Elsa Peretti

Our fourth and final Golden Girl this season is the incredible Elsa Peretti.

Described by Vogue as “arguably the most successful woman ever to work in the jewellery field", was an Italian jewellery designer and philanthropist as well as a fashion model.

Joining us all the way from Boston to discuss the legendary Tiffany designer is jewellery historian Ariana Bishop.

Ariana tells us about Peretti's early life, how she started working with Tiffany, the inspiration behind some of her most famous designs such as the Open Heart, the Bean and the Bone Cuff, as well as her collaboration with Halston and her influence on the fashion industry.

We discuss the simplicity, accessibility and wearability that are all fundamental to her designs.
