Get ready to be dazzled, Tokyo: Tiffany & Co. is unveiling its latest exhibition, Tiffany Wonder, opening its doors on April 12 and running through June 23.
This immersive experience promises to transport visitors on a breathtaking journey through the House’s most exquisite creations, legendary diamonds, and the stories they hold.
A Celebration of Heritage and Innovation
Held at the TOKYO NODE gallery, situated within the towering Toranomon Hills Station Tower, Tiffany Wonder marks a significant moment for the brand. The exhibition not only celebrates Tiffany & Co.’s nearly 200-year legacy but also highlights the deep connection the company has shared with Japan since its early days.
In 1837, founder Charles Lewis Tiffany offered his clients a unique selection of imported Japanese goods, a rarity in the American market at the time. This early appreciation for Japanese artistry continued to influence the House’s design ethos. Both Louis Comfort Tiffany and Elsa Peretti, renowned Tiffany designers, drew inspiration from Japanese aesthetics in their work. The Tiffany Wonder exhibition celebrates this long-standing mutual respect and highlights how Japanese art has enriched Tiffany & Co.’s creative journey.
At Tiffany Wonder, visitors can expect to be enthralled by ten unique rooms, each meticulously curated to explore themes central to Tiffany’s identity. From craftsmanship and heritage to cutting-edge design and enduring creativity, the exhibition promises a multi-faceted exploration of the brand’s coveted DNA.
Treasures from the Tiffany Vault
The exhibition is set to be unlike anything else, leaving visitors awestruck with nearly 300 never-before-seen objects, including design relics and cultural touchstones. Among these treasures are the very first Tiffany Blue Book mail-order catalog, a piece of history that revolutionized jewelry shopping, and the iconic Tiffany® Setting engagement ring, a symbol of everlasting love recognized all over the world.
History buffs will appreciate the inclusion of a rare George Paulding Farnham for Tiffany & Co. orchid brooch, adorned with enamel, emeralds, diamonds, and pink sapphires. Modern marvels will be on display as well, including the Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. Plumes necklace, a dazzling display of diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.
The Crown Jewel: The Tiffany Diamond
The exhibition culminates with a presentation of the legendary Tiffany Diamond, the 128.54-carat centerpiece of the House’s collection. This awe-inspiring gem will be showcased in a stunning, transformable new creation inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s emblematic Bird on a Rock brooch.
“The idea of wonder has been integral to our DNA since 1837,” says Alexandre Arnault, Executive Vice President of Product, Communications & Industrial, Tiffany & Co. “Since the very beginning, each design that we’ve imagined and each piece that we’ve handcrafted has been rooted in our mission to spark wonder and inspire the world’s greatest love stories. This exhibition celebrates this spirit in a city of great importance to Tiffany & Co.: Tokyo.”
