History of Tiffany & Co.

Charles Lewis Tiffany and John Young founded Tiffany & Company on September 18th, 1837. It was established then as Tiffany & Young, a stationary and fancy goods emporium and was located at 259 Broadway in New York City. The total sales on the first day totaled $4.98 with every product marked with a non-negotiable sales price, which made headlines as a new revolutionary policy. Soon after opening Tiffany & Young the Tiffany Blue was adopted for their catalogs, bags, brochures, and boxes and became a part of it's branding. Today this color is a registered trademark of Tiffany and Company as Tiffany Blue.

In 1845 the first Tiffany catalog was published, 8 years after they were founded. Catalogs are still being published and distributed today. 14 years after being founded in 1851 Tiffany's silver designs started to capture the worlds attention. They were the first American company to use the 925/1000 sterling standard, which was later adopted as the United States sterling standard. The United States also adopted Tiffany's Platinum purity standard in 1926.

Just 16 years after opening Tiffany & Young, Charles Tiffany gains control of the company and renames it Tiffany & Company. This is when the firm's emphasis on jewelry was established. A nine-foot bronze coated wooden statue of the mythological figure of Atlas supports a clock that is installed over the entrance. Till this day Tiffany & Co. carries an entire Atlas collection of jewelry, watches, accessories, and home items.

In 1862 Tiffany creates and supplies the union army with swords, surgical implements, and flags for use in the civil war. Tiffany & Co. also created gemstone-encrusted swords for generals Grant & Sherman, and Admiral Farragut to be presented with for their services.

Tiffany & Companies exquisite silverware is honored in 1867. They are the first American firm to win and award for the excellence of its silverware. The Paris Exposition Universelle presented the award to Tiffany & Co. The Paris Exposition Universelle was what they called a world faire in 1867.

Tiffany & Company introduces the beautiful Audubon flatware pattern in 1871. It still ranks as Tiffany's best selling flatware to this day 137 years later. The Audubon design was inspired by 19th century Japanese nature paintings. Tiffany & Co. now sells over 15 different flatware patterns aside from their top selling Audubon collection.

Many of Tiffany's designs and pieces have made their way into museum collections around the world. The first of which was a Copper, Silver, and Niello Tiffany pitcher that the Boston museum of fine arts acquired in 1873. Other museums that have acquired Tiffany pieces include the Morse Museum, the Met (the metropolitan museum of art), and many museums nationwide and overseas that include Japan and Britain. The Met collection includes earrings, brooches, vases, and others that range from 1854 to the 1900's.

The Tiffany Diamond is one of the world's largest and finest fancy yellow diamonds. The cut diamond is 128.54 carats with 90 facets, 32 more facets than an average brilliant cut diamond. The raw uncut rough diamond weighed 287.42 carats. It was discovered in South Africa in the Kimberly diamond mines in 1877 and was purchased by Charles Tiffany in 1878. Today it sits on the first floor of Tiffany's fifth avenue store in New York for Tiffany's millions of customers to see. Charles Tiffany purchased the diamond for $18,000; in 1983 the stone was valued at $12,000,000. The Tiffany diamond is the 7th largest yellow diamond in the world and the 2nd largest canary yellow diamond.

The famous Tiffany setting was introduced in 1886. It is a 6-prong diamond solitaire engagement ring. The setting maximizes the diamonds beauty by raising it into the light and up from the band. Tiffany has introduced several different settings since 1886. In 1999, over a hundred years later Tiffany & Co. introduces Lucida, the first setting since the classic Tiffany setting. The Lucida diamond cut is a patented Tiffany original. In 2003 Tiffany & Co. introduces the Tiffany Legacy collection. The Legacy collection includes engagement rings and bands with a patented cushion-cut center stone that is surrounded by bead set diamonds. The Legacy collection was inspired by Edwardian designs from the Tiffany archives. The Legacy collection has grown to include earrings, pendants, and bracelets. In 2007, inspired by the 128.54 carat Tiffany Diamond, Tiffany & Co. introduced the Tiffany Novo, a brilliant cushion cut ring.

In 1887 Tiffany purchases some of the French crown jewels. These along with the Tiffany Diamond, prompt the press to call Charles Tiffany the king of diamonds. The son of Charles Tiffany, Louis Comfort Tiffany establishes the Tiffany Art Jewelry department in 1902. He established this department to manufacture his very artistic jewelry and enamels. Louis becomes the firm's first artistic director after his father Charles Tiffany passes away.

Tiffany & Companies chief gemologist aids in the adoption of the metric carat as a weight standard for gems in 1907. This standard is adopted internationally. George Kunz, Tiffany's chief gemologist was the first gemologist hired by a jeweler when Tiffany & Co. hired him. He supervised the cutting of the Tiffany Diamond in 1879, after studying the stone for an entire year.

1930 begins the Tiffany & Co. requests for Trophy designs. The New York Yacht Cub asks for an 18k gold trophy cup for Sir Thomas Lipton, the tea mogul. In 1967 the NFL (National Football League) awards the first Super Bowl trophy. This Tiffany creation was renamed in 1970 to the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl trophy. The first and second Super Bowl trophies were awarded to the Green Bay Packers, coached by Vince Lombardi. The trophy is valued at $25,000; made entirely of sterling silver and weighs seven pounds. After the trophy is awarded it is sent back to Tiffany's to have the winning teams name engraves along with the final score of the game. In 2004 NASCAR (national association for stock car auto racing) commissions a handcrafted design by tiffany artisans. It takes over 135 hours to create the trophy, which weighs 27 pounds and is 2 feet tall. It's first recipient was Kurt Busch in 2004 after winning the race for the chase at the end of the 2004 racing season.

In 1940 Tiffany & Co. moves its headquarters to 57th street on 5th avenue in New York City. Today this is still its main location, along with many other locations both nationwide and internationally. Tiffany & Companies first domestic store outside of NY opened in San Francisco in 1963. Only a short 9 years later Tiffany shares their presence in another country in 1972, they open a Tiffany boutique in the Mitsukoshi department store in Japan. Tiffany & Co. opens their first uropean store on Old Bond Street in London. This initiated their expansion into the European markets. Tiffany's no operates 64 stores in the United States and 103 stores internationally as of January of 2007.

The book that really puts Tiffany's on the map is published in 1950. Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's becomes a best selling novel and Audrey Hepburn is cast for the movie. In her publicity photo's for the film's release in 1961, Hepburn wears a ribbons necklace designed by Jean Schlumberger which was centered by a removable clip that was set with the 128.54 carat Tiffany Diamond.

In 1956 Jean Schlumberger, the Parisian master jeweler, opens his salon at Tiffany & Co. This Tiffany designer created the bird on a rock brooch that currently mounts the Tiffany Diamond. In 1995 Jean Schlumberger is honored by the Musee des Arts Decoratifs at the Louvre museum in Paris. This marked only the third time a jewelry designer has been so honored by the museum. He was honored with a retrospective entitled A diamond in the city. Elsa Peretti introduces her exclusive jewelry and home collections in 1974. In 1996 the council of fashion designers of America names Elsa Peretti the accessories designer of the year. Her collections include diamonds by the yard, open heart, teardrop, sevillana, and the bean. Paloma Picasso introduces her jewelry designs at Tiffany and Co. in 1980. She is the daughter of artist Pablo Picasso and her designs for Tiffany's include the loving heart and sugar stacks. In 2006 Frank Gehry introduces his jewelry designs for Tiffany and Co. He is the winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize (1989) and is said to be the world's greatest living architect. His buildings include the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Dancing house in Prague, Walt Disney concert hall in LA and many other masterpieces. His Jewelry designs for Tiffany's include Axis, Equus, Fish, Flux, Orchid, Torque, and Tube.

In 1968 Tiffany and Co. designs for the Whitehouse. A collection of Whitehouse china service is designed by Tiffany's, a design that features ninety American flowers. The request for the design was made by First Lady Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson. The china was then manufactured in the United States by Castleton China.

In 1987 Tiffany and Co. offers its stock for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Tiffany's was then under the control of a management group, led by then chairman William R. Chaney. Their symbol on the NYSE is Tif. Not only did they now offer their stock for trading in 1987 it was also Tiffany & Co. 150th anniversary.

In 2000 the Tiffany & Co. Foundation is born. This foundation gives grants to non-profit organizations dedicated to the education and preservation of the arts and environmental conservation. The foundation helps in the areas of responsible mining, coral reef conservation, urban parks and land protection, arts and education, and exhibitions and cultural institutions. Grants to non-profit organizations include the New York Restoration Project, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, World Wildlife Fund, and Several more.

Tiffany & Co. embarked on an extensive restoration project that strictly adhered to state historic preservation office guidelines to restore a 25 story Beaux-Arts building in 2007. The building was designed by architect Frances Kimball and completed in 1907. Tiffany's was very committed to preserving the beauty of the original building and opened in 2007 at 37 Wall Street.
