ELSA PERETTI OPEN HEART PENDANT

Italian fashion designer, model and philanthropist Elsa Peretti is responsible for many of Tiffany & Co.’s most iconic jewellery lines. She was employed by the company in the mid-1970s, and by 1979 was its lead designer. Her collections, which include “Bean”, and “Bone cuff” have even been commemorated in institutions such as the British Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Perhaps her most recognisable design is the fluid “open heart”, inspired by sculptor Henry Moore, which ‘celebrates the spirit of love’.
