Turquoise, one of the oldest known gems, means "Turkish stone" and passed through the original trade route named by Turkey. Tiffany launched turquoise jewelry from 1860s. In the gilded age, Tiffany brooches inlaid with turquoise and pearls were the most popular wedding gifts for the bride and groom.
Founder Charles Louis Tiffany may eventually choose the bright TiffanyBlue close to it as the brand color, because it has a beautiful connection with fashion style and wedding anniversary gifts. Tiffany's tradition of making turquoise jewelry with the most beautiful turquoise continues to this day, such as silky texture and pure and even color.
Dr George koons (1856- 1932), an outstanding Tiffany gemologist in the world, has a special liking for American-made gems. In the1880s, Dr. Queens purchased bright blue sapphires from minerals excavated in Montana and included them in Tiffany's special collection of historical jewels.
Jewelry products made of these gorgeous and precious gems shined brilliantly at Tiffany's exhibition in Paris World Expo 1889, and won the gold medal, marking the first appearance of American gems. Then, at the Paris Expo on 1900, Tiffany won the grand prize again for the graceful beauty of the 9-inch Montana sapphire iris brooch.
Today, Tiffany jewelry made of these fascinating gems vividly explains the eternal blue unique to wild flowers and the vast horizon.
