Everyone is a Creator
“To create is to bring something into existence”
“We are creators in the most profound way. Creating our experience of reality. Composing with the world we perceive”
“To live as an artist is a way of perceiving, a practice of paying attention”

Elsa Peretti (1 mai 1940 – 18 mars 2021) était une créatrice de bijoux italienne, également philanthrope et ancienne mannequin.
Elle est surtout connue pour sa longue collaboration avec la maison Tiffany & Co., pour laquelle elle a conçu des pièces iconiques comme la « Bean », le « Bone Cuff », le « Open Heart ».
Vogue l’a qualifiée comme « probablement la femme la plus accomplie à avoir œuvré dans le domaine de la joaillerie ».
Il s’agit d’un livre (souvent mentionné comme catalogue ou portfolio) publié en 1990, intitulé Fifteen of My Fifty With Tiffany & Co.
Le livre donne un aperçu visuel et historique de l’impact de Peretti chez Tiffany, montrant comment ses designs ont contribué à transformer la marque et à élargir ce que pouvait être la joaillerie contemporaine.
Il sert aussi comme document-référence pour les amateurs de design, de mode et de joaillerie, car il retrace une partie de l’histoire d’un partenariat créatif majeur.
Pour les collectionneurs, il représente un objet rare qui marque un moment clé dans le travail de Peretti et dans l’histoire de Tiffany.
Biography as a designer :
ELSA PERETTI, THE DESIGNER
A true pioneer of design, Elsa Peretti often drew inspiration from everyday items and nature. Through her vision, a bean, a bone, or an apple could be transformed into cufflinks, bracelets, vases or lighters; or scorpions and snakes could be turned into necklaces and rings. Elsa Peretti’s subtle abstractions of reality brought a fresh attitude to jewellery and set the stage for a new era in design. Her first collection for Tiffany & Co. in 1974, caused a true sensation in the jewellery world with its “sinuous”, “sensual”, and “sculptural” shapes and forms. Although Elsa’s designs are rendered in a variety of materials, she is best known for her works in sterling silver, which over the past fifty decades has elevated the precious metal to a new height in popularity in jewellery. In a 1974 issue of People magazine, Harry Platt, the great-great-grandson of C.L. Tiffany, then president of Tiffany & Co said: “we were looking for someone who could capture the mood of the young woman as well as the older woman, someone who could make jewellery that women could wear with jeans and sweaters as well as with their ball gowns”. In that same issue of People Elsa Peretti said: “what I want is not to become a status symbol, but to give beauty at a price”. Indeed, by using relatively affordable silver, Elsa Peretti made the world of jewellery accessible to many women.
