Tiffany & Co. and Daniel Arsham Reunite for Stunning New Release
Daniel Arsham’s partnership with Tiffany & Co. has felt like a perfect pairing since the two joined together in 2021. Arsham — an American artist widely known for his masterful production of pieces that explore the concept of artifacts — has seamlessly continued this very exploration alongside the world’s most iconic jewellery brand. Their latest chapter together, which was unveiled this week, once again taps into Arsham’s fascination with archeology by releasing a Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel and a limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace.
Like each of their previous collaborations, the limited-edition series strikes a delicate balance between fine art and fine jewellery, comprising 39 handcrafted sculptures meticulously finished at Arsham Studio in New York City. Within each patinated bronze vessel lies an unexpected iteration of a Tiffany & Co. icon: the limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace. Really, Arsham has designed what seems to be a treasured jewellery piece wrapped in a treasured artifact. Exquisitely crafted in 18k white gold — and set with over 1,000 diamonds totalling more than six carats, and over 500 tsavorites weighing more than three carats — the necklace reimagines one of the House’s most coveted creations.

“My work explores the idea of history as a living, evolving entity, and Tiffany & Co. shares that same reverence for craftsmanship and heritage,” explains Arsham. “This collaboration has allowed me to push my ‘future relics’ concept even further, transforming an iconic symbol into something completely new. I’m incredibly grateful to Tiffany & Co. for embracing this vision.”
In producing his vision of a “future relic,” Arsham tapped into pieces and concepts that have long been a foundation of both his independent work and Tiffany & Co.’s storied archives. Inspired by Tiffany’s 1885 redesign of the Great Seal of the United States of America and Arsham’s own Study of the Eroded Penny (2013), the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel showcases the artist’s signature “future relic” aesthetic, transforming an everyday object into a powerful symbol of luck, luxury, and timeless artistry. The piece is cast in patinated bronze with striking polished crystal accents, bridging past, present, and future in a single form.

For the necklace itself, the artist once again honoured the House’s history, offering a modern interpretation of an iconic Tiffany & Co. design from 1971. The vibrant green tsavorites — introduced by Tiffany & Co. in 1974 — pay homage to both Arsham Studio’s signature colour and the rich patina of the bronze sculpture.
In true Tiffany & Co. fashion, each Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel is presented in a custom Tiffany Blue art-handling crate with metal hardware, while a distinctive Tiffany Blue Box contains dual-branded white gloves for careful handling.
