Tiffany & Co.

America’s original purveyor of important jewels and design.

“I’m just crazy about Tiffany’s!” exclaimed Holly Golightly, played by Audrey Hepburn in 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Influential women, from Mary Todd Lincoln and Jacqueline Kennedy to Kerry Washington and Lady Gaga, agree. It all started in 1837, when Charles Lewis Tiffany opened a fancy goods store in New York City. By the early 1850s, he had a store in Paris and had gained international acclaim for extraordinary diamonds. In 1886, he introduced the Tiffany Setting, the six-prong diamond ring known as the quintessential expression of love. Tiffany gained a reputation on par with the European jewelry houses, shining through the Art Deco, Retro, and mid-century eras to the current day with jewels of outstanding design and craftsmanship.
