Tiffany, jewellery becomes art
Creations by Elsa Peretti
Thirty new works of art for the British Museum of London: there are jewels and house ornaments designed exclusively by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. that become part of the design collection of the museum. Works of art that you can admire and wear, since they will be sold in the brand’s boutiques all over the world, including those in Milan, Rome, Florence and Bologna.
Lacquered bracelets born from exploring the traditional handcraftsmanship, such as the Urushi (Japanese word that means “lacquer”), a complex process including seventy passages of natural lacquer on Japanese wood carved and sculpted. From this art derive also the bangles in 24k gold, and black or red lacquer.
The classical heart shape becomes fluid and light in the Open Heart Pendant, while the silver Bottle Pendant is inspired by 1960s Portofino. The women who visited the city were amazing, wrapped in their Pucci silk dresses, each holding a gardenia in their hand. Thus, Elsa Peretti found a way to wear her gardenia, holding it on the waste: a small silver bottle to put on the neck.
