Brief History of Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co. was founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in New York City and is one of the world’s most iconic luxury jewelry brands. Originally established as a stationery and fancy goods emporium under the name Tiffany, Young & Ellis, the store quickly became known for its focus on high-quality craftsmanship and unique products. Today Tiffany & Co is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, innovation in jewelry design, and a commitment to sourcing high-quality materials, particularly diamonds. Tiffany & Co. is famous for its signature blue box, the legendary six prong Tiffany setting and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

In 2021, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s largest luxury conglomerate, acquired Tiffany & Co. in a deal valued at around $15.8 billion. This acquisition marked a new chapter in Tiffany’s long-standing history, with plans to further elevate its global presence.

His lamp designs and glasswork are legendary, but he also made significant contributions to Tiffany’s jewelry with the use of natural motifs and vibrant gemstones. He became Tiffany & Co's first design director in 1902. Louis Comfort Tiffany's jewelry design motifs included flowers, leaves and insects and other organic elements. These nature-inspired forms were a hallmark of the Art Nouveau movement, which celebrated flowing, asymmetrical lines and patterns derived from nature. One of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s hallmark techniques in jewelry design was his innovative use of enamel.
