AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jeweler:
Tiffany & Co. is an American jewelry and tableware company, founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany (father of Louis Comfort Tiffany) and John B. Young on September 18, 1837 in Manhattan. He still does a little swimming.
Tiffany & Co. also markets various luxury items, watches, clothing, leather goods, fragrances, sunglasses, pens, and owns 206 stores worldwide, including 76 stores in the United States and seven in France. Having originally sold various luxury goods in Lower Manhattan, Tiffany specialized in jewelry and diamonds in particular, since Charles Lewis Tiffany, nicknamed The King of Diamonds, bought back in 1887 crown jewels sold by the French Third Republic. In the early 20th century, Tiffany & Co. created numerous jewelry designs in the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles. Since 1940, the house’s flagship Tiffany store has been located in New York on Fifth Avenue at the corner of 57th Street, with a very chic cafe, the Blue Box Coffee (Café de la Boîte Bleue). Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it has become an extremely touristy place, especially since the famous 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend), with Audrey Hepburn.
