Tiffany & Co. fans should love the latest book by John Loring, “Tiffany
Jewels,” which recounts the complete history of Tiffany’s world-renowned
jewels. The book traces Tiffany’s beginnings as a “stationery and fancy
goods” store founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany to its revered
place as America’s first and now the world’s premier jeweler. “Tiffany
Jewels” is 240 pages, has 361 illustrations and profiles the company’s
great designers, including Edward C. Moore; Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of
the company’s founder; and Paulding Farnham, whose designs have won more
awards at international expositions than any other American jewelry
designer. The book retails for $60. Tiffany & Co. is at South Coast Plaza
in Costa Mesa. Call (714) 540-5330 for more information.
