Thank you to Richard, Stephanie, and Howard for alerting me to the death of Elsa Peretti. As a Tiffany & Co. employee, I've become slightly familiar with our products and the Peretti line is my favorite by far. Her work is so distinctive and strong, it has such a strong voice and expression of an artistic vision.
Here's a wonderful T&Co. profile of Peretti. My favorite quote: "Jewelry is not fashion. It has to last and not be discarded as soon as something else comes along."
