On Oct. 20, Tiffany & Co. and Netflix hosted an exclusive after-party for the New York premiere of Frankenstein, the highly anticipated film by Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro. 🎬 The House transformed its iconic Fifth Avenue flagship, The Landmark, with a spectacular window display. Each of the five windows, framed by the architectural design of Victor Frankenstein's laboratory, reimagines pivotal scenes from the film.

As guests arrived on the ground floor, they were greeted by video walls merged with theatrical displays of dramatic lighting, and a curated showcase of Tiffany & Co. jewels from The Tiffany Archives worn by Mia Goth in the film. 💎 There was even a fun exhibit featuring the movie’s characters and original costumes!

Guess what just landed? Tiffany & Co. has unveiled Bird on a Rock by Tiffany—a dazzling new jewelry collection inspired by one of the house’s most beloved designs. 🐦

The collection takes its cue from the beauty of bird wings—graceful, sculptural, and symbolic. Each piece celebrates individuality and nature’s asymmetry, just as Jean Schlumberger once envisioned. 💎

For fashion lovers, the collection also includes two showstopping high jewelry suites: one featuring tanzanites (a Tiffany legacy stone introduced in 1968) and the other the turquoise, another gemstone deeply rooted in Tiffany’s heritage.

Tiffany & Co. 推出全新系列 Bird on a Rock by Tiffany —— 靈感源自品牌最為經典的設計之一。該系列取材自鳥翼的美感——優雅、雕塑感十足，且蘊含象徵意義。每一件作品都讚頌獨特個性與大自然的不對稱之美，正如 Jean Schlumberger 當年所構想的那般。

該系列還包含兩套令人驚艷的頂級珠寶套裝：一套以坦桑石為主石（這顆寶石於 1968 年由 Tiffany 首次引入，已成為經典傳承），另一套則選用綠松石——另一顆深植於 Tiffany 傳統中的珍貴寶石。

Happy Chinese Valentine’s Day! 💕 Unlike the cupids and red hearts of the Western holiday, China’s “Qixi” (the 7th day of the 7th month on the lunar calendar) traces back to the star-crossed love between a farmer boy and a fairy. Although they are worlds apart, their devotion moved the heavens and the couple was granted a yearly reunion across a bridge of magpies.

But did you know? Long before Qixi became a celebration of romance, it was a festival for maidens. Girls would pray to the Weaver Maiden and test their skills in a needle-threading challenge—trying to pass thread through a seven-hole needle under the moonlight. The one who finished fastest will be blessed the whole year. 🧵🌙

This Qixi, hold your loved ones close and check out Elite’s article for more history and traditions!

Akachen Jewellery’s “The Eternal Garden” is on view at the Houston Museum of Natural Science through Sept. 28! 💕

Taiwanese artist Aka Chen is a pioneer in working with titanium, a notoriously challenging material due to its high melting point and hardness. With exceptional skill and eye for beauty, Chen transformed the metal into breathtaking works that blend the intricacy of contemporary jewelry with the fluidity of brush painting.

The exhibition features 20 stunning sculptures, from small, delicate vases to sweeping 30-foot polyptychs, where graceful branches cradle jeweled flowers and wildlife. 🌸🌿
