In recognition of her notoriously sublime touch in the world of jewelry, Tiffany & Co. reintroduced Elsa Peretti’s signature Bean Design collection created in the 1970s that symbolizes the seed of life and interprets the artisan’s love for the natural organic world as well as fluid and sculptural forms. The new iterations feature hand-cut jade, diamonds, Japanese lacquer and silk and include a pendant with crossed threads of red silk in gold lacquer, and a brooch paved with diamonds on a gold mesh cord. Peretti, a masterful artisan who revolutionized the way women wear jewelry, is a pioneer whose designs were highly praised for their fluid shape and tactile quality. The new releases showcase the organic and timeless beauty of the Peretti’s bean-inspired motif in 18k gold wire and Pavé diamonds. The signature hand-carved green jade, Japanese lacquer and silk are reinterpreted in a new aesthetic statement varying from delicate designs to bold expression crafted from an array of beautiful materials and designs, a testament of a visionary art, timeless in its modernity.
“The day Elsa Peretti became a part of Tiffany & Co. was the day we entered a new era in our history of design and innovation”
~Michael J. Kowalski, former chairman and CEO, Tiffany & Co.
