Inspired by Tiffany's historical 1885 redesign of the Great Seal of the United States (which appeared on American currency) and Arsham's own "Study of the Eroded Penny" (2013), this patinated bronze sculpture reimagines an ordinary penny as an ancient artifact. Meticulously handcrafted and finished at Arsham Studio in New York City, each vessel is embedded with highly polished crystals that appear to break through the aged patina, creating a striking contrast that speaks to the passage of time and the beauty of decay. This limited-edition series consists of just 39 handcrafted sculptures, making each piece exceptionally exclusive.Hidden within each Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel lies the ultimate treasure: a limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace. This bespoke piece reimagines Tiffany's iconic HardWear collection, drawing inspiration from a necklace in the Tiffany archives dating back to 1962. Crafted in 18k white gold, the necklace is meticulously handset with over 1,000 diamonds totaling more than six carats and over 500 tsavorites totaling more than three carats. The use of tsavorites, a Tiffany legacy gemstone introduced in 1974, subtly nods to both the bronze patina of the vessel and Arsham Studio's preferred green hue.Each of these extraordinary works is delivered in a custom-made Tiffany Blue art-handling crate, complete with a matching blue box and dual-branded white gloves, emphasizing its status as both a work of art and a valuable collectible. This collaboration continues to push the boundaries of luxury, transforming an everyday symbol of value—the penny—into a powerful emblem of luck, luxury, and timeless artistry. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tiffany & Co.
