On Memorial Day

Thank you to our men and women in uniform.

“Ev’ry heart beats true ‘neath the Red, White and Blue” -George M. Cohan

This beautiful gem-set representation of the American Flag was created by Tiffany  & Company.

One of the greatest names in the history of American Jewelry manufacturing, began as a stationery and fancy good store in 1837. Within ten years, it had expanded to include jewelry and silver items. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, Tiffany & Co. was at the international forefront of design and gemology, thanks to men like Paulding Farnham and George Fredrick Kunz.  The company’s reputation was established for good with the designs of Louis Comfort Tiffany. His enamel jewelry, but also his silver and lamp designs are  still highly regarded and sought after by collectors and scholars worldwide. From the second half of the 19th century through today, Tiffany & Co. continues to be the home of design icons: Jean Schlumberger, Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso and Fank Ghery, to name a few.

Look for future briefs that delve deeper into some of the storied  designs of  Tiffany & Company.
