Frank Gehry, the groundbreaking Tiffany designer, is exerting a dramatic reshaping of the heart in his new Gehry Hearts collection in sterling silver. The famed artist interpreted the universal symbol of love from a new angle, creating contoured reflective surfaces that seem to billow like sails. Capturing the spontaneity of each sweeping turn in generous pendants and earrings or in a continuous pattern of linked hearts in a necklace and bracelet, Tiffany jewelers polished the appearance to a silky smoothness. Beautifully conforming to one another, the hearts catch the light and reflect Tiffany craftsmanship with every movement.
Elsa Peretti, the world-famous jewelry designer, joined Tiffany & Co. in 1974. And just the same year, Elsa Peretti¡¯s Collection was introduced by Tiffany, which launched a new era in American design.
Another great innovator of Tiffany & Co is Schlumberger, who revived the 19th century art of paillonn¨¦ enamel, a process of creating rich, translucent colors with layers of enamel applied over 18 karat gold leaf. The bracelets created by him further captivate with 18 karat gold spikes and cone shapes, crisscross designs or dazzling diamonds, creating one of fashions most versatile and classic signatures of style.
