I would love to know too! Right now I just follow this account on Instagram


Hi all, haven’t posted in TPF for a while… Elsa Peretti is absolutely my favorite jewelry designer and I have gathered quite a collection over the years. I’d love to see some of the other vintage and rare pieces that other collector’s have. Does anyone know of any sites outside of TPF where collectors are sharing this info, or any knowledge of an archive with photos and information on pieces? Thanks!

I was fortunate to be invited to a Peter Marino Art Foundatiin dinner held and hosted by Tiffany last week. (My former SA from another premier brand was recruited for one of Tiffany’s specialized departments, which was the reason for the invite. At the end of the dinner, one of the managers showed me this staircase, which he said was inspired by an Elsa peretti necklace :smile:. He specifically pointed out the dots on the staircase and mentioned infinity… I wasnt sure if he was referring to diamonds by the yard or not. Should have asked,but the moment passed

Vintage Peretti Jade thumbprint. This is a really old piece I think. It has the older style clasp (which I usually sub for another chain because I'm so worried it will fall out) and is a a really lovely piece of Jade. I've never seen one like it before - maybe this was an early incarnation of her later "thumbprint"? Any thoughts or reference I'd love to know!

Congrats on your find, beautiful jade! :flowers: I had a Peretti chain with that style toggle clasp, it was from the 90s. I found it to be secure and had no trouble with it. I think the toggle design is so pretty and elegant.

Not mine - yet, but may favourite picture of it, Peretti's scorpion necklace on probably one of the most beautiful models ever from 80s/90s (Michaela Bercu) also with the iconic split Bone cuff

I have this! It’s amazing. I never thought I’d own it but it came up for auction and no one bid against me. I just wish I had more occasions to wear it.

How fantastic!!!! Congratulations on a bargain and a beauty.

There are two sizes available on the website, the larger one available even converts into a shorter necklace from a longer (I don't know if it's the one pictured but it's the same size). Unfortunately, it's over £7K new - so I too shall be looking pre-loved.

That’s the one I have, the scorpion comes off and the necklace becomes a choker…
