Tiffany & Co’s new Tokyo exhibition

American jewellery house Tiffany & Co has unveiled its latest spectacle, the Tiffany Wonder Exhibition, at Tokyo Node gallery.

Guests can embark on a visual journey through hundreds of its masterpieces within 10 curated rooms. They will be able to explore the brand’s heritage, creativity and craftsmanship through iconic jewellery pieces, such as the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond and relics of pop culture, such as the first Blue Book mail order catalogue.

There will also be nearly 300 never-before-seen objects, including a rare George Paulding Farnham for Tiffany & Co orchid brooch with enamel, emeralds, diamonds and pink sapphires, as well as the Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co Plumes necklace, set with diamonds, rubies and sapphires.

Tiffany & Co’s connection with Japan traces back to its inception in 1837, when founder Charles Lewis Tiffany introduced select imported Japanese goods to his clientele.

This early embrace of Japanese artistry laid the groundwork for a profound influence on the house’s renowned designers, such as Edward C. Moore and Elsa Peretti, who drew inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of Japan in their creations.

Tiffany Wonder will run until June 23. Tickets, priced at 2,000 yen (S$17.80) for adults, are available on the Tiffany & Co app.
