I went to the Tiffany exhibition in London, and it was magnificent.
I want to share two photos I think us Peretti lovers will enjoy seeing.
The first photo is a collection of her pieces and old photographs. The exhibition said she made a huge impact to jewelry and "who doesn't know the iconic Bone Cuff?"
I also love the silver necklace to the left of the Bone Cuff photograph in the upper right. It is silver mesh/chain wrapping a rock crystal.
The second photo is one of the oldest known Tiffany "blue boxes" they have. The box was faded, so not exactly the turquoise blue we know. It was pretty cool though.

You’re lucky you saw the exhibit. I’m looking at the photos, and I love the Tiffany ad for DBTY with the necklaces on spools.I went to the Tiffany exhibition in London, and it was magnificent.

Yes! I saw that too, the DBTY was so cool the way they did it. The exhibition is supposed to come to NYC after London. There are seven "sections" in the London exhibit, and I read not all sections will come to NYC, not the full exhibition. Hence, I went to London as I really really wanted to see this exhibition, all sections. The exhibition book is great too; I am sure it will be available for sale online once the exhibition is over. When the exhibition comes to NYC, it's definitely worth going to see.
At the last section, the Tiffany diamond necklace that Lady Gaga/Beyonce wore is on display. There is also a small area where there is a virtual try-on, and you can take a photo of yourself wearing the necklace. Don't miss that if you go.... super cute!
Lucky! I had tickets last month but tours got changed and I couldn’t go ☹️. Thanks for sharing!I went to the Tiffany exhibition in London, and it was magnificent.

There was a Peretti exhibit in NYC in 1990. The book Tiffany issued for it was like a portfolio style, with each page a separate piece.
Thanks for sharing! I just adore the bone candlestick holder. Definitely on my home decor bucket list.I went to the Tiffany exhibition in London, and it was magnificent.

It was at the FIT museum. That book was supposed to be similar to her "sketch book" on her walls.
That exhibition book is worth hundreds now. Keep yours!
I wish I had known about that exhibition; I totally missed it.
There is a Tiffany Blue Book dedicated to Peretti called My Forty Plus Years with Tiffany. It is from 2018, so it's more current. My SA sent me a copy. Not sure if you have that one, but the photos are gorgeous. I see a few on eBay from time to time. It's like a true Blue Book, items for sale, prices, etc. It's not an exhibition catalog like yours.
I don't have your exhibition catalog, and I've thought a few times about buying one off eBay. However, the cheapest copy I've seen is around $400, and I'm not sure it's worth it to me. I've purchased other gemology and jewelry books for that amount or higher (I collect books), but I felt those were worth it. Mentally for me, I can't see paying $400+ for that exhibition catalog. Unless... you say it's totally worth it!
You are lucky to have a copy and to have seen that exhibition. Maybe FIT will do a tribute to her and have something similar.

Yes that candlestick holder is definitely so chic. Her stuff is so addicting. I think I have all the Peretti jewelry pieces I want, but now... hmm... home decor stuff is looking good!
I need to find a reason to buy something Peretti home decor.
The Bean Purse is so cool. It's like a giant bean to be held as a clutch! So gorgeous, yet so useless!
I do have the “My Forty Plus Years With Tiffany” book. Someone here tipped me off that it was available, so I went to my local Tiffany boutique and picked one up. I couldn’t believe it was free. It’s fabulous!It was at the FIT museum. That book was supposed to be similar to her "sketch book" on her walls.

I’m within easy traveling distance of the FIT museum, but for some reason that I don’t remember, I didn’t go.
I need some help and opinions. I’m debating DBTY earrings or a Jazz ring that’s retired. I’ve attached two pictures of ring, one alone and one with my engagement ring. Then one of the earring size I’m looking at.
I have a DBTY pendant in platinum and was looking at pieces to compliment.
Thanks in advance for your input!
