For over 170 years now, Tiffany & Co has been creating some of the world’s most stylish and elegant high quality jewellery and silverware. The company was founded in New York in 1937 by Charles Tiffany and Teddy Young and soon they were creating designs for the most celebrated individuals of the time, names like the Astors, Vanderbilts and Morgans. Their jewellery was highly sought after and became very fashionable amongst the theatre and sports celebrities of the day.
In the late 1800’s Charles Tiffany became especially famous for creating his amazing diamond designs, so much so that he was dubbed “The King of Diamonds” by the New York press. Tiffany further cemented this reputation by purchasing the French Crown Jewels in 1887, an audacious move which led to the company becoming recognised as the world’s foremost authority on fine diamonds - a reputation which lasts to this day. Today, the world-famous 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond is on permanent display in the New York flagship store-proof positive of Tiffany’s diamond legacy.
