16 Style | report 5th Avenue façade Julia nobis introducing Tiffany With Tiffany & Co. now open in Auckland, Victoria Tait provides an overview of this incredible brand’s history and speaks with Glen Schlehuber, vice president and managing director of Tiffany & Co. Oceania, about what we can expect to see in New Zealand. Julia nobis in 1837, 25-year-old charles Lewis tiffany opened a “stationery and fancy goods” in new York city with his school friend John B. Young. The growing business quickly developed a reputation for fine goods, especially Bohemian glass and porcelain, and began the manufacture of its own jewellery. Sixteen years on, charles tiffany took full control of the company, renamed it tiffany & company (1853), and established the firm’s emphasis on jewellery. With natural talent, charles tiffany lead the company through the next 60 years of undeniable success. Tiffany was first recognised at the 1867 Paris World’s Fair, at which the company was awarded the grand prize for silver craftsmanship; a first for an American design house. In 1878, Tiffany acquired one of the world’s largest and finest yellow diamonds. the diamond was cut from 287.42 carats to 128.54 carats with 82 facets, which gave the stone its legendary fire and brilliance. named the tiffany diamond, the stone became an exemplar of tiffany craftsmanship. today and throughout history, tiffany & co has attracted the most prominent members of society from the Vanderbilts and Whitneys to Jacqueline Kennedy onassis and Elizabeth taylor. our modern-day screen stars, such as cate Blanchett, Kate Hudson and Jessica Biel, have been all seen adorned in tiffany diamonds. in 1886, tiffany introduced the engagement ring as we know it today. this famous ring was named the tiffany Setting. it was so popular even a young Franklin Roosevelt purchased a Tiffany engagement ring in 1904. With the death of Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1902, his son Louis Comfort Tiffany – a highly skilled artisan – became Tiffany’s first director of design and set up the Tiffany Artistic Jewellery department in the Fifth Avenue store. Glen Schlehuber, vice president and managing director of Tiffany’s oceania, gives us the inside word on all things tiffany today.
