From Audrey Hepburn’s original Breakfast at Tiffany’s script to the first modern engagement ring, Tiffany & Co. is launching an immersive exhibition in Shanghai. Titled Vision & Virtuosity, the exhibition will be a celebration of the legendary jewelry brand’s 180 years of creative masterpieces which will be open to the public from September 23 to November 10 at the Fosun Foundation, Shanghai.
In a one-of-a-kind showcase, guests will travel back in time to revisit Tiffany & Co.’s most prized pieces from the archives. Visitors will witness the exhilarating history of artistry and design that defines the luxury jewelry brand.
Chief Executive Officer at Tiffany & Co. Alessandro Bogliolo said, “Vision & Virtuosity’ is a tribute to Tiffany & Co., which has stood for masterful craftsmanship and innovative design since Charles Lewis Tiffany founded his company in New York City in 1837.”
The Vision & Virtuosity exhibition will feature 6 chapters that take visitors on a journey through history and a glimpse of what is to come.
Tiffany & Co. is synonymous with the iconic blue that represents the brand with the Tiffany Blue Box symbolizing elegance and exclusivity. While the robin’s egg takes center stage, the rest of the room will display Montana sapphires and tanzanites as a tribute to the introduction of gemstones in 1968.
