Tiffany & Co. - Sunglasses

Vintage Tiffany Lunettes sunglasses. The frame features a feminine cat-eye / butterfly silhouette, characterized by elegant lines that sinuously extend upward at the outer corners.
The front is made of precious metal with a bright gold finish. The upper rim of the frame stands out for a sophisticated handcrafted finish with a woven cord-like or ribbed pattern, giving texture and depth to the eyewear. The bridge is thin, linear and slightly curved.
The lenses are in a brown gradient color (darker at the top and gradually lighter toward the bottom), a warm shade that harmonizes perfectly with the gilding of the frame.
The original rigid protective case is included. It is lined with a smooth matte black material and on the right side bears the TIFFANY Lunettes logo in white or silver uppercase letters, accompanied by the characteristic italic font for the word "lunettes".
Gilding: The metal frame undergoes a refined 23-karat gold plating process (23K GOLD PLATED). This vintage treatment gives the glasses a warm, deep shine typical of true precious metals, significantly reducing the risk of oxidation or fading over time.
• Hinges and Components: The joints linking the front and temples are robust, partially hidden, and integrated into the design. They feature high-precision set screws typical of luxury artisanal craftsmanship of the era.
• Temple tips: The end of the temples is coated with a protective glossy black acetate insert. This coating prevents direct contact between the plated metal and the skin, increasing comfort and protecting the plating from sweat and hair products.
In excellent condition. Immediate and insured shipping.

STATE ACQUISTANDO DA STIMA PRO – ITALIA
Competence, transparency, and attention to authenticity are the foundation of our work. Our goal is to offer a mindful purchase, accurate descriptions, and assistance before and after the sale.

The items are subjected to checks pertinent to their nature, with the support of Dr. Erika Barbero, a professional registered with the expert registries of the Court of Cuneo and the Italian Appraisers Board. These registrations concern the professional’s qualification and do not constitute an endorsement of the individual item by the Court or the represented brands.

AUTHENTICITY, CONDITION AND DOCUMENTATION

Condition and authenticity verification are central to our activity. Jewelry in gold and silver, silverware, watches, signed clothing and accessories are examined according to the characteristics of the individual item and the available documentation.

Any certificates or expert reports are provided when expressly indicated in the description or can be requested before bidding, agreeing on availability, content, and any costs. The expert review by Catawiki is separate from our appraisal activity and does not replace an individual certificate.

Description and photographs document the proposed item, its accessories, and the stated condition. For used or vintage items, signs of wear are assessed in relation to the nature, era, and condition of the item. Photos supplement the description without limiting responsibility for inaccurate features or undisclosed defects.

Only accessories and documents expressly indicated are included. The brands cited belong to their respective owners; mentioning them identifies the objects and does not imply affiliation or authorization by the house.

PREPARATION, SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY

Each item is checked, cleaned or sanitized using methods compatible with the materials and its preservation, then carefully packaged.

Shipping is trackable and insured according to the service conditions used. Items may be stored in different warehouses: approximately 7–10 days for delivery, unless otherwise indicated in the order, for special destinations or customs processing times. Shipping will occur within the terms provided by Catawiki and communicated for the order; the estimated delivery time does not constitute an extension of the shipping deadline.

Upon receipt, check the packaging. In case of dents, cuts, openings or breakages, ask the courier to note a specific reservation, if possible. We recommend photographing the package before and after opening and keeping packaging, protections, and label to facilitate any insurance checks.

The absence of a reservation, photos, or packaging does not automatically negate the consumer’s non-derogable rights. For consumer sales, transport risk is governed by Article 63 of the Consumer Code.

ASSISTANCE AND REPORTS

For any clarification or problem, contact us through the order messages on Catawiki, indicating the lot number and describing what you found.

In case of damage, item not as described or missing content, promptly report the issue also to Catawiki support, preferably immediately and in any case within 3 days as required by the platform procedure, to enable the handling of the claim and possible withholding of payment.

This operative term does not imply waiver of the consumer’s rights of withdrawal or any applicable legal guarantee.

CONSUMER WITHDRAWAL

When the buyer acts as a consumer and the legal requirements are met, they may exercise the right of withdrawal without motive within 14 days of receiving the goods, pursuant to Articles 52 et seq. of Legislative Decree 206/2005, subject to the exceptions provided by law.

The decision must be communicated by explicit declaration to the seller, also using the Catawiki procedure. The goods must be returned within 14 days of the withdrawal notification.

For mere reconsideration, the direct cost of return is borne by the buyer, unless otherwise agreed. Amounts due by law, including standard initial delivery costs, will be reimbursed; higher costs for a more expensive delivery chosen by the buyer are not due.

The refund is made without undue delay and within the statutory time limits, with the possibility of suspension until the goods are received or proof of return is provided, in accordance with the applicable regulations. Amounts collected directly by Catawiki are managed through the platform according to the respective competencies, subject to non-derogable rights.

The buyer is responsible for any decrease in value resulting from manipulations beyond those necessary to verify the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the item, within the limits of law.

LEGAL GUARANTEE AND CONFORMITY DEFECTS

In consumer sales, the legal conformity guarantee provided by Articles 128 et seq. of the Consumer Code applies, also for used goods, taking into account prior use and the contractually declared characteristics.

The ordinary duration of liability is two years from delivery. For used goods, any reduction, not less than one year, only applies if validly agreed and permitted by the applicable regime.

In the presence of a defect of conformity, the consumer is entitled to the remedies provided by law: repair or replacement, where practicable, or a reduction in price or termination of the contract when the circumstances apply.

Our commercial preference is to resolve valid disputes by returning the item and a full refund when appropriate, rather than negotiating informal discounts. This preference does not exclude mandatory remedies, including price reductions.

When returns are due to a defect attributable to the seller, the necessary costs are borne by us under the law. Costs for other cancellation hypotheses are determined by the cause of cancellation and the applicable provisions.

RETURNS, REPAIRS AND INTEGRITY OF THE ITEM

Before performing repairs, restorations, adjustments or interventions by third parties, contact us to allow problem verification and agreement on the solution. Unauthorized interventions may alter the original state, compromise checks, and affect liability for damages or defects caused by them.

Automatic reimbursement for interventions commissioned by third parties is not provided. The non-derogable rights of the buyer remain: an unauthorized intervention does not by itself entail loss of protection for defects independent of the intervention.

The returned item must include the accessories and documents received and be protected with appropriate packaging. Please attach the order reference and, if available, a copy of the proof of purchase. The original receipt is not the only admissible means to prove the purchase.

EXTRA-EU SHIPMENTS AND CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS

For destinations outside the European Union, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, China, Taiwan, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, duties, taxes and clearance fees may apply according to the destination and order conditions. Amounts already collected by the platform should not automatically be considered due a second time.

When necessary, tax or identification data may be requested for clearance. The passport number will be requested only if actually required by applicable rules or the carrier’s documented instructions or the competent authority.

We invite buyers to check for import restrictions in advance. For goods subject to special regimes, including CITES or cultural goods, shipping remains subject to the legal possibility of export and import and the documents required.

CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION AND DATA PROTECTION

In remote sale of valuables subject to identification obligations, a valid ID document is requested and identification is performed remotely according to the applicable regulations.

If essential information is missing to comply with a legal obligation, the transaction cannot be completed until regularized. Any cancellation and refund will be managed with Catawiki according to the applicable regulations and conditions, without automatic exclusion of liability.

Personal data will be processed for contractual, tax, customs purposes and for applicable legal obligations, in compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679 and Legislative Decree 196/2003. Only data necessary will be requested, with information on purposes, methods and retention times.

OUR COMMITMENT

Customer trust is built with accurate descriptions, careful checks, and willingness to resolve problems. That is why we invite you to contact us before bidding with any doubts and after delivery for any assistance needs.

These details complement the lot description and Catawiki conditions, without limiting the non-derogable rights recognized to the buyer.
