Incredibly Rare Jean Schlumberger Pre-Tiffany's Crystal Floral Costume Brooch
The edit · Jewellery
A used piece of jewellery in crystal. Nothing on a vintage jewellery tray was designed by committee. Chunky chains and carved cameos share the same handmade quality that modern production cannot copy.
Breakfast at Tiffany's, and everything since.
Founded in New York in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany as a stationery and fancy goods store. It became the great American jeweller, and its 1886 six-prong Tiffany setting changed engagement rings forever.
Tiffany silver, from Paloma Picasso to Elsa Peretti, and its vintage jewellery are collected worldwide. A blue box is still shorthand for the real thing.
What to look for
The stamp is everything: Tiffany & Co., the metal mark, and often a year or maker's mark. Peretti and Picasso pieces should carry their signature.
Hallmarks tell the story. A clear maker's mark or metal stamp is worth more than a pretty setting, so turn the piece over before you fall for it.
How to wear it
One heavy piece beats three delicate ones. Mix gold with silver deliberately, and pin a brooch to a lapel slightly higher than feels natural.
