around the new music, spawned cocktail culture and frenzied dance crazes that transformed New York into the 24-hour city we recognize today. And newly enfranchised women, not only embraced the vote but an un-precedented sense of liberation; they joined the workforce, cropped their hair and gained a degree of independence that would have been unthinkable a decade before. Tiffany absorbed the moment’s optimistic spirit to create some of the most spectacular designs in its history. In the process, it played a leading role in advancing the look of the Jazz Age and American glamour.

T I F FA N Y & T H E 1 9 2 0As New York’s—and America’s—foremost jeweler during the vibrant 1920s, Tiffany dressed the most stylish names of the era in extraordinary jewels that reflected the city’s dynamism. Socialites from the Vanderbilt, Rockefeller and Astor families wore Tiffany diamonds with their diaphanous gowns and spangled flapper dresses. Inspired by Art Deco architecture, the house distinguished itself with softer, more contoured designs, unlike other houses’ stark interpretations of Deco’s precise geometry typified by buildings such as Radio City Music Hall. As the world’s diamond authority, Tiffany excelled at white-on-white designs composed entirely of diamonds

(primarily marquise, baguette and cabochon-cut stones) set in platinum, or with accents

of colored diamonds. Tiffany’s stones of gener-ous size, often ten carats or more, were sought after

by the elite of New York society, for whom Tiffany was the ultimate arbiter of luxury whose exquisite

jewels reflected the seismic shifts in music, architecture and social attitudes.

The energy of the 1920s pervades the 2013 Tiffany Blue Book Collection, the annual

presentation of Tiffany’s most breathtaking jewels. Among them

are wide diamond bracelets with clean vertical lines and a spiraling tanzanite pendant top-ping 40 carats that echo the crisp lines of Art Deco

architecture and reference Tiffany’s exceptional archive from the period.

Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel of the same name, Tiffany’s new Great Gatsby collection captures the lavish, freewheeling mood of the Roaring Twenties. No artistic work is more closely linked to Jazz Age splendor than Fitzgerald’s classic story. Himself a Tiffany client, Fitzgerald created characters whose opu-

lent clothes were tailor-made for the collection’s pearl tassel necklaces,

enamel cufflinks and onyx rings. This stunning jewelry is perfect for today’s equivalent of Jazz

Age parties at palatial Long Island estates and Manhattan penthouses. In like fashion, the new Ziegfeld collection

features pearl necklaces and locket pendants of great length and movement, with all the exuberance of a 1920s Broadway revue.

Other Tiffany collections such as Legacy, Grace and the aptly named Jazz reflect Deco’s graphic symmetry in chandelier earrings and bracelets of round brilliant and baguette diamonds. Now as then, ropes of Tiffany pearls,

a signature of 1920s fashion, complement these elegant creations with their lustrous beauty.

Jewels influenced by the Jazz Age demonstrate their contemporary allure on the fabled walkway known as the red carpet. Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet and Kate Hudson are among Hollywood’s current crop of leading ladies who have chosen Art Deco-inspired Tiffany jewels to captivate the crowd and the cameras. These celebrities have embraced a style that is as modern and relevant now as when it first appeared nearly a century ago, a style that is synonymous with Tiffany & Co. and its legendary diamonds.

The city vibrated with thrilling energy and innovations that caused a sensation the world over.
