt for international travel involving high-value purchases.
What has Tiffany published about holiday or damaged-order returns?
No 2026 holiday extension was published on the U.S. return page when this guide was checked. The page also does not give a separate procedure or deadline for an order that arrives damaged, defective or incorrect.
Use the 30-day rule unless Tiffany supplies order-specific terms, and contact a client advisor immediately about a delivery problem. Preserve the shipping carton, photographs, label and product until Tiffany gives instructions. Do not rely on prior-year holiday dates.
What should you keep for a Tiffany return?
- The sales receipt and original form of payment.
- Every box, pouch and packaging component.
- The warranty card and all original links for a watch.
- Water-seal stickers and packaging for fragrance.
- Written confirmation before engraving, resizing or alteration.
- The returns-portal confirmation and UPS acceptance scan.
- Photographs of a high-value item's condition and packed contents.
