A DIAMOND HERITAGE

It was Tiffany & Co. that introduced major gemstones to the United States in 1848, a debut that earned Charles Lewis Tiffany the moniker “King of Diamonds.” Soon thereafter he unveiled the Tiffany Diamond, one of the largest and finest fancy yellow diamonds in the world. And in 1887, Tiffany again made headlines when, in one of the world’s most shocking retail coups, he purchased the French Crown Jewels. This feat established Tiffany & Co. as the home of the finest diamonds on the face of the earth, and so it remains today.
