Symbols of perfection, pearls are the most classic of gems,
bringing an air of elegance and sophistication to the women
who wear them. No name in fine jewelry says “classic” more
than Tiffany & Co., and in Tiffany Pearls, the venerable
institution’s longtime design director traces the dazzling
history of pearl jewelry at Tiffany, from the mid-19th
century to the present, including fascinating accounts of
many of the world’s most famous pearls since the Renaissance. Tiffany Pearls is lavishly illustrated with archival
photographs, portraits of illustrious pearl lovers through
the centuries (including Queen Elizabeth I; Catherine de
Medici; Mary, Queen of Scots; and Mary Todd Lincoln),
sketches and drawings of Tiffany’s signature designs, and
photographs of their spectacular antique and contemporary
pearl pieces. In addition, celebrities from Audrey Hepburn
to Elizabeth Taylor, Christy Turlington, Naomi Watts, and
Sarah Jessica Parker are pictured decked out in lavish
Tiffany pearls.
