Tiffany Designer Elsa Peretti Dies At 80: Check Out Her Most Popular Pieces

Tiffany and Co. is a worldwide known high-end jewelry company that many know by its little blue boxes, and on Thursday, its famous designer, Elsa Peretti, died at 80-years-old.

Peretti met the fashion designer, Halston, when she moved to New York after a modeling career in Spain. The designer worked with Tiffany & Co. and helped Peretti get into the company in 1974, and the rest is history, according to Vogue.

While she didn’t design every piece of jewelry for the company, she did design about 10% of their pieces.

"A masterful artisan, Elsa was responsible for a revolution in the world of jewelry design. Her collections of organic, sensual forms have inspired generations," the company said in a statement. "Elsa's relationship with style and the natural world was profoundly personal and strongly reflected in her creations. Over the past nearly 50 years Elsa has created some of the most innovative jewelry and object designs in the world."

Here’s a look at some of the most popular lines she designed while with Tiffany & Co.

This design represents “life’s beginning,” according to the company’s website. Customers can get this shape in various necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and other items like purses and paperweights, in gold, silver or rose gold.
