Thanks for sharing this @headlight . RIP Ms. Peretti. I don’t have many of her pieces but her Tiffany Starfish earrings were prized possessions of teenage me. I still wear them in the summer and am always surprised at how many people notice their design!

Her designs made many people happy and she will live on through the many pieces she designed.

Sad...I love her designs and have lots of her old school Tiffany pieces in silver and gold...

My children bought me the bean necklace, and earrings. I always called my children my little beans..That’s so sad...

RIP Elsa Peretti. My kids have her designs and so do I .

Very sad. Some comfort perhaps is that she knew her creations were loved and admired.

Of "bone cuff" fame? That's sad!

Ha, I think “diamonds by the yard” would have been a better line to highlight for many reasons.
I’m sad for the loss. I have some of her pieces and covet others (including the bone cuff). I happen to be wearing her faceted two carat earrings right now.

I think I've worn an Elsa Peretti design almost every day for over 20 years. An amazing artist.
