Tiffany T

The capital T of the house name, pared down to a bar, becomes the clasp, the terminals and the whole motif of a bangle or ring.

Tiffany T looks forward from its archive: Francesca Amfitheatrof's first collection for the house, in 2014, drew a capital T into a bar and made it the clasp and ends of a bangle, later redrawn as T1 and T Smile. Monete looks back two millennia. Bulgari sets genuine Greek and Roman coins in heavy gold frames, keeping the wear of centuries, a practice Nicola Bulgari revived in the 1960s, and sometimes hangs them on Tubogas chokers, an ancient coin on a twentieth-century coil.
