    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.

    About Estate Jewelry 

    Buying jewelry online can be challenging. The quality of the making has not got better over the time while the design is getting more and more generic. Add ever rising prices and you could end up with not finding anything suitable. To purchase a high-quality jewelry piece for an obtainable price consider buying estate items.

    • Quality vs Quantity

    Estate pieces mostly belong to the era when jewels were handmade and not mass produced. There were simply less jewelry makers at that time and they cared about their reputation. Opposed to the current fast fashion approach, life pace was in general slower. That allowed makers to take more time to craft a truly quality piece. 

    • Fair Price vs Overpriced

    Buying designer pieces aka signed pieces we pay not only for an item itself.  The brand advertising campaigns and all the buzz the name is creating is in the cost. Prices for estate jewelry form differently and mostly depend on the cost paid by a seller. A pre-owned Bulgari ring and a brand-new Bulgari piece have a distinct price difference. Ask your local jewelry store about the retail price of the desired piece and you’d be pleasantly surprised. 

    • True Value vs Seasonal Rush

    Pre-owned jewelry retains its value. Over the time it gets rare

    and more expensive. Think purchasing a new car that loses its value right after you left your dealer versus buying a vintage vehicle.
