Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Lapis Lazuli Bead Bracelet with Return to Tiffany Tag with Box - A sterling silver beaded bracelet by Tiffany & Co. featuring a single strand of approximately 4mm round lapis lazuli beads. The stones exhibit a deep ultramarine blue color with characteristic golden pyrite inclusions. The bracelet features a circular Return to Tiffany tag engraved PLEASE RETURN TO TIFFANY & CO. NEW YORK 925 on the obverse and hallmarked © T&Co. 925 on the reverse. The piece is finished with a sterling silver lobster claw clasp and includes the original signature blue box and suede-finish drawstring pouch. Length: approximately 6.7 inches. The Tiffany & Co. Lapis Lazuli Bead Bracelet from the 'Return to Tiffany' series is a piece with layered meaning: the lapis lazuli, one of the most ancient and historically significant gemstones in human decorative history, paired with the house's most recognizable identity marker. Lapis is the stone of Egyptian pharaohs, of Renaissance ultramarine pigment, of the night sky - its appearance in a Tiffany bracelet connects the house's American heritage to civilizational antiquity. Return to Tiffany lapis pieces are rarer than the standard silver examples.
