Tiffany & Co. (since 1837)

Tiffany & Co was founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in New York. In 1845, Tiffany published the first ever US mail-order catalogue. Due to its headquarters being located on Fifth Avenue since its opening in 1910, Tiffany’s soon became widely famous. It was even appointed the purveyor to the Austro-Hungarian court in Vienna. Last but not least, the motion picture 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s' introduced an even larger audience to the company. Tiffany & Co has always been at the forefront of fashion; just this year the company launched a collection in conjunction with the new rendition of the classic 'The Great Gatsby'.

Paloma Picasso (b. 1949)

Paloma Picasso is a daughter of Spanish 20th-century artist Pablo Picasso and French painter/writer Françoise Gilot. Her artistic career began in 1968 when she became a costume designer in Paris. After her rhinestone necklace designs, crafted out of inexpensive flea market finds, gained recognition and admiration from critics, she enlisted in jewelry classes to hone her skills. Soon Yves Saint Laurent tapped her to design accessories for his collection; they became lifelong friends. By 1971 Paloma was working for the Greek jeweler Zolotas. In 1980, John Loring, Senior Vice-President and Design Director of Tiffany & Co. asked Picasso to create jewelry for the company. Thus began a lucrative collaboration with the American firm which continues today. Her bold designs for Tiffany are characterized by the use of large semi-precious stones, always of superior quality.
