Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) (known colloquially as Tiffany or Tiffany's) is a luxury American multinational jewelry and silverware corporation, with headquarters in New York City. Tiffany sells jewelry, sterling silver, china, crystal, stationery, fragrances, personal accessories, as well as some leather goods.[4] Many of these goods are sold under the Tiffany name at Tiffany stores and through direct-mail and corporate merchandising. Tiffany is renowned for its luxury goods, especially for its diamonds: diamond jewelry, and especially its diamond engagement rings. Tiffany markets itself as an arbiter of taste and style.[5]

History [edit]

Tiffany & Co., Union Square, storage area with porcelain (about 1887)
"Tiffany Cross" version of the Medal of Honor

Founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young[6] in New York City in 1837 as a "stationery and fancy goods emporium," the store initially sold a wide variety of stationery items, and operated as Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower Manhattan. The name was shortened to Tiffany & Co. in 1853 when Charles Tiffany took control, and the firm's emphasis on jewelry was established.[7] Tiffany & Co. has since opened stores in major cities all over the world. Unlike other stores at the time in the 1830s, Tiffany clearly marked the prices on its goods, as there would be no haggling for the price. In addition, against the social norm at the time, Tiffany only accepted cash payments, and did not accept payments on credit.[8]

The first Tiffany's mail order catalog, known as the "Blue Book," was published in 1845 in the United States;[9] and it is still being published today. In 1862, Tiffany & Co. supplied the Union Army with swords (Model 1840 Cavalry Saber), flags and surgical implements. In 1867, Tiffany & Co. was the first US firm to win an award for the excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1877, an insignia that would become the famous New York Yankees "NY" logo was struck on a medal of honor by Tiffany & Co. The Yankees adopted the logo in 1909. In 1878, Tiffany won the gold medal for jewelry and a grand prize for silverware at the Paris Exposition, which gave the Tiffany name added prestige. In 1868, Tiffany was incorporated.[5] In 1887, Tiffany bought the French Crown Jewels which attracted publicity and further solidified the Tiffany brand's connection to quality diamonds.[10] The company revised the Great Seal of the United States in 1885. In 1902, after the death of Charles Lewis Tiffany, his son, Louis Comfort Tiffany became the company's first official Design Director.[9]

In 1919, the company made a revision to the Medal of Honor on behalf of the United States Department of the Navy.[11] This "Tiffany Cross" version was rare because it was awarded only for combat, using the previous design for non-combat awards.[12] In 1942 the Navy established the Tiffany version for non-combat heroism, but in August 1942 the Navy eliminated the Tiffany Cross and the two-medal system.[13] In 1956, legendary designer Jean Schlumberger joined Tiffany, and Andy Warhol collaborated with Tiffany to create Tiffany Holiday Cards (circa 1956-1962).[9][14]

In 1968, US First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson commissioned Tiffany to design a White House china service, which featured 90 flowers.[15][16] In November 1978 Tiffany & Co. was sold to Avon Products Inc. for about $104 million in stock. However, in a 1984 Newsweek article, it was noted that the Fifth Avenue Tiffany store had began stocking so many inexpensive items that it began looking like Macy's during a white sale.[8] Furthermore, customers complained about declining quality and service. In August 1984, Avon sold Tiffany to an investor group led by William R. Chaney, for $135.5 million in cash. Tiffany went public again in 1987, and raised about $103.5 million by selling 4.5 million shares of common stock.[8] Because of the 1990-1991 recession in the United States, Tiffany began to emphasize mass merchandising. A new campaign was started that stressed how Tiffany could be affordable for all; for instance, it advertised that diamond engagement rings started at $850. “How to Buy a Diamond” brochures were sent to 40,000 people who called a toll-free number specifically set up to target the larger population.[8] However, to maintain its image as a luxury goods company, it continued to display high-style images in stores.[8] In 2000, The Tiffany & Co. Foundation was established to provide grants to nonprofit organizations working in the environment and in the arts.[17] In June 2004, Tiffany sued eBay, claiming that it was making profits from the sale of counterfeit Tiffany products.[18] Tiffany lost at trial and on appeal[19] (see Tiffany v. eBay for more details.) On January 28, 2008, it was announced that the Japanese mobile phone operator SoftBank and Tiffany & Co. had collaborated in making a limited 10 model-only cellphone. This cellphone contains more than 400 diamonds, totaling more than 20 carats (4.0 g). The cost is said to be more than 100,000,000 yen (£ 781,824).[20]

Stores [edit]

Tiffany and Co.'s flagship store
The Tiffany Yellow Diamond is a 128-carat stone cut in a modified cushion-shape featuring 90 facets instead of the 57 or 58 of a standard brilliant cut. The stone was discovered in 1878 and has never been sold.

Since 1940, Tiffany's flagship store has been located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in Manhattan, New York City. The polished granite exterior is well known for its window displays. The store has been the location for a number of films including Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn; and Sweet Home Alabama, starring Reese Witherspoon. The former Tiffany and Company Building on 37th Street is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

As of January 31, 2007, the Company operated 64 Tiffany & Co. stores in the US, which totaled approximately 486,000 gross square feet; and 103 Tiffany & Co. international stores, which totaled approximately 306,000 gross square feet.[21]

When it opened in 1990, the Tiffany & Co. store at Fairfax Square in Tysons Corner, VA became the largest outside of New York with 14,500 sq ft (1,350 m2) of retail space.[22]

Tiffany & Co. reported in 2006 that its location at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA was its most profitable location followed by its New York City flagship, Boston Copley Place, and Ala Moana Shopping Center in Honolulu.

Tiffany & Co. has announced its second store opening in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur in September 2007, coinciding with the shopping mall opening. The store has 1,700 sq ft (160 m2) retail space and features the same decor elements as its New York flagship. Recently opened stores in the United States include the Natick Collection in Natick, MA, which opened in September 2007; Mohegan Sun Erika's casino in Connecticut and the Providence Place mall in Providence, R.I., which both opened in November 2007. There is a Tiffany store in Columbus, OH at the Easton Mall. There are several other stores in Connecticut, including New York City suburbs of Greenwich and Westport, and the affluent Hartford suburbs at Farmington (Westfarms Mall).

In the United Kingdom there is a Tiffany store in Terminal 5 at London's Hope Heathrow airport, which opened at the end of March 2008 and a store in the Westfield London shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush. Also a store is situated on the intersection of Burlington Gardens & New Bond Street.

Tiffany & Co. opened its flagship Irish store, a concession in Brown Thomas on Dublin's Grafton Street in October 2008. It is the biggest of the group's European outlets. In October 2008, Tiffany's opened a store in Madrid, Spain, and brought the Tiffany Yellow Diamond (pictured at right) to the opening.

In Australia, Tiffany & Co. have a flagship store located on Collins Street in Melbourne. Other stores include Melbourne (Chadstone Shopping Centre), Sydney (Castlereagh Street, Westfield Bondi Junction, DFS Galleria - George Street), Brisbane (Queens Plaza) and Perth (King Street).

On March 8, 2001, Tiffany's launched the first Latin American store in AngelesSão Paulo, Brazil, located in the Iguatemi São Paulo shopping center.[23] The company opened a second store in the city on October 20, 2003,[24] near the famous Oscar Freire Street.

In January 2010, Tiffany's opened their first store in Bogotá, Colombia in Hayuelos Shopping Mall.

During 2011 Tiffany's opened a store in MultiplazaEscazu.

Also, on September 9, 2011, Tiffany's opened their newest store in Richmond, VA in Stony Point Fashion Park.

Tiffany's also has locations in large Southern Cities like Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina.

In 2004, Tiffany & Co. created another chain of stores, Iridesse, dedicated to pearl-only jewelry. The company operated 16 stores in Florida, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The chain operated at a loss since its founding, and the company announced in early 2009 that it would discontinue Iridesse due to the economic climate of the time, despite reportedly still believing in the concept.[25]

Manufacturing [edit]

The Company’s manufacturing facilities produce approximately 60% of Tiffany merchandise sold. The balance, including rose-gold and almost all non-jewelry items, are purchased from third parties from overseas.

Tiffany produces jewelry and silver goods in Mount Vernon, New York; Cumberland, Rhode Island; Lexington, Kentucky and silver hollowware in New Jersey. Other subsidiaries of the Company process, cut and polish diamonds at facilities outside the U.S.

The Company may increase the percentage of internally manufactured jewelry in the future, but it is not expected that Tiffany will ever manufacture all of its needs. Factors considered by management in its decision to outsource manufacturing include: product quality, gross margin, access to or mastery of various jewelry-making skills and technology, support for alternative capacity and the cost of capital investments.[26]

Advertising [edit]

After the initial "Blue Book" Tiffany catalog was published in 1845, Tiffany continued to use their catalog as an advertisement strategy.Tiffany still has a catalog for subscribers, but their advertisement strategy is no longer focused on its catalog. One of the first catalogs to be printed in full color and was free until 1972. Tiffany's mail-order catalogs reached 15 million people in 1994. Tiffany also has a corporate gift catalog each year. Corporate customers purchase these Tiffany products for business gift-giving, employee service and achievement recognition awards, and even as customer incentives.[5] In addition to the mail-order catalog, Tiffany places its advertisements in many locations, including bus stops, in magazines, newspapers, and online. Tiffany routinely places ads in Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, Architectural Digest, Money, Conde Nast Traveler, Black Enterprise, and Texas Monthly.[27] Tiffany even places banner advertisements in The New York Times app for the iPhone. The banner redirects to a page where the user can purchase the Tiffany app, which is free.[28][29]

Diamonds [edit]

Tiffany designs were worn by such famous US families as the Astors, the Vanderbilts, Posts, Huttons and the Morgans. Athletes, Hollywood stars, and even European royalty adored these diamonds. Museums valued the Tiffany designs, which ranged from the Art Nouveau period to Art Deco to today's modern styles.[citation needed]

A Tiffany’s gemologist, George Frederick Kunz, was instrumental in the international adoption of the metric carat as a weight standard for gems, and the Tiffany standard for sterling and platinum have been adopted as United States Standards.[citation needed]

The 128.54 carats (25.71 g) Fancy Yellow Tiffany Diamond is usually on display in the New York City flagship store.

In November 2012, Tiffany & Co. agreed to purchase diamonds from Russia's ALROSA for $60 million annually.[30]

Fragrances [edit]

Original 1989 Sample bottle of Tiffany for Men fragrance

In the late 1980s, Tiffany & Co. ventured into the fragrance business. Tiffany for women was launched in 1987, a floral perfume for women by perfumer Francois Demachy. At $220 per ounce, "Tiffany" was successfully marketed by major department stores across the United States.[31] Two years later, Tiffany for Men was launched in 1989 and developed by perfumer Jacques Polge. The bottle for both the men's and women's fragrance were designed by Pierre Dinand. In 1995, Tiffany launched Trueste perfume for women which was later discontinued. Currently, Tiffany continues to produce the core fragrance product for men and the product for women.

Sports awards [edit]

Tiffany's is the maker of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, made annually to be awarded to the NFL team that wins the Super Bowl that year.[32]

Tiffany & Co. also made the 2010 and 2012 World Series rings for the San Francisco Giants.[33]

The MLS championship trophy, won by the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2011, was also made by Tiffany & Co.[34]
