Tiffany & Co. was founded in New York City in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young, who opened their first store on Broadway as a stationery and fancy-goods business. Over time, the house expanded its focus to jewelry, diamonds, silver, watches, and other luxury objects, establishing a broad jewelry catalogue spanning rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and engagement pieces.

A significant part of Tiffany & Co.’s jewelry history has been shaped by its work with diamonds, colored gemstones, and precious metals, alongside a wide range of distinctive jewelry designs. Over the decades, the house has continued to develop rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other pieces that reflect both its New York heritage and its evolving approach to fine jewelry.
