Tiffany & Co - The Fashion Icons (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781917259590)

This beautifully illustrated book shares the timeless vision of Tiffany & Co., the legendary jeweller who transformed a small stationery and fancy goods emporium into a global luxury empire.

Charles Lewis Tiffany founded his company in 1837 in New York City, initially selling stationery and fancy goods with partner John B. Young. Operating under the name Tiffany, Young and Ellis, the store gradually shifted its focus to fine jewellery and luxury goods, establishing a distinctly American standard of excellence that rivalled the great European jewellers. His vision crystallized when Tiffany acquired extraordinary jewels from European aristocracy and introduced the Tiffany Setting in 1886 - a revolutionary six-prong diamond engagement ring.

The Tiffany & Co. aesthetic draws inspiration from natural beauty, Art Nouveau movement, classical architecture, and Old Hollywood glamour. Its signature creations - including the Tiffany Setting engagement ring, the Yellow Diamond, elegant silver pieces, and the iconic Tiffany Blue Box - embody a philosophy of superior elegance. From the nature-inspired designs of Jean Schlumberger to the architectural brilliance of Elsa Peretti's collections, Tiffany created a complete world of aspiration.

Today, Tiffany & Co. stands as one of the world's most prestigious brands, representing the pinnacle of American jewellery worldwide. This beautifully presented book traces the brand's evolution from a small fancy goods shop to an international symbol of love and refined living.
