Diamond necklaces, subtle elegance

Building on the legacy of its founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, dubbed "the king of diamonds," the brand is also known for democratizing the wearing of the eternal stone. Subtle, delicate, "constant companions," the diamond necklaces of Tiffany & Co revisit the House's iconic motifs, from the Tiffany Victoria flower corolla to the joyous Tiffany Keys, via the Tiffany T or Atlas X circle. Not to mention, it goes without saying, Elsa Peretti's must-have Diamonds by the Yard collection, combinations of chains and stones mounted in closed settings that revolutionized jewelry design in the 1970s. At Tiffany & Co, the diamond is democratized, worn day and night, layered with other types of necklaces and other styles. It comes to paver a key pendant in gold, delicately illuminating the Lynn pendant, which is one of the most famous creations of Jean Schlumberger, the brand's first legendary designer. It adorns the letters and motifs of Paloma Picasso's urban-inspired Graffiti Necklaces, as well as the more delicate flowers of Tiffany Paper Flowers. But Tiffany & Co is also the jeweler to whom we owe the discovery and highlighting of precious and colorful gems, and among them tanzanite, kunzite or tsavorite. The stones have logically inspired the House's designers, from Elsa Peretti's green jade sphere necklace or mesh and emerald evening necklace to Paloma Picasso's hexagonal pendants or barrettes, adorned with blue topaz, citrines, rubellites, tsavorites or amethysts.

Characterful necklaces, emblems of Tiffany & Co

While stone has always held a special place in Tiffany & Co creations, some designs stand on their own. The brand calls them its "character necklaces". Among the most representative, the Scorpion, the Snake and the Claw imagined by Elsa Peretti, as well as her necklace to tie whose flexible silver or gold mesh follows the contours of the body. These necklaces with character are also the Circle Rope choker, made of gold threads braided to form the cord motif by Jean Schlumberger, or, in a more contemporary vein, the sleek lines of Tiffany T with intertwined letters and a faceted finish. In keeping with the times, the New York House is still banking on the rebellious and slightly subversive spirit of the Tiffany City HardWear collection, without denying the romantic - yet industrial - inspirations of the pieces in the Tiffany Paper Flowers collection. These necklaces are rather voluminous and generous, but the brand is more likely to rely on graphics and minimalism to invite women to stack the necklaces. To do this, not too much is needed on each piece, and this is precisely the spirit of pendants like Open Heart (another iconic creation by Elsa Peretti) or 1837, the date of Tiffany & Co's founding engraved on its nameplate.
