RAPAPORT... Tiffany & Co. provided a preview of its Christmas 2012 gift line, featuring handcrafted jewelry, diamonds and colorful gemstones. This year, the Rubedo™ metal, a unique innovation debuting in Tiffany 1837™ jewelry designs in honor of Tiffany’s 175th anniversary, adds rose luminescence highlights to the Return to Tiffany™ heart tag on a sterling silver bracelet. Another item, a diamond contour ring, features a rare 3.04-carat, fancy intense Tiffany Yellow Diamond, mounted in a setting of white diamonds in platinum and 18-karat gold.
Earrings from Tiffany's Victoria collection enhance Christmas season fashion with four marquise diamonds forming an almost ice crystal design. To celebrate Tiffany's famed designer Jean Schlumberger, the retailer handcrafted his famous Bird on a Rock brooch setting (pictured on the right) with an 86.60-carat green tourmaline, diamonds in platinum and 18-karat gold. The new Tiffany Enchant collection (pictured below) features ornate patterns of traditional 19th-century garden gates. Tiffany designers captured the elegance of the swirling motifs in a scroll band ring of diamonds in platinum and 18-karat rose gold. This year, the Tiffany Keys Collection, inspired by keys from the Tiffany Archives  that were designed to open country manors and salons, diaries and jewel boxes, added the Open Knot Key in 18-karat rose gold, Knot Key in 18-karat yellow gold, and Open Knot Key in diamonds and 18-karat white gold. The Tiffany Gallery watch (pictured below) captures the vitality of art deco in New York City during the 1920s. This collection includes a stainless steel timepiece with stylized numerals, a black lacquer dial and Swiss-made movement. Other items include the Sabrina frame clutch in bronze, silver and gold metallic leather; Tiffany Locks sunglasses in acetate with silver metal and the Tiffany Snowflake tree ornament.
