TIFFANY & CO. A name synonymous with glamour and luxury, Tiffany & Co. was founded in 1837. In 1867, the company achieved international recognition at the Paris World’s fair. They were awarded the grand prize for silver craftsmanship, a first for an American design house to be so honoured by a foreign jury. Henceforth, it became America’s premier silversmith and purveyor of jewels and timepieces. In 1878, the company’s prestige reached a new level when it acquired one of the world’s largest and finest fancy yellow diamonds. Named the Tiffany Diamond, the diamond was cut from 287.42 carats to 128.54 carats with 82 facets. The high gave the stone its legendary fire and brilliance, becoming an exemplar of Tiffany craftsmanship. Nowadays, luminaries around the world seek Tiffany’s sophistication and elegance. Whether it’s in films, magazines, or on the red carpet, Tiffany pieces display spectacular beauty. Their legendary jewellery pieces are timeless.
