DIAMOND JUBILEE

The official, brilliant yellow Tiffany Diamond—128.54 carats—was procured from South Africa by Charles I Lewis Tiffany in 1878. This month, in honor of the jeweler's 175th anniversary, the gem will be set on a necklace of white diamonds and welcomed back to its permanent home, at Tiffany & Co. Fifth Avenue, in N.Y.C. Debuting next month is the company's exquisite anniversary collection, including morganite pieces named after avid collector and financier John Pierpont Morgan, (tiffany.com)
