The continuous creative collaboration between renowned jeweler Tiffany & Co. and acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Arsham remains enthralling, highlighted by the introduction of their latest joint project: The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel and a Limited-Edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear Necklace. This collaboration, leveraging prior achievements since 2021, once more exemplifies a stunning amalgamation of high art and superb jewelry.

This collection features The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel, a masterpiece that exemplifies Arsham’s distinctive “future relic” look. This patinated bronze sculpture reinterprets a common penny as an antique artifact, drawing inspiration from Tiffany’s 1885 redesign of the Great Seal of the United States, which was featured on American currency, and Arsham’s “Study of the Eroded Penny” (2013). Each vase, meticulously created and finished at Arsham Studio in New York City, features highly polished crystals that seem to emerge from the old patina, producing a stunning contrast that reflects the passage of time and the allure of decay. This limited-edition series comprises only 39 handcrafted sculptures, rendering each piece remarkably exclusive.

Concealed within every Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel is a coveted treasure: a limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace. This custom creation reinterprets Tiffany's renowned HardWear series, inspired by a necklace from the Tiffany archives dating to 1962. The necklace, fashioned from 18k white gold, is intricately set with over 1,000 diamonds over six carats and more than 500 tsavorites surpassing three carats. The incorporation of tsavorites, a gemstone associated with Tiffany since 1974, discreetly alludes to the vessel's bronze patina and Arsham Studio's favored green tone.



Each of these remarkable pieces is presented in a bespoke Tiffany Blue art-handling container, accompanied by a matching blue box and dual-branded white gloves, underscoring its significance as both an artistic creation and a valuable collectible. This partnership advances the limits of luxury, converting a commonplace symbol of worth—the penny—into a potent icon of fortune, opulence, and enduring artistry.
