Tiffany & Co. is pleased to present "Vision & Virtuosity," a brand exhibition showcasing more than 400 pieces from the brand's archives at London's Saatchi Gallery. The exhibition, which offers a glimpse into the history of the venerable jeweler founded in New York in 1837, invites visitors on a journey through the brand's universe, from high jewelry pieces from the archives to Tiffany's' legendary window displays and treasured pop culture legacies, including the recent acquisition of the 80-plus carat Empire Diamond and the original screenplay for Breakfast at Tiffany's. Celebrating Tiffany's as the world's authority in sourcing the finest diamonds, the exhibition reveals how two core values—vision and aesthetics—have driven the company for 185 years.
"This exhibition tells the unparalleled story of Tiffany & Co., one of the most prestigious luxury jewelers, through nearly 200 years of pioneering creativity, legendary craftsmanship and sourcing the world's finest diamonds and gemstones. We are thrilled that visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the world of Tiffany & Co. and our unparalleled style in high jewelry through this exhibition, which perfectly embodies our long-standing legacy of bridging tradition and innovation," said Anthony Ledru, CEO of Tiffany & Co. The exhibition is divided into seven chapters, each conveying core messages about Tiffany's brand identity, heritage and creative influence. Visitors to London's Saatchi Gallery will first discover the legacy of founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, followed by the signature works of Tiffany's greatest designers, including Jean Schlumberger and Elsa Peretti. They will then focus on the world of love and commitment, a cornerstone of Tiffany's heritage, as exemplified by the annual Blue Book high jewelry collection and the Tiffany® Setting, introduced in 1886. After discovering the world of Breakfast at Tiffany's, they will be able to appreciate the dazzling brilliance of diamonds as they view Tiffany's' renowned diamond pieces. The final chapter culminates with an encounter with the legendary 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond.
