Tiffany Titan: Having collaborated with Tiffany & Co. for the second time, Pharrell Williams has developed a spectacular collection that refers strongly to mythology and strength belonging to the sea.
Drawing inspiration from Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, Williams’ Tiffany Titan collection demonstrates both the power and grace of the artist himself, who has been very much associated with water through his works. This is in unison with the aesthetics of the revered jewelry brand Tiffany & Co.
Having been raised in Virginia Beach in the appropriately known area of Atlantis, Williams goes on to explain that water has always been a recurring factor in his life and creations.
He has brought this natural affiliation with the sea to his just-launched collection for Tiffany & Co., which features freshwater pearls, diamonds, and well-polished metals in what can be described as a contemporary reference to the old sea god.
The Mythological Inspiration of Tiffany Titan:
Williams’ Tiffany Titan collection resembles Poseidon’s trident in the spear-like pendant on the earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. These pointed geometric parts are supplemented with delicate, convex chains of intertwining links in a powerfully mutually inspiring concatenation of power and elegance.
This contrast is at the heart of the Tiffany Titan concept, with a Metal shoulder that fuses with a Pearl shoulder’s organic beauty. Starting with this collection, the brand added freshwater pearls alongside the diamonds to bring mysteriously luxurious tones to the jewelry pieces.
The Legacy of Pearls at Tiffany & Co.
Pearls were not just a matter of design; they had real symbolic meanings to Williams. As Williams points out, in Japan, there is a myth that pearls are tears shed by water animals, especially those who live in aquatic areas; Williams wishes to symbolize its relationship with water via pearls. This symbolism fully correlates with Tiffany & Co.’s history of pearl products, created in 1837.
Throughout history, Tiffany & Co. has been known for some of its great pieces of jewelry that had pearls incorporated into them. For instance, President Abraham Lincoln presented a pearl suit to his wife at the inaugural ball in 1862. In 1965, a great designer at Tiffany’s, Jean Schlumberger, included rare saltwater pearls in his Bird collection. Williams’ Tiffany Titan collection maintains this tradition by freely applying his 21st-century mythology to the tried-and-true techniques of delicate pearl working.
Key Pieces from the Tiffany Titan Collection:
Currently, a Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams forum displays a couple of metals with such novelties as freshwater pearls and diamonds. Among the important highlights, it is worth noting the presence of a statement necklace, in which almost one karat of diamonds is integrated. This piece is perfect for embodying the delicate and the tough inherent in the collection because it combines gold spike rondelles with pearls to create an interesting play between the hard and the soft.
Another of Williams’s chief works is a bracelet studded with two karats of diamonds; the artist’s capacity to integrate luxury and meaning is again revealed here. From the burnished metals and diamonds, we see the contrast of pearls, which signifies the power as well as the allure of the sea.
