 tc persons in any part of the country who 
 are known to the house or furnish satisfac- 
 tory references, careful selections of articles 
 for approval, on receiving advice as to the 
 requirements and price.

 The improvements in the manufacture of 
 American Jewelry are numerous and impor- 
 tant, and include practical adaptability to 
 use as well as higher beauty. The influence 
 of Oriental Art is seen in many of the recent 
 productions, while other schools of design 
 show the result of the better facilities for 
 studying classic art. 
 
 The novelties of London and Paris are 
 promptly secured, and examples of work 
 from India, Italy, Japan, China, Russia, 
 Spain, and other countries whose products 
 are seldom seen here, can be found in this 
 extensive stock. 
 
 The stock of moderate-priced goods is 
 unusually large, and represents the best work 
 of the principal manufacturers of the United 
 States. 
 
 The Jewelry of Messrs. TIFFANY & Co.'s 
 own design and manufacture is never sold 
 to dealers, and hence possesses a desirable 
 exclusiveness, and the resources of the house 
 
5 
 
 are unequaled for the production of designs 
 for special articles embodying individual 
 ideas, and persons desiring to express an 
 idea symbolically can receive the assistance 
 of capable designers.

 SILVERWARE. 
 
 HE Silverware of Messrs. TIF- 
 FANY & Co. has acquired an inter- 
 national reputation for practical 
 excellence as well as for rare beauty 
 of design ; and, since the awarding to them of 
 the Grand Prize at Paris in 1878, the Euro- 
 pean trade of the house has steadily in- 
 creased. 
 
 This ware is never sold to dealers, and like 
 the other manufactures of the house retains 
 its exclusive character. It is not only with 
 large or elaborate services that the most 
 scrupulous care is taken, but every article 
 that leaves the workshops possesses quali- 
 ties not to be found in ordinary wares. A 
 list of articles suitable for wedding or other 
 presents begins on page 98.

 WATCHES. 
 
 HE Standard Tiffany Watches are 
 constructed upon the latest scien- 
 tific principles, combining sim- 
 plicity, strength, durability, and 
 time-keeping qualities. 
 
 The simplicity of construction renders 
 them less liable to get out of order than 
 more complicated watches, and reduces the 
 cost to the minimum at which watches of 
 the same grade can be produced. 
 
 Each watch is adjusted to temperature 
 and position, stamped with the name of the 
 house, and fully guaranteed. 
 
 Messrs. TIFFANY & Co. have a full 
 line of Ladies' Watches in plain gold, carved, 
 enameled, inlaid, jeweled, and other cases, 
 and complicated watches as follows : 
 
 Chronographs, marking fifth of a second. 
 Chronographs, with split second.

 Repeaters, striking hours and quarters. 
 Repeaters, striking hours and five minutes. 
 Repeaters, striking hours, quarters, and minutes. 
 Self-acting Repeaters, striking hours, quarters, and 
 
 minutes. 
 
 Calendar Watches, showing the month, day of 
 
 month, and day of week, 
 and changes of the moon. 
 
 Repeaters and Timers, striking hours, quarters, 
 
 and minutes, with chron- 
 ographs, and same with 
 split second hand. 
 
 Chronographs, striking hours, and one for each five 
 
 minutes past the hour ; 
 same with split second 
 hand. 
 
 Calendar and Repeating Watches, with split 
 
 second chronographs. 
 The calendar shows the 
 month, day of month, 
 day of week, and phases 
 of the moon ; the re- 
 peater strikes the hour, 
 and one on a smaller bell 
 
for each five minutes 
 past the hour, and the 
 split second hand ena- 
 bles one to time a horse 
 at each quarter mile, or 
 accurately record any 
 fraction of time with- 
 out stopping the main 
 hand, one hand stand- 
 ing fast at the touch of a 
 spring, the other con- 
 tinuing on its course. 
 
 Especial attention is 
 invited to new bridge 
 movement Stem Wind- 
 ing Watches in 18 carat 
 gold hunting cases at 
 $100 each, and in open- 
 faced cases with heavy 
 cut crystals for $95. 
 
 They are carefully fin- 
 ished in every particular, 
 adjusted to heat and cold, 
 and are confidently guar- 
 anteed as the best value 
 for the money attained 
 in a watch. 
 
DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS , 
 STONES, AND DIAMOND AND GEM 
 JEWELRY. 
 
 S Diamond Merchants Messrs. 
 TIFFANY & Co. have long held 
 the leading position in this coun* 
 try. 
 
 Their extensive connections abroad ena- 
 ble them to obtain the most correct knowl- 
 edge of changes, in the various markets, and 
 their system of purchasing for cash secures 
 the greatest advantages as to prices. Their 
 stock is the largest to be seen in any one 
 establishment, and comprises carefully se- 
 lected Solitaire and Matched Diamonds, 
 Pearls, Rubies, Sapphires, Cat's-eyes, Emer- 1 
 aids, and all the jewels less generally known, 
 including stones en cabochon (polished, but 
 not cut in facets), which are fashionable 
 now. 
 
II 
 
 The greatest care is exercised in the set- 
 ting of their gems, and the designers and 
 modelers engaged in connection with the 
 jewelry workshops are qualified to produce 
 novel designs for special objects. 
 
 Especial attention is given to the ar- 
 rangement of Bridal Jewels ; and for this 
 purpose a large collection of choice un- 
 mounted stones is kept in stock, and rare 
 gems are secured, whenever found, in any 
 part of the world. 
 
 As all the diamond setting is done on 
 their own premises, under the supervision 
 of a member of the house, absolute secu- 
 rity is insured for jewels intrusted to . them 
 for resetting. 
 
 In connection with this department, 
 Messrs. TIFFANY & Co. have a complete 
 organization for cutting and polishing Dia- 
 monds and other precious stones. 
 
 They are constantly cutting stones from 
 
12 
 
 the rough, for their own requirements, and 
 extend their facilities to the public. 
 
 Misshapen stones, or those that have been 
 chipped or possess other blemishes, can be 
 re-cut with mathematical accuracy.

 PLATED WARE. 
 
 ESSRS. TIFFANY & Co.'s Hard- 
 metal Plated Ware is silver-sol- 
 dered in every joint, and superior 
 to any heretofore made. 
 It is more economical than ordinary plated 
 ware, and is practically indestructible by 
 family, hotel, club, or restaurant use. 
 
 Messrs. TIFFANY & Co. were the first 
 to discard entirely the use of soft solder, 
 and no weak spot or defect can be found in 
 any piece of ware made by them. 
 
 The articles are all made from special de- 
 signs, having a distinctive style, and, unlike 
 ordinary plated ware, it possesses all the 
 qualities of sterling silverware, except in- 
 trinsic value. 
 
 Elaborate services chased by the repouss^ 
 process, or richly engraved, are undistin- 
 guishable from silver, and will wear for a 
 
generation. Attention is invited to new 
 patterns of Forks and Spoons that surpass 
 in beauty and excellence anything hereto- 
 fore made. 
 
 A list of articles, with prices, is begun on 
 page 80.

 CLOCKS AND BRONZES. 
 
 ESSRS. TIFFANY & Co. devote 
 their entire second floor to an 
 unequaled collection of artistic 
 Bronzes, Clocks, Mantel Sets, 
 Vases, Candelabra, and other decorative 
 metal work. 
 
 All the best productions of art-workers in 
 metal are secured, as soon as published, in 
 any part of the world ; and besides these 
 gems of metal sculpture from abroad, they 
 have a great variety of decorative articles of 
 polished brass, etc., which are made in their 
 own workshops. This department has more 
 the appearance of an art museum than a 
 salesroom, and contains valuable examples 
 of Cloisonne, Champleve, Limoges, and 
 other enamels, repousse copper and steel 
 work, fac-similes of historical arms and ar- 
 
i6 
 
 mor, examples of Oriental art, embroideries, 
 and other articles of vertu, which combine 
 to form a most interesting and varied collec- 
 tion. A considerable list of these articles is 
 begun on page 103.

 POTTERY AND GLASS, 
 
 HE taste for works of Ceramic 
 Art, which so generally prevails, 
 may be fully gratified in the ex- 
 tensive room devoted to Pottery 
 and Glass. 
 
 Examples from every furnace of renown 
 in Europe, and many of the best works from 
 the potteries of New York, Greenpoint, Cin- 
 cinnati, and Tarrytown may be examined. 
 
 Among the recent importations are some 
 porcelain pictures of great beauty, and a 
 variety of the most curious developments of 
 the glass-workers of Venice. 
 
 Besides these finely decorative articles, a 
 large collection of breakfast, lunch, dinner, 
 dessert, and tea sets is kept in stock. 
 
 .Table glassware of simple and inexpen- 
 sive styles, as well as the most costly cut 
 or engraved glass, forms an attractive fea- 
 
i8 
 
 ture of this department, and complete sets, 
 with decanters and glasses for every kind of 
 wine, liquors, ices, etc. 
 
 Services or single pieces can be engraved 
 with cipher, crest, or other designs when 
 required.

 STATIONERY. 
 
 IFFANY & Co. furnish the cor- 
 rect styles of Wedding and other 
 Stationery. They manufacture 
 these goods on their own prem- 
 ises, and thus secure exclusiveness in style 
 and the lowest possible cost. 
 
 Capable artists are prepared to execute 
 heraldic devices, curious and original de- 
 signs for monograms, ciphers, and other 
 embossed headings, and skillful artisans 
 to execute them in correct and beautiful 
 colors. 
 
 Paper and Cards for Wedding Invitations 
 are especially prepared from one pulp, se- 
 curing a uniform texture and appearance in 
 the various thicknesses requisite. Mourn- 
 ing paper and envelopes of new patterns in 
 stock, or prepared with borders of any width 
 to order.

 Illuminated menus and dinner cards of 
 unique designs are kept in stock, or special 
 devices expressing individual ideas furnished 
 on application. 
 
 Hand-made paper of novel texture and 
 finish cut to any size ; peculiar shapes are 
 made to order when desired. 
 
 A new series of day cards, for short notes, 
 has recently been designed, the corners 
 having illuminated astronomical emblems. 
 Other day cards simply have the day in 
 plain letters printed in colors, silver or gold. 
 An extensive corps of designers and painters 
 in water and oil colors is retained, and deco- 
 rations on silk and other materials, for fans, 
 screens, sachets, menus, handkerchief cases, 
 marriage certificates, favors for the " Ger- 
 man," dinner and birthday cards, and other 
 articles are designed and finished to suit 
 individual tastes and for special occasions. 
 
21 
 
 FANCY GOODS. 
 
 NDER this general head are in- 
 cluded a variety of articles of use 
 and ornament so great as to be 
 almost innumerable. 
 Silver, gold, leather, wood, ivory, bronze, 
 amber, tortoise-shell, and other materials are 
 employed in their production. 
 
 Personal ornaments for ladies and gentle- 
 men, convenient articles for the pocket, toi- 
 let, or library, and articles for yachtsmen, 
 tourists, students, and others, are among the 
 many. 
 
 In addition to the novelties from London, 
 Paris, Vienna, and other European cities, 
 Messrs. TIFFANY & Co. make, in their 
 several workshops, goods for this depart- 
 ment of a higher class than any of foreign 
 manufacture, and specially suited to the ex- 
 pressed wants of their customers. 
 
22 
 
 A special department has been organized 
 for Traveling Bags and Toilet Fittings, and 
 bags can be arranged to suit the exact 
 wants of any lady or gentleman, avoiding 
 the annoyance of a number of useless arti- 
 cles, and the absence of some needed ones. 
 
 The toilet articles can be purchased sep- 
 arately, and furnished or unfurnished bags 
 of Alligator or Seal-skin, Russia or Mo- 
 rocco leathers are kept in stock in great 
 variety.

 the ends lap over, one 
 having a knob and the 
 other several holes, so 
 that the size on the wrist 
 may be changed for one 
 who is growing. Etrus- 
 can, $5.50 to $14.50; 
 or set with turquois, 
 $7.50 to §16.50. These 
 are suited for very young 
 misses. 
 
 Bracelets set with 
 pearls, turquois, enamel- 
 ed medallions, and all 
 the precious stones, are 
 always in stock, but the 
 variety is too great to 
 admit of detailed descrip- 
 tion. 
 
 Among the novelties 
 are some bracelets of the 
 new "hammered " gold, 
 of a rich yellow color, 
 and showing over the 
 entire surface the small 
 indentations of a ham- 
 mer blow. These are 
 made of various widths,

 and some are set with 
 diamonds or other pre- 
 cious stones imbedded in 
 the gold. Bracelets with 
 combination locks open- 
 ing to letters, $18 and 
 $20. 
 
 A pretty bracelet is a 
 band of gold, with a loop 
 at either end forming a 
 hasp, which is secured 
 by a gold padlock locked 
 with a gold key. The 
 bracelet may be placed 
 on a lady's arm by a gen- 
 tleman, who retains the 
 key, perhaps wearing it 
 as a charm on his watch- 
 chain. These are of 
 various prices, $10, $11, 
 $12.50, $16, $17,118.50, 
 $20, and $24, and richer 
 ones up to $100.

 lets clasp the arm gen- 
 tly, remaining wherever 
 placed, either on the 
 wrist, at the top of a

 glove, or oft the arm 
 above the elbow. They 
 may also be worn as 
 necklaces, easily uncoil- 
 ing and springing to- 
 gether only sufficiently to 
 remain in place. They 
 are elegantly finished, 
 and have diamond, ruby, 
 or emerald eyes. Price, 
 $70, $100, $130, or 
 $175, according to the 
 size of the coil. Some 
 with richly jeweled heads 
 from $150 upward. 
 
 Shopping Bracelet, with pencil attached, gold and 
 
 silver, some richly jewel- 
 ed. Silver, $12. Gold, 
 $60 to $250. 
 
 A very popular brace- 
 let is a patent "spring 
 bracelet" that obviates 
 the necessity for clasps 
 and requires no guard 
 chains, as it cannot slip 
 from the arm. They are 
 made of one or two 
 
PRESENTS FOR LADIES. 
 
 27 
 
 tubes of gold, either 
 plain or adorned with 
 Etruscan tracery. Some 
 of them terminate with 
 Jleurs de lis, lions heads, 
 or other devices ; and 
 lace pins and earrings 
 are made to match many 
 of the patterns. The 
 plain gold ones range in 
 price from $9.50 to $56, 
 and those enriched with 
 jewels from $30 to 
 $200. 
 
 Another novelty is the 
 1 ' Hellene " bracelet, a 
 flexible coil that has the 
 high advantage of fitting 
 itself directly to the con- 
 formation of the arm. 
 These bracelets are made 
 of Etruscan gold, many 
 being elaborately adorn- 
 ed with delicate orna- 
 mentation and some 
 richly jeweled. The 
 prices of those without 
 jewels range from $15 
 
23 
 
 PRESENTS FOR LADIES, 
 
 to $50, and the jewel- 
 ed ones from $50 to 
 $250. 
 
 A third novelty that 
 will be popular, is a 
 flexible bracelet of wov- 
 en golden wire that en- 
 circles the wrist three, 
 times and holds itself in 
 place like the serpent 
 bracelet, heretofore de- 
 scribed. The termina- 
 tions are adorned with 
 balls, either ornamented 
 with tracery or jeweled, 
 and the prices of the 
 plain ones range from 
 $30 to $65, while the 
 jeweled ones begin at 
 $65 and extend as high 
 as $250. 
 
 Medallion Bracelets. A single thin band or wire, 
 
 with a device in the cen- 
 ter. These are novel, of 
 great variety, and range 
 in price from $11.50 up- 
 wards. The most costly 
 jewels are frequently set

 in this way, with elegant 
 effect. 
 
 Brooches. The long lace-pins are now very generally 
 
 worn in place of brooches 
 of the ordinary form, but 
 stone cameos, intagli, 
 painted enamels on gold, 
 amethysts, pearls, coral, 
 and Etruscan gold and 
 enamels incrusted with 
 diamonds and set in 
 Etruscan gold remain 
 fashionable, and are usu- 
 ally worn with earrings to 
 match. The prices cover 
 a wide range, depend- 
 ing, of course, on the 
 size, settings, and rich- 
 ness. Cameo sets from 
 $75 ; enamels from $75; 
 coral from $35 upwards. 
 Etruscan gold sets from 
 $18 to $150. Some of the 
 gold sets have flowers, 
 fruits, or other designs 
 in relief of a different 
 colored gold from the 
 ground. 
 
30 
 
 PRESENTS FOR LADIES. 
 
 Earrings are smaller than 
 
 last year. Hoops with heads 
 of animals at the termina- 
 tions, not unlike those 
 found by Gen. Cesnola 
 at Cyprus, will be much 
 worn. Another novelty 
 is a hoop earring of 
 hammered gold. Plain 
 balls and balls adorned 
 with Etruscan tracery re- 
 tain their popularity. 
 
 The most popular gold 
 earrings are colored or 
 Etruscan gold, of which 
 there are many new de- 
 signs, ranging in price 
 from $8 to $20 and $25; 
 richer and more elaborate 
 ones from $30 to $75, 
 and smaller earrings for 
 young misses from $3.50. 
 
 The fac-similes of ear- 
 rings found in the trea- 
 sure temple at Cyprus, 
 the originals of which 
 are in the Cesnola collec- 
 tion in the Metropolitan 
 Museum of Art, are in-

 in price from $12 up- 
 wards.

 ready been made the

 gold, or set with jewels, 
 are proportionately high- 
 er in price.

 from $2.50 upwards ; a 
 great variety from $7 to

 elaborate ones from $20 
 upwards, including the 
 most expensive jewels. 
 
 Some, too, are made 
 of the new hammered 
 gold, with devices in 
 small precious stones in- 
 crusted in, or set with 
 diamonds, or diamonds 
 alternating with catseyes, 
 rubies, or sapphires, or 
 with the less familiar 
 semi-precious stones like 
 the hyacinth, tourmaline, 
 moon-stone, peridot, and 
 others.
