LEGENDARY AMERICAN JEWELER
Tiffany & Co. took the world by storm in the late nineteenth century with their bold and innovative designs, boasting American heritage in their themes and use of materials and gemstones originating from the country, subsequently earning them unprecedented reputation and praise among their European counterparts. Indeed, Tiffany & Co. was one of the firsts to experiment with exuberant colours in the art of jewelleries, employing an extensive array of semiprecious stones, such as tanzanites, sapphires, garnets, coral, and kunzites, which is named after their gem specialist, George Frederick Kunz. It was no wonder when the Jazz Age shocked the fashion world with its fresh and liberated styles in the 1920s, calling for outlandish hues matched with sleek geometries, Tiffany & Co. once again proved itself a premier jeweler by placing exemplifying colours at center stage, while staying true to the era’s spirit with intelligent play of geometrical lines and graceful curves.
To be offered is an enchanting collection of Tiffany & Co. jewellery, featuring some of the brand’s more recent works in 1920s-revival style, set with exquisite gemstones in carefully structured designs. The wide spectrum of this collection demonstrates Tiffany’s diversity in its creation, as well as the brand’s unmistakable elegance that is forever resonant and eternally modern.
