- Tiffany & Co. is celebrating its 175th anniversary. Correspondent Rita Braver gets an exclusive tour of their landmark store in Manhattan, and a look at some dazzling, never-before-seen treasures from the Tiffany Archives.
Tiffany is one of the few well known jeweller that creates pieces not only for the rich and famous, but for people who only can afford a small amount.
Tiffany’s best marketing movie is the one with Audrey Hepburn

I have very very little money and it show in my clothing but I always feel so welcome in the store, love their employees.
Eline I agree! I remember walking in there as a college student, with no money at all, and the employees being very kind to me. They’re still kind to me, only now, I can afford to at least buy one piece of silver.......😏😏😏
One day you may afford something nice.
@@kmason685 That is nice.
They have amazing employees, from the man at the door, to the sales person, really made me feel welcome, and the place it's so iconic, with such a great history. Not so many luxury brands do that.
not in Jakarta..... i was abt to buy some silver there so i wore casual clothes and the staff there wasnt even care my presence... never buy again and told my friends to buy tiffany's elewhere...
The people saying this company is horrible clearly know nothing about them. Part of why their products are so darn expensive is that they take great pains to avoid buying conflict diamonds. They only buy from places that fully comply with the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme. They invest in the local communities that mine their stones and advocate for legislation against human rights violations. They're also very serious about sustainable mining and doing as little damage to the environment as possible. That's why a lot of their precious metals are recycled or they come from mines they know are doing the right things. They literally put their money where their mouth is and have donated millions. I for one am happy to buy from this company. Because when I do I know the components used to make what I buy were sourced responsibly, and the people who assembled those components were paid a fair wage. Most companies can't say that!
knm_plans Well articulated facts! Thank you!
If you read the post from me; I never had had the chance that I wanted to include Canadian sourced Type 2b diamonds.
Buy lab created diamonds it is exactly the same!! Don’t buy from these people. Lab created diamonds are the future! Do some research and find out for yourselves.
Margo Lockweeze See a modern diamond mining documentary. Most diamonds are not even touch by a human until they are cut and polished.
@@rjsal246 I would never ever ever buy a lab-created gemstone if I was really trying to treat myself well . A person might do it to impress others but not themself .
The most prized possession I own is my great grandmothers Tiffany Lamp with its exquisite detail and timeless beauty. My mother passed it on to me and she frequently asks "is the lamp ok?" She thinks if I have it sitting on a table near the dining room window someone is going to break the window and take it. I said, most people would thinks it's a reproduction with very little value. One piece of the glass has a crack, it just adds to the character.
you should take out insurence on it
@@EvatheDiva00 It falls under our house insurance but, there's a cap on its replacement price.
Your lamp has a Tiffany signature somewhere.
@@mariaelenamartinez7496 yes it does, on the shade and bronze base. Tiffany Studios New York followed by the number.
I have my grandmothers as well!!!
Nobody:
Tiffany’s: You can get this for a MERE 10 million dollars
😂😂
Dou you have change for a 100mil????
Miggy Servano shutup
I got two pieces of jewelry from Tiffany’s as a birthday gift and I absolutely adore them.
Audery hepburn is so cute! Makes me want to rewatch a film again!
My mother has a Tiffany lamp that I treasure. When you hear the name Tiffany’s you automatically think of something that is of the highest quality and craftsmanship. Tiffany’s is right there with Cartier, Chaumet, Van Cleve and Arpels etc... They are a house of excellence and glamour and an American Icon.
I HAD a Tiffany lamp until my cat came along...
love the Lincoln story! I didn't know that! I feel so lucky to own a Tiffany piece
Daniel McIntyre I missed the Lincoln Story!:(
One day I'll have a sugar daddy who'll buy me Tiffany diamonds
Pedro Becerra I hope you find your sugar daddy I have not found mine
so all my diamond rings and my gold I gave to myself🇦🇺💎🇦🇺💎🇦🇺...
Lol yall are too funny 😂😂😂
😭
Pedro Becerra 😂😂😂
How about working?
I love this store, i bought myself a sapphire ring for my 30th birthday.
Are they welcoming?
Just know that it has already lost most of its value should you try to resell it.
Audrey Hepburn at Tiffanny's. Unforgettable film scene. 🌹
I just love Tiffany's!
This would be better reporting if CBS had included that the New York Yankee logo was designed by Tiffany & Co.
John McCadden I DID NOT KNOW THIS & I LIVE & LOVE Baseball! Thank you sir!! 🙏🏻
My Mom gave me an engraved white gold Tiffany's necklace after graduating from college several years back. It's still one of my favorite and most special pieces to this day.
3:51 I wanna know who made that ring stand. 😂😂
A baby girl named Tiffany ....... 👼
Marvellous presentation .. 👍
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰💞🤗
the CEO's pretty smart... I agree, you can't stay the same in this market. Generation's change and tastes not only in food and clothing change but also jewelry. If you want your business to survive or proper you need to either innovate or adapt
I so love Tiffany's!!!!!!
I got my Tiffany earrings and necklace for our anniversary last year and it is beautiful! It’s Silver BUT it’s stunning and nobody knows unless I tell them. I love them and will buy more. They r so nice and it doesn’t matter if it’s a 20k piece or a 200 dollar piece. They treat u as if money isn’t a question. I was stunned that when I told them I wanted silver for my first purchase they didn’t blink a eye. I took well over 2 hrs to decide and never once felt rushed or a burden because it wasn’t a 20k purchase. That is customer service at its finest! 💕
That was.just an infomercial, lovely though.
good vid on more of the history of the company and some of its historical pieces honestly
I love jewels! Liberace would too 💎 so we are even👍
LS Ayers & Wm H Block in indianapolis IN were so much like Tiffanys while i was growing up it was very magical..miss those days
They real big on silver.
Met has lovely Tiffany stuff, but some collections at Tiffany's 2:17 are worth a visit to look, especially the Tiffany diamond 3:54 - 4:12.
I'm named Tiffany but it's not after the jewelry it's after a boat.
Tiffany Lynn well that sounds more fun & exciting!
Maybe that boat was made by Tiffany. 😁
I recently went to the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum in Florida which houses one of if not the largest collection from Louis Comfort Tiffany. It's definitely worth visiting.
I just love them, I get a new piece each year for my birthday
Lucky you! Get it girl
wow!! did you see that gorgeous necklace with the diamond sun, moon and stars??!!! I was visualizing me wearing it and I almost fainted...I am in awe of the natural beauty and craftsmanship...thank you...I feel so blessed right now.
Tiffany is the only internationally recognised luxury brand in America.
The most precious diamond is actually Portuguese. Biggest and most precious.
They simply get it right.
The New Jersey burn was hilarious! 5:02
Breakfast and Tiffany's and bottles of bubbles...
lashes and dimonds, ATM machines..
que se yo buy myself all of my favorite things
Wow! I had no idea of the history of the company. Interesting.
Got an interview with this company in a few hours, thanks for the info
Wow so beautiful...rocks
Micheal Kowalski "THE BEST CEO EVER" 👍🏽
Yeah that guy was really cool and you could tell he loves his job
I designed and manufactured original jewelery for Tiffany's.
What I love about Tiffany is they provide silver jewels which is kinda rare in jewellery industry
I wonder how well a company which sells a ring for $10 million pays the people doing the dangerous work to excavate their jewels.
leslie donahue Probably no different that the big Share Holders and CEO’s of the fast food places you drive thru pay the folks that serve you the food you eat? Really!
Acutally tiffanys is known for their strict Rules when buying diamonds going to great lenghts to Not buy blood diamonds
Actually Tiffany is NOTORIOUS for having extremely strict guidelines for their mined diamonds. Before virtue signaling, you should do a little bit of research. Now you just seem like a petulant child.
Wow history really involved in succession
Never saw something at this store I wanted
You can’t disrespect Tiffany’s if you carry a dollar bill in your pocket! Tiffany by design!
Their jewelry is beautiful but a little bit expensive. I can't afford them
JojoLibra no one cares
Tiffany Trump was named Tiffany because the Trump Tower is right next to Tiffany's.
Lynn Winslow 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Kalogeropouls DT’s as cheesy with naming his children as he is with styling his comb over or opening his mouth for that matter!
Mermaid Flying -_- dry af
Victor...my dragonfly...Tiffany...Lil Blu...
Wow..
0:43 she looking him up and down like HE'S for sale!
I would love to have a lamp one day.
I think you mean alot a bit expensive.
What about Tiffany signature diamonds, are the stones actually engraved?
The correspondent has the same way of speaking as Janice from The Sopranos
Me Too !!!!!!!
you want beyond rare.... only one in the world...I got an 1880 coney island jockey club members pass non transferable # 12 made by tiffany @ co. still in great shape rarest number by far its worth a million like I said only one in the world... museum piece
INEVITABLE TOMMY That sounds so cool!!!? Pic? Can pics be shared on here?
love
I m in love
I like how they still white wash the truth and say the diamond was discovered when it really was stolen from Africa after someone was forced to mine for it and never received a profit off of it but was lucky to keep a hand.
Bog off with your tired liberal whining. What you say is false and so do some research before hitting the reply button.
TEA
skirts365 really? I did not know that
@@roberthicks2520 Research DeBeers company history, It's still happening today
New friend heeeere ❤️❤️
This reporter is so cute
Not surprised at all that the founder of the yellow diamond was ripped off
raven d Question... what differentiates a “Yellow”Diamond from a GIA rated Z+? Just curious?
@@mermaidflying1297 "Yellow diamonds are considered to be a colored diamond and graded as “Fancy” when they fall outside the D-to-Z range (colorless to light-yellow). A Fancy grade means that the yellow diamond must have more color than the Z masterstone. The GIA Colored Diamond Grading System assigns yellow diamonds one of six color grades: Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Dark, Fancy Deep, Fancy Intense, and Fancy Vivid."
4cs.gia.edu/en-us/blog/yearning-yellow-diamonds/
reicirith very interesting & thank you for sharing your knowledge. I had not heard of yellow diamonds as a child & my Dad had a small lapidary set up ( just hobby ) so I was able to learn a little. I just always thought that scale was invented in order for someone with enough pull in the GIA to get Poor Color Quality, treated as a “Fancy” diamond. Lol~ sounds silly on my part I’m sure ... so again. THX!!!💯
R. Bliss who discovered it!?
I just love Tiffany & CO!
I wish they adjusted for inflation on those numbers
I haft a pair of Tiffany necklaces
🖤🖤🖤
Maybe next life I’ll have a good husband who spoils me rotten and buy me a gorgeous Tiffany diamond ring.
Sophia’s Vlogs Precious those are most definitely not indicative qualities to describe “a good husband”! I promise you... I know first hand! Literally
A good husband would not spoil you, instead they would save the money so you both would spend time together instead of working for most of your days.
Junk Food Qween well, I don’t have a husband who spend times with me nor buy me anything. Those are all wishful thinkings to me.
Sophia’s Vlogs Well I wish the best for you in the future!
Sophia’s Vlogs girl, you don’t need a husband to buy you anything. Save up and buy it yourself!!
Lincoln: Give me a discount
Tiffany's owner: I'm sorry sir no one gets a discount at Tiffany and Co.
Lincoln: But I'm Abraham Lincoln, President of the USA
Tiffany's owner: Okay Abraham Lincoln, President of the USA, no one gets a discount at Tiffany and Co.
Diamonds are not rare, in fact gold is actually more rarer. Problem is Tiffany & De Beers horde the stones and control their release into the market then sale them at an over inflated price. Problem is, marketing is so effective at making people buy into a product and idea that is absolute nonsense. At one point, one is not buying quality or better standard but the brand name.
Who does not love Tiffany's!
From the mesmerizing scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's to the red carpet of The Oscars to the precious little beautiful box so elegantly wrapped it is synonymous with class elegance and childlike beauty of innocence.
Tiffany's Harry Winston the two names that spell guaranteed perfection!
Fascinating history great video thank you for sharing!
How is no one talking about their CEO has the same name as a monster inc character?
Or similar
Sophiedoodle ok I’m as wrong headed as blonde headed on this topic? What’s his name? Too tired to google but I can. Curious?
Went into a Tiffany once, bought a necklace but the lady was terribly rude. Maybe I wasn’t dressed the way they like. But she was RUDE. Doubt anyone who don’t purchase anything would get any sort of welcome.
Lol i walk in there in my yoga pants with my dog and they have always been wonderful to me.
Pretty rocks.
♥️
Tiffany makes Eyeglasses frames now. They're black on the outside and have that signature blue on the inside. I purchased a pair. They're pretty, but it's only been a year and I have to tighten the screws about four times a week. It's very poor quality.
Chaos Churros Take them BACK! They pride themselves on their warranties, no?
@@mermaidflying1297 I didn't get them from Tiffany's though. I got it from my optometrist.
Chaos Churros I got ya. However since it’s their product and do not require a proof of purchase receipt maybe they carry some in various stores you could exchange for? Just a thought! I can’t stand to spend extra money for something I could’ve purchased way less, and it be messed up in any way that inconveniences me! Lol... but then again, if I buy expensive frames, it’ll only take me two weeks to lose them so I just have to buy cheapos! Lol
@@mermaidflying1297 That might work lol. I would like to return them because Eyeglasses frames are so expensive and I can't see without them so if I'm gonna spend the money anyway I would like to spend it on something sturdy
Chaos Churros won’t hurt to try! 👍🏻❤️
Tiffany is not a synonimous with class if it's your name.
Interesting
I love it when Americans say how old things are with such reverence. "One hundred and seventy five years!" It's very sweet.
Because it is old you fool. Obvioulsy your a Brit? Compared to other countries like Australia and Canada, The United States has bags of history filled with historic buildings, world renown names etc.
@@piusx8317 Australia has an unbroken tradition of oral history going back sixty thousand years so I'm not sure how you think a hundred and fifty year old shiny rock beats out the birthplace of a civilisation. Also I just made a comment about how the lady in the video was being cute, I don't get why you're being so hostile!
@@ArtemisScribe How exactly is Australia the birthplace of civilisation? Australia isn't nearly old enough as a country. Also you completely lost me on the long tradition of 'oral history'. What exactly do you mean? I was referring in my reply that an 150 year old jewellery store that is well know worldwide isn't something you'd find in the countries I previously mentioned. Also I'm not being hostile so please explain why you think I am.
@@piusx8317 I said A civilisation not ALL civilisation. And yes people have lived in Australia for 60,000 years. Also in my original comment I was talking about the age of things in general which is why I find the reverence for something that's only 175 quite sweet. You're the one limiting this to very specific countries and very specific things. Which is why I find your response hostile. And also the fact that you came out of nowhere to call me a fool and get angry about me finding a little cultural quirk sweet.
Utterly I C O N I C beyond words. One of the first American ICONS.
❤😘❤
3:49 Hmm. This reminds me of something. I can't quite put my finger on it.
Is it the necklace that Lady Gaga wore at the Academy Awards?
highest quality jewelry !!!!!!!!
Oh to be financially stable enough for all that
what was that last blue stone called?
Of the origins of Tiffany's, the company historian says "They started in 1837. Their two dads gave them each the grand sum of $500 & they opened Tiffany & Co with a capital of $1000". He's trying to sell it as humble beginnings, but $100 in 1837 is worth about $2500 (in 2017), which means their parents were able to give them $25,000 to start their business.
Charles Tiffany's father, Comfort, was well-off. He owned a cotton mill on the Quinebaug River in Connecticut. The vast majority of the human beings working in that cotton mill were children under 10 years old. They worked 69 hours per week, for which Comfort Tiffany paid them (in 1831) $1.50 per week. The reason so many children worked is because they had to help feed & support their families. You will understand this when you see the wages that Comfort Tiffany paid to the adults. Of course, because these children worked almost 70 hours per week, they could not attend school & get an education.
Comfort Tiffany paid women $2.20 for a 69 hour work week, and he paid men $5.22 per week. In today's dollars, that means for a 69 hour work week, Comfort Tiffany paid children about $40 per week, women were paid about $50 per week, and men approx $125 per week. Imagine working 69 hours for the next week, & all you get at the end of the week is $40 to feed your family. Charles Tiffany worked in his father's company store, which probably charged mill workers exorbitant prices to claw back the pittance they were paid in wages. ( www.killinglyhistorical.org/museum/village-vignettes/life-in-a-19th-century-mill-town )
Mill workers--mostly women & children--laboured in horrific conditions that often resulted in injuries & death, & certainly shortened their lives. And I haven't even talked about the genuine nightmare at the heart of the wealth of people like Charles Tiffany's father, Comfort: SLAVERY. The cotton mills that created incredible wealth for a few families in the north fed on the bodies & minds & souls of enslaved Black people who worked the cotton fields of the south.
The house of Tiffany was funded via profits from US slavery & child labour. Slick packaging & a 'romantic' backstory might mask this truth, but it can't be denied.
johnnydtractive right there with you brother ✊🏾
Really couldn’t possibly care much less
As is likely the backstory to countless other American companies. It is what it is. It can't be changed. Take your business to whoever you wish.
3:50 uhhhh interesting choice of display "package" ha! 😅
Rebelle Fleur grow up
