Tiffany & Co. Sterling Elsa Peretti “Open Heart” Hoop Earrings - • Designer / House – Tiffany & Co. • Collection – Elsa Peretti “Open Heart” • Metal – Sterling silver (AG 925); signed TIFFANY & CO. AG925 on each ear-wire • Gross weight – 9.9 grams (pair) • Dimensions (each) – 5cm length each • Construction / fittings – Sculpted, asymmetrical heart-outline hoops with integrated ear-wire and latch-back closure • Condition grade – AB; bright high-polish finish with scattered fine abrasions and pinpoint nicks from prior wear, no structural distortions, hinges secure and closing firmly The matched pair is rendered entirely in solid sterling silver and executed in Elsa Peretti’s iconic “Open Heart” motif, first introduced by Tiffany & Co. in the 1970s. Each earring is a single, seamless ribbon of metal that sweeps into an organic heart outline, then tapers into a concealed wire that locks inside the opposite side to form a continuous hoop when worn. The silver exhibits a high-reflective polish with light surface rubs and minute contact marks, commensurate with careful use; no dents, bends or repairs are evident. Hallmarks are crisp and fully legible. Overall, the earrings present in very good estate condition, retaining the full sculptural integrity and fluid contour characteristic of Peretti’s original design.
