TIFFANY & CO. UNVEILS NEW JEWELRY COLLECTION

Tiffany & Co. debuts a new high jewelry collection—Extraordinary Tiffany—a celebration of the house’s long-standing legacy of transforming exceptionally rare diamonds and colored gemstones into extraordinary works of art. The bold statement pieces in this new high jewelry collection feature graphic arrangements of mixed-cut stones—marquise, cushions, brilliants and half-moons are beautifully juxtaposed against one another, creating pieces that have a distinct modern edge. Each of the collection’s designs feature diamonds and gemstones crafted by Tiffany’s artisans, who hand cut and hand set every stone with a technical precision to maximize their brilliance and natural intense vibrancy. The collection will be traveling to Chicago this fall and can be viewed in person at the Michigan Avenue store, Nov. 5 to 15. 730 N. Michigan Avenue, 312-944-7500, tiffany.com
