The Color You Can’t Copy
Tiffany Blue® is so iconic, it’s trademarked—not just the name, but the exact shade (Pantone 1837). The number honors the year Tiffany & Co. was founded. The color is legally protected and cannot be used commercially without permission.
Boxes Worth More Than the Gift
Tiffany’s robin’s egg blue box became such a symbol of luxury that customers once tried to buy it on its own. Tiffany refused. The box is only given with a purchase, preserving its mystique.
America’s First Luxury Catalog
In 1845, Tiffany & Co. introduced the Blue Book—the first mail-order catalog in the United States. Filled with fine jewelry and high-end goods, it brought luxury to customers far beyond New York City.
The Tiffany Diamond Was Never Sold
The 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond, one of the largest yellow diamonds ever discovered, has never been for sale. It has only been worn publicly four times, including by Audrey Hepburn, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. Want to know more about the jewel that made headlines?
