Tiffany & Co., founded in New York City in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young, has become an enduring symbol of American luxury and refined taste. Originally a stationery and fancy goods store, the company quickly gained prominence for its exceptional silver craftsmanship, winning international acclaim at the 1867 Paris Exposition and setting the U.S. standard for sterling silver at .925 purity. Over time, Tiffany expanded into fine jewelry, diamonds, and timepieces, cementing its reputation with iconic designs like the Tiffany Setting engagement ring and collaborations with legendary designers such as Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso. Its distinctive robin’s-egg blue packaging, trademarked as “Tiffany Blue,” has become as recognizable as the brand itself, representing a blend of heritage, quality, and aspirational elegance that continues to influence global jewelry design and culture.
