The story
The story of Tiffany & Co. began in 1837 on the streets of New York city, when two young gentleman, Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B Young, opened a small store, selling items such as trinkets and stationary.
Over the years they developed a name that has become renowned for dazzling jewellery.
