NEW YORK jewellery house synonymous with elegance and creative excellence, Tiffany & Co. has announced its new designs from the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection, with pearls and mythology aplenty. A fresh take on freshwater pearls.
A personal collection, Williams says, “The inspiration of the collection comes from my affinity with the water; and the name of the collection, ‘Titan,’ draws influence from Poseidon, ruler of the sea, King of Atlantis. ‘Atlantis’ is also the name of the community where I grew up in Virginia Beach.”
He continues: “In Japan, it was believed that pearls were created from the tears of mythical water creatures; so I naturally gravitated towards them as a means of expressing this connection to water.”

For further nods to almighty ruler vibes expect a spear-like motif that’s set against a unique link that’s curved and soft. Playing with proportions too, the line appeals to the left-of-centre creative souls, who like to be thoroughly expressive with their jewels.
The initial launch of Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams featured 18k yellow gold or black titanium in all-metal and diamond iterations, and now, there are high-lustre freshwater pearl and diamond pieces, representing heightened craftsmanship while ushering in a new era of fine jewellery, though necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings.

After all, pearls have always been a hallmark of Tiffany® design, from the seed-pearl suite that Abraham Lincoln gifted to his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, for the presidential inaugural ball in 1862 to the rare saltwater pearls featured in the Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Bird on a Pearl capsule collection; and now we see a modern iteration.

Hero pieces in the new designs of Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams feature a statement necklace with freshwater pearls and nearly 1 total carat of diamonds, and a bracelet with freshwater pearls and over 2 total carats of diamonds. On the bracelet and necklace, spike rondelles crafted from 18k gold alternate with the pearls for a striking aesthetic.
