Just weeks after announcing their Pokémon capsule, Tiffany & Co. and contemporary artist Daniel Arsham are teaming up once again. This time, to present a limited-edition T1 Bracelet and amalgamated Bust of Venus of Arles in tribute to the jewellery house’s 186 years of artisanal excellence.
Firstly, a custom-made Tiffany Blue art-handling crate with metal hardware encases the duo. Make sure you perform the unboxing with the accompanying dual-branded white handling gloves. Waiting within to greet you is a bust that reimagines the artist’s eroded Venus of Arles bronze sculpture.
Channelling Arsham’s Future Relics aesthetic and multiple Tiffany elements, the work of art is cast in bronze and stainless steel, before being hand-finished with a custom patina reminiscent of the iconic Tiffany Blue hue. Continue the unboxing by lifting the top half of the sculpture. Inside, you’ll discover the limited-edition Tiffany & Co. x Arsham Studio T1 Bracelet.

Every jewel on the exclusive 18K white gold bangle is painstakingly set by hand. That’s a whopping 105 diamonds totalling over one carat and over 74 vivid green tsavorites totalling over two carats. Tsavorite, the Tiffany legacy gemstone, also hints at the accompanying bust’s patina, aligning with the artist’s aesthetic vocabulary of future discoveries.
Tying back nicely to Tiffany & Co.’s 186th anniversary, the collaboration boasts a limited series of 186 sets, which will be available globally from December 2023.
