Tiffany & Co.’s design director Francesca Amfitheatrof recently released her debut collection for the brand: Tiffany T. Drawing inspiration from the geometric skyline of New York City and incorporating principles of architectural engineering, the 63-piece collection of sculptural jewelry uses 18 karat rose, yellow and white gold and sterling silver to reinterpret the letter “T.” The collection is made of such boldly modernist elements as sleek, minimalist pendants; chains that dangle like link fences; stacked rings; and hinged cuffs, all with distinctive angles and curves infusing them with a refined look. Amfitheatrof says, “I wanted to create a symbol for modern life and its relentless energy that flows through New York and drives art and culture around the world.”
