Tiffany & Co, the art of stones and color
It's impossible to single out one or even two
Tiffany & Co rings, so rich is the House's catalog of creations. The jewel has inspired its greatest designers and has represented the New York House worldwide since 1886: it is to her that we owe, in fact, the
engagement ring with its solitaire diamond such as it still seals eternal loves today, Tiffany Setting.
But since
Tiffany & Co indeed built its reputation on diamonds and many other precious gems that its founders unveiled to the jewelry world, a tour of the rings might start with jewelry sporting
colored stones. Thus the Elsa Peretti Cabochon rings in 18-karat yellow gold and green jade, 925/1000th silver and blue chalcedony or smoky quartz or the
hexagonal rings Paloma's Studio. Created by Paloma Picasso, they feature a novel design and are displayed in yellow gold and green tourmaline, blue topaz or amethyst.
The stone remains one of the fundamentals of Tiffany & Co's jewelry codes, in mini format as with the Tiffany Paper Flower firefly ring or imposing with the
Love Bugs Return to Tiffany rings - which also boldly combine silver and rose gold.
The
diamond obviously has its place in the Tiffany & Co collections. Coming to illuminate a sleek ring, paver an iconic Tiffany T or reveal the brilliance of a cocktail ring. The eternal stone is part of the brand's fundamentals and can still be found surrounded by the rope pattern of the Rope ring, imagined by the House's first designer, Jean Schlumberger, in the 1950s.
Three designers and iconic collections
To see clearly in the various collections of
Tiffany and Co rings, it is indeed often necessary to refer to its iconic creators that were Jean Schlumberger, Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso.
Elsa Peretti, for example, has imagined from the 1970s jewelry all in roundness and sensuality. Examples include the
Wave rings, Full Heart or Diamonds by the Yard. With Paloma Picasso, it's New York street art that invites itself into the Tiffany & Co collections, with the messages of
Paloma's Graffiti. The invitation to travel also includes Morocco, where the olive groves on her property inspired Paloma Picasso's Olive Leaf jewelry, including elegantly carved gold leaf rings, a tribute to the olive branch and its symbolism.
Choosing a Tiffany & Co ring can also be simply opting for one of the emblematic collections signed by the House:
Tiffany Keys to represent joy and hope, Tiffany T and its initial adorned with diamonds, turquoise or mother-of-pearl, or even Tiffany City HardWear - more recent - and its freshwater cultured pearls. Not to mention the timeless
Return to Tiffany collection, its iconic engraving on a silver ring, a heart plate or a signet ring with the same motif.
