ELEO Jewels presents: Vintage Tiffany & Co. 18kt Gold Rope-Twist Double-Heart Brooch with Diamond A sweet and timeless brooch by Tiffany & Co., formed as two interlocking hearts in twisted rope-work, crafted in solid 18kt yellow gold. A single bright diamond is claw-set at the centre, adding a delicate sparkle to the warm, richly textured gold. Signed by Tiffany & Co., it is a wonderfully wearable piece of designer heritage. About the maker and period: Tiffany & Co. was founded in New York in 1837 and has grown into one of the world's most recognised jewellery houses, famous for its Tiffany Blue box, the 1886 Tiffany Setting that defined the modern diamond solitaire, and its place in popular culture, from Fifth Avenue to "Breakfast at Tiffany's". This brooch is marked "Tiffany & Co 18K" and "Italy". Tiffany gold jewellery stamped "Italy" was made over several decades of the later 20th century. Based on the markings and style, we place this piece in the later 20th century, approximately the 1970s-1990s. This is our own estimate, as no production date is stamped on the piece.
