Elsa Peretti Tiffany & Co. 18k Gold Calla Lily Pendant Necklace

About Elsa Peretti brand Elsa Peretti is celebrated for her distinctive use of organic shapes in jewelry designs. Peretti’s glorious journey began in 1969, after she created a successful design for a perfume bottle. Five years later she signed a contract with Tiffany & Co. as a jewelry designer. Their collaboration, which is still widely popular, was taking place until the 2010s. Elsa drew inspiration from nature and the world around her to create pieces that were both innovative and elegant. Her style is called biomorphic as it was ignited by such natural shapes as pebbles and bones. She was captivated by simplicity and once famously described her process as “Take away, take away.” Peretti frequently worked with natural materials: bone, wood, and stones, which inherently had organic shapes and textures. It allowed her to create jewelry that felt connected to the earth and its elements. Peretti often incorporated fluid, curvaceous lines into her jewelry designs. These flowing shapes were reminiscent of natural forms such as leaves, pebbles, or water droplets. Her Bone Cuff, for example, featured sinuous lines that wrapped around the wrist, mimicking the organic contours of the human body. Many of Peretti's designs emphasized sensuality and tactility. Her use of organic forms was not only visually appealing but also designed to feel comfortable and sensual when worn against the skin. The Mesh collection is one of Peretti’s most popular creations. The Mesh collection Peretti was introduced to the public in 1975 as the gold scarves collection. Later on, in the 2000s Tiffany & Co. launched a limited-edition Mesh capsule collection. The fabric-like looking gold collars are wearable in many ways and are as timeless as they are versatile.
