Elsa Peretti (b.1940) started her career as a jewellery designer whilst living in Manhattan working as a fashion model. During the late 1960s, she supplied designs for fashion houses such as Halston, Oscar de la Renta and Girgio di Sant’ Angelo. In 1971, she was awarded the Coty award for Jewellery, her work described as an “extension of jewelry into the realm of fashion sculpture.” In 1974, she started to work exclusively for Tiffany & Co.
