The diamond necklace is expected to be its most expensive piece and will be unveiled in 2022 when the doors of its transformed Fifth Avenue flagship store reopens
Tiffany & Co has announced that it has recently acquired an exceptional D-colour oval diamond that surpasses 80 carats. Responsibly sourced in Botswana, Africa, the acquisition will be set in a necklace inspired by an archival high jewellery necklace that premiered at the 1939 World’s Fair.
The finished piece will be showcased in 2022 in tandem with the fully renovated Fifth Avenue flagship in New York City. And while the specific design will not be unveiled until next year, it’s expected to be the most expensive diamond to ever be offered by the New York-based jewellery house—the only larger piece being the 128.54 carat diamond that was worn by Audrey Hepburn (and was never for sale).
