Look through all of the photos and make sure you have no doubts when purchasing these unique pieces of art. Some history: These iconic pieces have a rich history rooted in the designer's unique vision and personal experiences. Peretti signed a contract with Tiffany & Co. In 1974 and remained a featured designer until her death in 2021. Her designs are known for their organic forms and appreciation of the human body.
Inspiration and Design The inspiration for the "Bone" design dates back to Peretti's childhood in Rome. As a child, she visited the cemetery of a 17th-century Capuchin church where rooms were decorated with human bones. She would reportedly steal bones as souvenirs, a memory that stayed with her.
Peretti analyzed bones in detail for many years before transforming them into her iconic collection, which included the Bone Cuff and these candlesticks. The design was first introduced around 1970. Production Details The candlesticks have been produced in various sizes and finishes over the years, including sterling silver, terracotta, and the crystal/glass version pictured.
