A diamond worthy of the most beautiful stones
Over its 183-year history, Tiffany's and Co. has seen some of the world's most famous diamonds pass through its hands. Charles Lewis Tiffany was the first to be dubbed the King of Diamonds (a title later taken up by Harry Winston). He notably purchased a large number of diamonds belonging to aristocrats fleeing after the abdication of King Louis Philippe in 1848. At an 1887 sale of the French crown jewels, he took home 24 of the 69 lots offered for sale. Among them were Empress Eugénie's diamond riviere necklaces . These jewels were later acquired by Mrs. Pulitzer and Caroline Astor.
Today, the origin of Tiffany diamonds' prestige comes from other factors. They are sourced from mines that support local communities and adhere to strict ethical and environmental standards.
