Tiffany & Co. Flagship Store

The basics

Tiffany & Co. dates back to 1837, when Charles Tiffany and John B. Young opened a store selling ladies’ jewelry and watches. Forty years later, the company rose to fame when it purchased what is now known as the Tiffany Diamond—a 128-karat, fancy yellow diamond that is considered one of the world’s finest gemstones. (Movie fans will remember that it was set into a necklace worn by Audrey Hepburn in promotional shots for Breakfast at Tiffany’s.) Fans can experience the iconic locations from the movie with the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Movie Locations Private Tour in New York City.

Visit Tiffany & Co.’s flagship store to shop for everything from engagement rings and diamond earrings to fine china and exquisite baby gifts—and to see the Tiffany Diamond, which is displayed in the store. Over the holidays, the store windows come alive with special displays.
