1837–1853: The Beginnings
Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young opened a “stationery and fancy goods emporium” on Broadway in 1837. The quality of their products quickly attracted New York’s elite. In 1853, the firm officially became Tiffany & Co., focusing solely on fine jewelry and precious objects.

1879–1886: Stones and Innovation
In 1879, Tiffany acquired the famed 128.54-carat Tiffany Yellow Diamond, still displayed in the 57th Street flagship. In 1886, the Maison revolutionized engagement rings with the Tiffany Setting, a six-prong design that elevates the diamond to optimize its brilliance—a timeless icon ever since.

1920–1960: Golden Age of Creation
In the 20th century, Tiffany introduced innovations like the Atlas watch, key and lock bracelets, and colorful pavé gem designs. Expanding globally to Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, Tiffany became a leader in high jewelry worldwide.

• Keys & Locks: Pendants and bracelets symbolizing affection and freedom, in gold or pavé diamonds

• Atlas: Cuff bracelets with open Roman numerals, inspired by the iconic clock on the New York flagship

• T & Co. Schlumberger: Organic, coral-like forms—an unmistakable Schlumberger signature

• Tiffany HardWear: Chunky 1970s-inspired links that evoke the brand’s urban and rebellious edge

Recent additions to the Tiffany fine jewelry collections include:

• Schlumberger Workshop: Architecturally inspired, combining curves and angles

• Tiffany T1: Bold, graphic necklaces and cuffs celebrating the iconic T initial

• HardWear Mesh: A softer, mesh interpretation of the HardWear line—industrial yet refined

Tiffany collaborates with stars who embody its elegance and boldness:

• Audrey Hepburn, eternal ambassador through Breakfast at Tiffany’s

• Lady Gaga, regularly seen with the legendary Tiffany Yellow Diamond

• Elle Fanning and Anya Taylor-Joy, modern muses on red carpets worldwide
