Presenting Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard®, a stylish collection featuring a range of versatile, everyday diamonds. Elsa Peretti created her revolutionary Diamonds by the Yard® collection in 1974 as an homage to a bezel-set diamond ring that her grandmother wore every day.
In her pursuit to make diamonds more wearable and to give them an everyday sensibility, Peretti’s strands of bezel-set diamonds measuring one yard instantly captivated women around the world. Her approach was based on simple, organic shapes and diamonds of varying sizes positioned gracefully along precious metal chains that scintillate like droplets of light against the skin.
The most iconic Diamond by the Yard® styles are the 72-inch and 36-inch sprinkle diamond necklaces and the 16-inch single diamond pendant.
Embodying the effortless elegance that the designer imbued in all her creations, Peretti’s indelible Diamonds by the Yard® collection forever changed the way diamonds were worn—all day, every day and always.
“My client is myself. A working woman. It was the ’60s, early ’70s, and there was a new generation of working women, who wanted to buy jewelry for themselves, jewelry to wear day and night. Jewelry to represent their freedom,” said Elsa Peretti.
