Tiffany
Co. is one of the most prominent purveyors of luxury goods in the
United States, and has long been an important arbiter of style in the
design of diamond engagement rings. A young Franklin Delano Roosevelt
proposed to his future wife, Eleanor, with a Tiffany ring in 1904.
Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Astors and members of the Russian imperial family
all wore Tiffany Co. jewels. And Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
preferred Tiffany china for state dinners at the White House.
Although synonymous with luxury today, the firm started out rather
modestly. Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young founded it in
Connecticut as "a stationery and fancy goods emporium" in 1837, at a
time when European imports still dominated the nascent American luxury
market. In 1853, Charles Tiffany who in 1845 had launched the
company's famed catalog, the Blue Book, and with it, the firm's
signature robin's-egg blue, which he chose for the cover shifted the
focus to fine jewelry. In 1868, Tiffany Co. gained international
recognition when it became the first U.S. firm to win an award for
excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. From
then on, it belonged to the pantheon of American luxury brands.
