History Lesson on Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany & Co. started in New York City in 1837. Two young entrepreneurs named Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young opened a stationary and fancy goods store that welcomed socialites, heads of state and collectors, according to the their website. Mr. Tiffany made headlines for purchasing the French crown jewels, forever associating the name “Tiffany” with luxury and fine jewelry. Today, although the brand has stores all over the world, its headquarters are still at the site of the original shop on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th St. in Manhattan.
The Tiffany engagement ring setting, which first sold in 1886, made Tiffany & Co. a household name. The Tiffany setting was the first setting to use prongs to hold a diamond, instead of the traditional bezel setting, which left only the top of the diamond visible. This setting also optimized a diamonds’ sparkle. Because the Tiffany setting exposed more of the diamond, it allows more light enter through many facets. This then, increases the rings’ brilliance and shine. Even today, the Tiffany setting remains the world’s most popular style of engagement ring.
Tiffany also set the standard for the quality of metal used for its designs. The company was the first American company to use the British silver standard, which is 92% pure and one of the highest purity ratings worldwide. The booming economy in the 1850s created a huge demand for silverware — a challenge Tiffany rose to meet. The Tiffany silver studio won top awards in the 19th century, and established Tiffany as the master of American silver design.
Today, Tiffany & Co. is an extremely versatile brand. It looks just as good on the red carpet as it does in the office and is one of the best gifts for her. The company is also known for its exquisite window displays, especially around the holiday season.
