Are Tiffany lamps and Tiffany jewelry related?
1 Answer
Yes, Tiffany lamps and Tiffany jewelry are related.
Tiffany & Co. was established in Connecticut in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young. Charles had launched the company’s famed catalogue, the Blue Book, and, with it, the firm’s signature robin’s-egg blue in 1845. In 1853, Tiffany and Young shifted their focus to fine jewelry. At the start of the Gilded Age, in 1870, Tiffany & Co. opened its flagship store at 15 Union Square West in Manhattan. While Tiffany & Co. gained renown all over the world for its designs for silver tableware, ceremonial silver and other objects, its jewelry was also a highly sought-after indicator of status and taste. Upon Charles’s death in 1902, his son Louis Comfort Tiffany took over artistic direction for the brand. Earlier, in 1885, Louis had founded the Tiffany Glass Company, a glassmaking firm, that began producing the lamps commercially in 1895. It evolved into Tiffany Studios in 1902. Louis brought his decorative eye inspired by nature to the Tiffany stained-glass lamps as well as organic jewelry designs.

Tiffany Studios New York "Abalone" Calendar Frame
By Louis Comfort Tiffany
Located in New York, NY
Tiffany Studios’s Abalone pattern calendar frame features interlaced strapwork and grapes composed of flat abalone disks. Tiffany was deeply intrigued by the iridescent qualities found in nature, such as feathers, beetles, and abalone nacre, often incorporating abalone into his early interior design endeavors. Drawing inspiration from the Book of Kells, which played a significant role in igniting the Celtic revival, Tiffany incorporated interlaced strapwork into his designs. One of the most replicated folio pages from the book featured 158 intricate interlacings of white ribbon, with some details only fully revealed under magnification.
