Using Tiffany on Etsy: Trademark Guide for Sellers

High Risk

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Tiffany & Co. is famous for aggressively protecting its brand name, the Tiffany Blue color (trademarked), and its distinctive jewelry designs. Even referencing "Tiffany blue" as a color in listings can trigger enforcement.

What You Can Do

  • Sell authentic pre-owned Tiffany items with proof of authenticity
  • Use "Tiffany" in tags when selling genuine or compatible products
  • Describe items as "compatible with" or "fits" Tiffany products
  • Provide repair, alteration, or cleaning services for authentic items

What You Cannot Do

  • Use the Tiffany name or logo on handmade or custom products without a license
  • Create "inspired by" or "dupe" items that reference Tiffany in titles or tags
  • Use Tiffany imagery, patterns, or trade dress in product photos or designs
  • Claim or imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by Tiffany

Safe Alternatives

  • Use generic descriptive terms (e.g., "luxury-style", "designer-inspired look") without naming the brand
  • Create original designs in a similar aesthetic without referencing Tiffany
  • Focus on materials, techniques, and style descriptions rather than brand names
