High profile talents such as Jean Schlumberger, Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso contributed to the creative DNA and design aesthetic of the brand and today the company enjoys international success from New York to Shanghai.蒂芙尼1837年,一位25歲的創業者查爾斯 ·劉易斯 ·蒂芙尼(Charles Lewis Tiffany)憑著從父親那裡借來的1000美元,與他的商業夥伴約翰·楊(John Young)在紐約開了一家珠寶店。隨著不同合作夥伴的加入,以其精明的營銷和遠見策略,例如開啟了世界上首個郵購目錄,他的生意得以迅速擴張,當生意夥伴於1853年退休時,查爾斯獨家控制企業,並改名為"Tiffany and Young",便是現今世界上著名標誌性品牌——蒂芙尼(Tiffany&Co)的前身。成功的經營,使公司有能力購入更大的寶石,查爾斯於1878年購買了一顆247克拉的黃色鑽石原石,隨後他將其切成128克拉的枕形鑽石名為"蒂芙尼鑽石"。直到今天,蒂芙尼(Tiffany&Co.)仍擁有這個鑽石,繼1961年出現在由奧黛麗·赫本出演的電影"蒂芙尼早餐"(Breakfast at Tiffany's)後,只公開出現在2019年奧斯卡頒獎典禮上,由Lady Gaga佩戴。當查爾斯於1902年去世,他的兒子路易斯掌控整個公司並開始了與藝術界的密切合作。 為其設計珠寶的藝術家包括Jean Schlumberger,Elsa Peretti和Paloma Picasso等知名設計師,他們為品牌的創意DNA和設計美學作出貢獻,如今蒂芙尼在從紐約至上海的國際舞台上皆享譽盛名。
