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.
