Tiffany & Co: history of a legendary house
When it comes to the world of luxury and fine jewellery, Tiffany & Co is an instant icon. Founded in New York in 1837, the brand has become a global benchmark thanks to its refined style, exceptional diamonds and legendary blue jewellery box. A look back at the history of a legendary house that has left its mark on contemporary jewellery.
The beginnings of Tiffany & Co: a stationery company turned jewellery empire
Tiffany & Co was founded in 1837 as Tiffany, Young and Ellis by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young. Originally specialising in stationery and luxury goods, the company distinguished itself from its earliest years by its innovative approach to commerce: fixed prices, carefully selected products and impeccable aesthetics.
Charles Lewis Tiffany was quick to recognise the growing popularity of jewellery and precious stones. In 1853, he bought out his partners and gave the company the name we know today: Tiffany & Co. He turned it into a company entirely dedicated to jewellery, imposing his vision of American refinement.
Emblematic creations and exceptional expertise
Tiffany & Co quickly became known for its elegant jewellery, quality diamonds and innovations. In 1886, the company revolutionised the engagement ring by introducing the Tiffany SettingA six-claw setting that raises the diamond to better capture the light. This model was to become a world reference.
The company is also renowned for creating unique pieces for world exhibitions, official commissions and works of jewellery art signed by famous designers such as Jean Schlumberger and Elsa Peretti.
Tiffany & Co: the icons
The Tiffany® Setting ring
Created by Charles Lewis Tiffany, the engagement ring Tiffany Setting revolutionises diamond setting. With its six claws that raise the stone, it maximises the light and sublimates the brilliance of the diamond. This refined design has become a timeless classic, and remains one of the world's most coveted models.
The Tiffany T collection
Launched in 2014, Tiffany T embodies modernity and strength through a graphic design centred on the brand's emblematic letter. Its pure lines, often in gold or paved with diamonds, symbolise energy, connection and self-assertion. Today, it is one of Tiffany & Co.'s most recognisable collections.
The cultural imprint of Tiffany & Co
Tiffany & Co is not just a luxury brand: it is a cultural icon. The film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961) starring Audrey Hepburn played a major role in building its glamorous, timeless image. The "Blue Box" - the brand's signature blue case - also became a symbol recognised the world over.
And still today, Tiffany & Co remains a benchmark for jewellery and responsibility. The brand is committed to sustainable practices, with exemplary traceability of its diamonds and increasing use of recycled gold. In 2021, its acquisition by the LVMH group marks a new stage in its international development, while preserving its heritage.
The story of Tiffany & Co is that of a visionary company that has evolved without ever losing its soul. Combining tradition, innovation and elegance, it continues to seduce generations of enthusiasts around the world. Whether you're looking for an engagement ring, an exceptional necklace or a second-hand vintage piece, Tiffany & Co embodies the essence of exceptional jewellery.
