Tiffany & Co. Celebrates the modern woman for Elsa Peretti's 50th Anniversary
Drawing inspiration from the designer's original Bone cuff style, the revered jewelry house has relaunched the sublime, sculptural style in a collection that fêtes Peretti's unique legacy and artistic senses.
Beloved luxury jewelry house Tiffany & Co. celebrates its enduring creative partnership with famed Italian jewelry designer Elsa Peretti with the launch of its latest pieces, the Bone and Split rings, inspired by several of Peretti's most iconic styles.
The world was first introduced to the Bone cuff design in 1970. Throughout her career, Peretti was roused by the fascinating structural beauty of the natural world, and traces of the shapes and designs naturally occurring in the environment and the human body can be found throughout her extensive body of work. Drawing inspiration from the unique, sublime structures of human bones, Peretti created the original Bone cuff ring—an undeniably elegant piece of jewelry that conveys the designer's unique, enduring legacy and sense of artistry.
Beyond its captivating appearance, the Bone and Split rings also mimic the formation of human fingers and joints, making these pieces appear an extension of the body, offering the wearer both comfort and chic, refined style. While cuff ringstend to be uncomfortable or limiting, Peretti modeled the shape and fit after the joints and bones that lie under the skin, creating a natural, seamless fit for each and every wearer.
“I have always been interested in the mechanics and its feel: every jewelry piece should be captivating and comfortable to wear,” Elsa Peretti once said.
The Bone cuff was also inspired by Peretti's lifelong interest in natural splendor found throughout history. As a young girl, Peretti traveled to the 17th-century Capuchin crypt in Rome and the Casa Milà in Barcelona, and both storied locations rich in human history served as enduring sources of inspiration that guided her design journey, resulting in the bold, sleek gilded styles seen in both the Bone and the Split rings. Both rings are available in 18k yellow gold and sterling silver to fit the sensibilities of the modern woman, who is celebrated in the refined aesthetic of the designs created by Elsa Peretti.
Clients can shop early access of the Elsa Peretti Bone ring, exclusively on Tiffany.com starting June 14. The Split ring is available as a regional piece first in Europe and the Middle East in Tiffany & Co. stores and websites. The new rings will be available globally in Tiffany & Co. stores and Tiffany.com as of July 1.
