Most of us are familiar with the “Tiffany blue” color – a light, robin egg blue that’s associated with the famous NYC company. Perhaps you recognize their heart-tag bracelet, inspired by a key chain they created in 1969. Or maybe you’re just a movie buff who enjoyed the late, great Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Did you know that this timeless and celebrated company also has a fine tradition in sterling silver tableware? According to their website, Tiffany has one of the world’s largest groups of silversmiths who work out of the company’s Rhode Island location. Their legacy for sterling silver tableware reportedly began around 1851 when they began producing holloware pieces.

What’s called a “rapid expansion of wealth in America” along with a simultaneous discovery of silver in the American west spearheaded the way for new and creative silver tableware designs.

New Standard in Sterling
Tiffany was the first American company to utilize the British standard for silver, which indicates the purity of the alloy. Pure silver contains 99.9% elemental silver (Ag), while sterling silver .925 means the item is made with 92.5% silver. The remaining small amount of alloy, often copper, is used to add strength to the pieces.
