Vintage Tiffany & Co Elsa Peretti Sterling Silver Open Heart on Chain

An iconic design from one of the most influential jewelry designers of the 20th century. Elsa Peretti began her legendary collaboration with Tiffany & Co. in 1974, introducing a fresh, sculptural approach to jewelry that celebrated organic forms, graceful curves, and the beauty of simplicity. Her designs transformed sterling silver into something wonderfully modern, sensual, and timeless.

The celebrated Open Heart, inspired by the sculptural work of British artist Henry Moore, is one of Peretti's most recognizable creations. Its fluid, asymmetrical silhouette captures the essence of a heart without relying on a conventional shape, giving it an elegance that feels as contemporary today as when it was introduced.

This beautiful vintage example features a generously sized sterling silver Open Heart pendant suspended from an especially lovely Tiffany & Co. chain. The substantial weight and beautifully balanced proportions give the necklace a wonderful presence. Of all the chains in the Tiffany/Peretti collection, this particular design has always been my favorite—a distinctive finishing touch that makes this necklace especially appealing.

A timeless piece of wearable sculpture from a designer whose work continues to inspire collectors around the world.
