At a time when fine jewelry was dominated by formal diamonds and traditional gold settings, Peretti introduced an entirely new visual language — organic forms, sensual minimalism, sculptural silver, and jewelry designed to move naturally with the body. Most importantly, she elevated sterling silver into the world of true luxury, helping redefine modern jewelry and forever changing Tiffany’s identity in the process. By the late 1970s, Peretti had become Tiffany’s leading designer, with her collections generating enormous commercial and cultural success for the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, early archival Peretti works from the 1970s and 1980s have become increasingly sought after. Rare studio-era designs — particularly sculptural and experimental pieces produced in smaller quantities — are valued not simply as jewelry, but as wearable works of modern design. Auction results for important Peretti silver objects and rare archival forms continue to achieve strong prices, reinforcing her lasting influence on both jewelry and collectible design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular cuff is an extraordinary example of that era. Crafted from richly hand-woven black silk cords, the bracelet is finished with sculptural freeform sterling silver elements embodying Peretti’s signature biomorphic language. The substantial woven construction creates an architectural silhouette on the wrist while remaining soft, tactile, and fluid in wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculptural sterling silver toggle closure can be secured from one side and may also be fully removed and separated from the woven silk body. The reverse of the sterling silver toggle is etched with the number “93,” suggesting the bracelet may have been individually numbered or produced in limited quantities. The reverse is also signed © Elsa Peretti Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exact model appears in original 1981 Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. advertising alongside the matching necklace variation from the same collection, reinforcing its importance within Peretti’s early woven silk designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than jewelry, this piece embodies Peretti’s revolutionary approach to adornment — transforming jewelry into something tactile, sculptural, intimate, and deeply artistic. Extremely rare to encounter in this form and condition, it stands as both a collector’s piece and an important example of Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.’s modern design history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matching necklace from the same series is listed and sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basha Gold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42443178934307,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/1276\/7267\/files\/v_29497512_1779731961247_bg_processed.jpg?v=1779740998","url":"https:\/\/www.bashagold.com\/products\/vintage-elsa-peretti-tiffany-co-1981-woven-silk-silver-cuff-bracelet","provider":"Basha Gold","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
