Tiffany & Co. welcomes summer
with cheery bottle-shaped pendants by Elsa Peretti, the celebrated designer’s
first jewelry design and one of her most recognized and celebrated creations.
Handcrafted in whimsical new shapes and adorned with precious metals and
gemstones, these distinctive pendants are the perfect accent for your
décolletage during the warm-weather season.

In addition to the classic open
Bottle pendant, new Bottle pendants for 2011 include cute rotund models in
sterling silver or 18 karat gold, and square and jug shapes in sterling silver.
Other Bottle shapes reflect Peretti’s love of gemstones, with new hand-carved
stoppers in turquoise, lapis lazuli or black jade. All of Elsa Peretti’s Bottle
pendants pair naturally with this summer’s loose, flowing silhouettes.

These new pendants were inspired
by Peretti’s visits to Portofino in the 1960s and the beautiful, sun-kissed
women she saw there. Elsa Peretti wished to create a bottle that would encapsulate
the free spirit she witnessed there for posterity, and turned to timeless
designs based on antique bottles for inspiration. The organic quality of this
initial sketch would become an enduring signature of her jewelry, imbuing her
Bottle pendants with a sculptural, tactile beauty. 

So go ahead and surprise your special lady with an impromptu gift this summer: a robin-blue box containing one of these lovely bottle-shaped pendants.
