In June 1974 Elsa Peretti's designs debuted at Tiffany and have been celebrated by many since then. The beautiful Elsa, who was a model for Halston and others before she started her career in design, gets the inspiration for her revolutionary jewelry from nature itself: bones, beans, hearts, shells, snakes and teardrops.
This 18 karat 'Donut' bangle by Elsa Peretti can be yours for $6.500,- and makes a timeless accessory for many occasions. Now that's a donut we'd like to have for breakfast at Tiffany's.
bangle: black lacquer over Japanese hardwood ($325,-), bangle: 18k gold ($6.500,-) and bone cuff bracelet: 18k gold ($5.500,-)
