his recognized genius. There he had the freedom of creation with many
yellow beryls, amethysts, emeralds, sapphires and aquamarines on yellow

The designs of Elsa Peretti have revolutionized
the world of modern jewelry. The Florence lady joined Tiffany &
Co in 1974. Her first collection was very criticized because of
her inspirations : bones, hearts, apples, snakes… She is also
famous for her works in sterling silver and her innovative designs
which captured a disarming vision of the natural world.

Paloma Picasso, the daughter of Pablo Picasso,
born in Paris, was at first a stylist for avant-garde productions.
She entered the jewelry company in 1979, and one year later, introduced
an embraced, imaginative, vital and innovative collection with bold
