Tiffany & Co. has unveiled new designs from its Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection, featuring freshwater pearls in a stunning evolution of the iconic collaboration. Inspired by the trident of Poseidon, ruler of the sea and King of Atlantis, the collection pays homage to both ancient mythology and Pharrell Williams' roots in the Atlantis community of Virginia Beach. The new pieces, which add high-luster freshwater pearls to the original 18k yellow gold and black titanium designs, reflect a daring fusion of strength and elegance, pushing the boundaries of fine jewelry design.
Pharrell Williams, known for his creative genius and fearless individuality, draws from his affinity with water in this collection. "In Japan, it was believed that pearls were created from the tears of mythical water creatures, so I naturally gravitated towards them as a means of expressing this connection to water," said Williams. This connection to nature is embodied in the new designs, which blend diamonds with pearls over 11 mm in size, forming bold silhouettes that include necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. The collection juxtaposes the spear-like diamond motif with soft, curved links, creating a unique dialogue between tension and balance.
Tiffany & Co. has long been associated with pearls, from Abraham Lincoln's gift of a seed-pearl suite to his wife for the 1862 inaugural ball to the legendary Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Pearl collection. The Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams adds a fresh, modern take on this storied legacy, with standout pieces like a necklace adorned with freshwater pearls and nearly 1 carat of diamonds and a bracelet featuring pearls and over 2 carats of diamonds. Both pieces incorporate spike rondelles crafted from 18k gold, alternating with the pearls to create a striking, contemporary aesthetic.
The new designs represent Tiffany & Co.'s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, highlighting the House's ability to blend tradition with modern design. Available globally on Tiffany.com and at Tiffany & Co. stores in September, the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection continues to redefine luxury jewelry with an inventive approach to timeless materials.
