Tiffany & Co.’s deep-flowing ties with Japan date back to the year the American jeweller was founded in 1837 and were honoured at the “Tiffany Wonder” exhibition at Tokyo Node Gallery. Showcasing nearly 500 exquisite objects, including rare pieces like George Paulding Farnham’s orchid brooch, Jean Schlumberger’s Plumes necklace and the legendary 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond, a cornerstone of the House, the exhibit celebrated 187 years of artistry, creativity, and Tiffany & Co.’s diamond legacy.
The immersive show is Tiffany & Co.’s largest exhibition to date, featuring hundreds of masterfully crafted designs, legendary diamonds, and breathtaking creations. Attendees explored the rich heritage and modern achievements of Tiffany & Co., viewing archival and contemporary high jewellery pieces that told a story of respect and creativity.
The exhibition includes not only jewellery but also decorative objects that prove that Japan has been a key ingredient to the brand’s success since day one. For instance, Japanese stained-glass lamps and lacquered wood, similar to those imported objects, that the house’s pioneering founder Charles Lewis Tiffany offered to his clients in his first New York boutique in 1837.
“Tiffany Wonder” is a timeless masterpiece which left an indelible impression, inspiring new discoveries and prompting reflection on the wealth of history and creativity at Tiffany & Co. Missing such events is no longer an option – they are true celebrations of art and beauty, lifting spirits and inspiring awe. And even if you missed the opportunity to see it IRL in Tokyo, the immersive experience is reflected in the short documentary film, accompanying the exhibition.
