The History of Tiffany & Co.
In 1837, Charles Lewis Tiffany and his schoolmate John Young traveled from New England to New York City with an idea and a dream that today is the company Tiffany & Co. With an advance from Charles’ father, they opened a stationary and fancy goods store that profited a mere four dollars and ninety eight cents the first few days they were open, but they didn’t realize that the world of jewelry and luxury goods would never again be the same. The one symbol that most consumers recognize is the 6 prong Tiffany®Setting that is one of the most net worth and is now the prominent jewelry piece of the brand.
Louis Comfort Tiffany,(1848-1933) the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, had a remarkable career designing jewelry, windows, and decorative glass spanned 57 years including his tenure with L.C. Tiffany & Associates Artists, the Tiffany glass company, Tiffany Studios, Tiffany Furnaces, and L.C Tiffany Furnaces. In 1902 he became Tiffany & Co.’s first Design Director, carrying out the company and the brand.
