Tiffany & Co. (Tiffany for short) once again launches the latest joint design with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham! This collaboration is based on the artist’s bronze rust sculpture “Venus of Arles” on display at Tiffany’s The Landmark flagship store in New York, creating a limited edition 18K white gold T1 bracelet set with tsavorite and diamonds and an Arsham composite media bust. The statue set is limited to 186 copies to celebrate the 186th anniversary of the Tiffany & Co. brand. The set will be launched globally in limited quantities in December this year.
The bronze rust-style Venus of Arles statue presents the artist’s most iconic “Future Relics” aesthetic spirit of future archeology, creating the tension of time through the rust texture and hand-processed patina that is similar to the Tiffany Blue color scheme. When Daniel Arsham visited the collection of the Louvre, he was deeply attracted by the Venus of Arles, a statue dating back to the first century AD, and then created this bronze rust sculpture, which was exhibited by Tiffany at the famous London art gallery Saatchi in 2022. Vision & Virtuosity was exhibited at the same exhibition and can currently be seen at Tiffany’s The Landmark flagship store in New York.
When you open the bust of Venus of Arles in this limited edition set, you can see that it contains a Tiffany 18K white gold T1 bracelet, inlaid with a total of 105 diamonds weighing more than 1 carat and more than 74 tsavorites weighing more than 2 carats. The bright green color of the stone cleverly echoes the patina of the bust and Arsham Studio’s signature color. Only when you open the statue will you find the ingenuity of the bracelet, which is consistent with Arsham’s future “discovery” aesthetic concept. The set is shipped in a special outer box made of metal Tiffany Blue® artwork, and comes with limited edition white work gloves individually packaged in a blue box.
