Tiffany & Co announces new exhibition in Tokyo

Luxury jeweller, Tiffany & Co has announced that its latest brand exhibition, Tiffany Wonder, will run for two months at Japan’s Tokyo Node gallery

Running from 12 April through 23 June 2024 at the Tokyo Node gallery in Japan, the latest immersive exhibition from Tiffany & Co will bring visitors on a visual journey through hundreds of the House’s design masterworks.

The Tiffany Wonder exhibition will present an array of the Maison’s legendary diamonds and creations, each contributing to Tiffany & Co’s story of craft and creativity, heritage and modernity.

Displays will range from one-of-a-kind masterpieces and Jean Schlumberger’s emblematic Bird on a Rock brooch, to relics of pop culture and iconic jewellery: such as the Tiffany Diamond.

Commenting on the upcoming exhibition, president and CEO of Tiffany & Co, Anthony Ledru said: “Tiffany & Co has been inspired by Japan for decades, and the House’s authentic connection and extensive history in the region has only continued to grow.

“Our latest exhibition showcases some of Tiffany’s most exceptional creations including the first Bird on a Rock brooch from 1965 designed by one of the 20th century’s most gifted designers, Jean Schlumberger.

“Uplifting the exceptional craftsmanship, unparalleled diamond authority, and inventiveness of Tiffany, the exhibition will bring the joy of the House to every visitor.”

Tiffany & Co’s relationship with Japan dates back to its earliest days in operation, in 1837, when Charles Lewis Tiffany began offering his clients select imported Japanese goods, a rare offering in the American market.

Many of the House’s best-known designers have found inspirations for their works in the arts of Japan.

Various aspects of the exhibition are dedicated to the ways in which Tiffany & Co is indebted to Japan.

The Tiffany Wonder exhibition builds on this legacy as it brings the story of the Maison to the Tokyo Node gallery, located within one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo, Toranomon Hills Station Tower.

Within the 10 rooms of Tiffany Wonder, visitors will explore themes that are central to the House’s identity, heritage, and foundations of creativity and craftsmanship.

Each section immerses visitors in the one-of-a-kind experience with nearly 300 never-before-seen objects, including a rare George Paulding Farnham for Tiffany & Co orchid brooch with enamel, emeralds, diamonds, and pink sapphires, as well as the Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co Plumes necklace – set with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.

The Tiffany Wonder exhibition concludes with the cornerstone of the House, the 128.54ct Tiffany Diamond, set in a transformable new creation inspired by the Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Bird on a Rock brooch.

“The idea of wonder has been integral to our DNA since 1837,” said Alexandre Arnault, executive vice president of product, communications & industrial for Tiffany & Co.

“Since the very beginning, each design that we’ve imagined and each piece that we’ve handcrafted has been rooted in our mission to spark wonder and inspire the world’s greatest love stories.

“Our latest exhibition celebrates this spirit in a city of great importance to Tiffany & Co: Tokyo.”

Tiffany Wonder opens at the Tokyo Node gallery on 12 April 2024, and will run through 23 June 2024.
