Tiffany & Co. Coral and Turquoise Peruvian Brooch by Donald Claflin

Vividly imaginative and impeccably crafted, this extraordinary Tiffany & Co. brooch captures the colorful elegance that defined Donald Claflin’s designs for the house. Inspired by a pre-Columbian Peruvian figure, the brooch combines carved coral and vibrant turquoise cabochons with round brilliant cut diamonds totaling 2.75 carats, all set in 18K yellow gold. The brooch reflects Claflin’s fascination with mythology and global motifs, themes that he reinterpreted through a distinctly modern lens. An American designer who previously worked for David Webb and Van Cleef & Arpels, Claflin joined Tiffany & Co. in 1965, where he brought a bold new sensibility to the firm’s collections. Alongside Jean Schlumberger, he helped redefine Tiffany’s design language, blending technical mastery with a sense of joy and storytelling that remains instantly recognizable today.
