Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co. is an American luxury jewelry house defined by a minimalist and elegant aesthetic. It represents a subculture of high-society refinement and classic craftsmanship. The brand’s ethos centers on timeless design, famously symbolized by its signature robin’s-egg blue color and sterling silver collections.

Fashion History

Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young founded the company in 1837 as a stationery and fancy goods store in New York City. It gained international prominence for its 1845 Blue Book and the 1886 introduction of the six-prong diamond setting. The brand’s cultural significance was solidified through its association with mid-century cinema and high-profile gemstone acquisitions. It remains a historical benchmark for American jewelry design and standardized silver purity levels.
