傳奇的美國珠寶商
蒂芙尼在十九世紀末以其創新大膽的設計震撼整個藝術界，他們當時在世界博覽展出了一系列以美國文化遺產為創作概念的珠寶，並只採用國家本土出產的各式寶石，贏得了歐洲同業的一致讚譽。時實上，蒂芙尼是其中一個最先採用鮮艷奪目半寶石的珠寶商，包括坦桑石、彩色剛玉、石榴石、珊瑚和紫鋰輝石等，而紫鋰輝石﹙kunzite﹚更以蒂芙尼寶石專家George Frederick Kunz命名。亦因為如此，當二十年紀初爵士時代來臨之時，時裝的風格一下子變得鮮明開放，大膽的色調配合幾何圖形成為了當時最前衛的設計特色，善於運用色彩的蒂芙尼珠寶大師一下子就設計出擁抱時代精神的精工珠寶，繼續以珍貴的有色寶石為主角，巧妙地加入幾何線條的優美動感，再一次證明品牌在珠寶工藝中非凡超卓的地位。

是次拍賣呈獻一位美國藏家的重要蒂芙尼﹙TIFFANY& CO.﹚珠寶系列，當中包括不少品牌近期作品，以二十年代的經典風格為藍本，精巧的設計突出各種有色寶石的艷麗彩光。此系列不但展示蒂芙尼創作的多樣化，亦見證了品牌所代表的華美浪漫，以及永垂不朽的傳奇。
