WHY THIS PIECE

• The Bottle is one of Peretti's most conceptual designs for Tiffany... a working vessel meant to hold perfume or something small and personal, rather than an ornament shaped like one.
• Carved stone bottles are the version collectors chase. Each has to be hollowed out of solid material rather than cast, so they were produced in a fraction of the numbers of the silver bottles and rarely surface.
• In jade with an 18k top and chain, this is the top specification of the design. 
• The stone carries beautifully at this scale. At 15 x 14mm the bottle has real presence without weight, and the whole necklace comes in at just 7.5 grams.

This item ships without original Tiffany & Co. packaging but will be carefully packaged to ensure safe transit.
