Elsa Peretti designed the Diamonds by the Yard® necklace shortly after joining Tiffany in 1974. It was one of her earliest and most influential creations for the House. With its clean lines and fluid simplicity, the design changed the way diamonds were worn—all day, every day and always.
Simple, delicate chain necklaces tend to complement diamond stud earrings best. A fine 18k gold or platinum chain with a single diamond accent allows the earrings to remain the focus. Elsa Peretti’s Diamonds by the Yard® collection pairs beautifully with diamond studs.
Diamond by the Yard® offers exceptional versatility. It can be worn on its own for understated elegance or layered with longer or shorter pieces for added dimension. The necklace serves as a foundational layer and complements both casual and formal attire. Its subtle brilliance makes it suitable for everyday wear as well as special occasions.
Tiffany & Co. has a zero-tolerance policy for conflict diamonds. Tiffany & Co. ethically sources its diamonds from known mines and suppliers, and the majority of Tiffany rough diamonds are from Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Russia and Canada.
Yes, this necklace was designed with everyday elegance in mind.
