Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany and Co. was started by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in 1837 as a ‘stationary and fancy goods’ store with a $1000 advance from Tiffany’s father. The company achieved international recognition for their silver craftsmanship at the 1867 Paris World’s Fair. What aided them in their early success was the fact that they were the first American design company to use the British silver standard of 92% pure silver. Eventually Tiffany & Co. opened the first American design school for silver, headed by the famed silversmith Edward C. Moore. By 1870, Tiffany & Co. had become America’s leading silversmith, gradually moving into fine jewelry and timepieces. To this day, Tiffany & Co. is a well-respected and fashionable international company, producing elegant silver pieces to grace the homes of those who admire the work.
