When Charles Lewis Tiffany opened his first store in 1837 in New York, selling "fancy items" imported from Paris, he could not have imagined the glamorous visions that his name would evoke around the world. Tiffany & Co. has grown from a modest gift supplier to a world-renowned byword for luxury and romance, exquisite and rare gemstones, joyful objects of love, and an inimitable blend of tradition and modernity. Tiffany is a name that resonates across generations and cultures, part of the fabric of social and cultural history, an American institution gifted to the world, an emporium of escape, a repository of dreams.

During its 185 years, Tiffany & Co. continued to evolve creatively, embracing artistic and cultural influences, finding exciting ways to renew its rich heritage. Since the 1950s, Tiffany has relied on designers who have become iconic names, from Jean Schlumberger to Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso, ensuring that Tiffany remains dynamic and relevant for every generation. The company’s design dynamism honours and perpetuates the pioneer spirit of its founder.

Today, Tiffany continues to bring fantasy to its annual fine jewelry collections, while reaching out to new generations through original collections that offer a personal expression, so much part of the original concept of Charles Lewis Tiffany. The rhythm continues, the pulse of New York and creativity, the quest for modernity and originality intertwined with respect for Tiffany’s great heritage.

Conceived as the catalogue accompanying the exhibition Vision and Virtuosity at the Saatchi Gallery in London, this Assouline volume, available in Icon and Ultimate editions, sums up all the romanticism and heritage of this world-famous American icon, highlighting Tiffany’s creative inspirations, wit advertisements and shop windows, Blue Book jewelry collections and diamond expertise, as well as the stories behind the blue box, the classic film Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the fabulous Tiffany yellow diamond.
