Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) is a U.S. jewelry and silverware company founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young in New York City in 1837 as a “stationery and fancy goods emporium”.

The store initially sold a wide variety of stationery items, and operated as Tiffany, Young and Ellis in lower Manhattan. The name was shortened to Tiffany & Co in 1853 when Charles Tiffany took control, and the firm’s emphasis on jewelry was established.[1] Tiffany & Co. has since opened stores in major cities all over the world.

As part of its branding, the company is strongly associated with its Tiffany Blue color, which is a registered trademark.
