Due to the last post on Jewellery Houses I've listed those I consider to be the top 5 of them. On this post I will be writing with the one I chose of which is Tiffany and Co. It was founded in 1838 by Charles Lewis Tiffany (1812-1902) and his partner JB Young.
Charles Lewis Tiffany took sole control in of the company in 1853 when the business was renamed Tiffany & Co. The business moved to a palatial store in Union Square and flourished through the 1870s also becomes the destination for New York's fashionable and wealthy elite. Tiffany was known for Japonesque-style silverware and for diamond jewellery : Charles Tiffany became the "King of Diamonds."
In 1889 Tiffany won numerous awards at international exhibitions in Paris. On 1902 his father died and Louis Comfort Tiffany took over the reins becoming Tiffany's first design director. Today Reed Krakoff occupies the newly-created role of Artistic Director of Tiffany & Co.
