Tiffany & Co. is pleased to announce the limited edition Tiffany T One Bracelet & Bust, the result of a new creative adventure with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham. The items are inspired by Arsham’s work, “Eroded Bronze Statue of Venus of Arles,” currently on display at Tiffany Landmarks. Sharing ideals of innovation, exceptional craftsmanship, and rebellious creativity, Arsham and Tiffany & Co. partner to create a special T One bracelet in 18k white gold set with tsavorites and diamonds, and a mixed media statue of Arsham. We have created a limited edition series of 186 pieces, pairing busts that have been reinterpreted using techniques that combine different materials. This unique limited edition of 186 pieces pays homage to Tiffany & Co.’s 186th anniversary of outstanding craftsmanship. [Image 2
The eroded bronze statue of Venus of Arles captures the beauty of Arsham’s Future Relics, which recontextualize contemporary objects through the perspective of an imagined future. By giving the sculptures an eroded quality and a patina reminiscent of Tiffany blue, Arsham creates a tension of time. The piece originates from a statue (dating to the 1st century AD) that Arsham was drawn to when visiting the Louvre’s archives, and was part of the 2022 Tiffany exhibition “Vision & It was first unveiled at Virtuosity. It is currently on display at Tiffany Landmarks in New York.
Daniel Arsham says: “This amalgamated bust of Venus of Arles brings together various Tiffany elements to tell a story that connects the heritage, craftsmanship, and artistry that are such a big part of Tiffany’s identity. The bust, which is a reinterpretation of the original statue, opens to reveal the T-One bracelet in tsavorite. The Tiffany T-One is like a talisman of strength, and by wearing it, the courage and power one possesses is expressed. This exclusive 18K white gold T One bracelet is hand-set with 105 diamonds totaling over 1 carat and set with 74 tsavorites totaling over 2 carats. A gemstone that has been a part of Tiffany’s legacy since it was introduced to the world in 1974, the vibrant green of tsavorite seems to echo both the statue’s aged tones and Arsham Studio’s signature color. . Tiffany’s heritage of making such discoveries matches Arsham’s futuristic beauty of discovery.
The Amalgamated Bust of Venus of Arles, with its T One bracelet inside, is housed in a custom-made Tiffany blue wooden box reinforced with hardware, reminiscent of a wooden box for transporting a work of art. It also comes with a blue box containing white handling gloves with both the Tiffany and Arsham brand names. The limited edition Tiffany T One Bracelet & Bust will be available worldwide in December.
