Tiffany & Co. and Daniel Arsham Transform Pennies into Masterpieces

Tiffany & Co. and renowned artist Daniel Arsham have once again merged the worlds of jewelry and sculpture with their latest collaboration: the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel. A true work of art, this exclusive item is a reinterpretation of the humble penny, transforming it into a luxurious and collectible masterpiece. Only 39 of these unique pieces were created, each meticulously hand-finished in New York, making them a rare addition to any collection.

Art Meets Craftsmanship

Inspired by the 1885 Great Seal penny and his own 2013 Study of the Eroded Penny, Arsham incorporates polished crystal veins that break through a greenish patina, giving the penny an aged and eroded appearance. The design evokes the sensation of an artifact discovered in a future archaeological dig, yet it feels strikingly modern due to Arsham’s signature fractured motif.

The Hidden Jewel

Inside each penny vessel is a hidden treasure: a Tiffany & Co. HardWear necklace designed by both Arsham and Tiffany’s studio. Crafted from 18-karat white gold, the necklace is encrusted with over 1,000 diamonds and 500 tsavorites, totaling nearly 10 carats of sparkling gems. The necklace itself draws inspiration from Tiffany’s 1962 archive, giving the entire piece a sense of timelessness and luxury.

Packaging and Exclusivity

Each Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel is delivered in a specially designed Tiffany Blue art-handling crate, complete with a matching box and co-branded gloves. This presentation elevates the vessel to the level of a sculpture as much as a jewelry box, reinforcing the idea that these pieces are much more than just accessories—they are truly exclusive works of art. The vessel and necklace set encapsulate the essence of both Tiffany’s fine craftsmanship and Arsham’s innovative artistic vision.

Limited Edition

With only 39 units available worldwide, the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel represents a rare opportunity for collectors and art enthusiasts alike to own a piece of history, blending the past, present, and future in a single, extraordinary item.
