I'm Convinced This Iconic Bracelet Will Be Fashionable Forever

At Who What Wear, our ultimate goal is to help you shop smarter—whether it's identifying the items you can get away with buying on a budget or the premium pieces that, although they come with higher price tags, we consider to be worth the investment. Fine jewellery always makes for a wise investment, particularly when it comes from one of the world's most iconic luxury jewellers.

Founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in 1837, Tiffany & Co. has become a bijoux institution whose popularity has seldom wavered. Why? The jeweller has been one of the most adaptable in the luxury market.

Having debuted in 2014, the Tiffany T collection was created by Francesca Amfitheatrof and served as her first collection as a design director for Tiffany & Co. Inspired by the women of New York and the bustling city itself, simplicity was integral to Amfitheatrof's vision. "I wanted to create a symbol for modern life and the relentless energy that flows through New York and drives art and culture around the world. This is just the beginning of what I want to accomplish," Amfitheatrof said at the time of the Tiffany T collection's launch. This "symbol of modern life" has been proven to have enduring appeal amongst style types.

The design features minimalist lines, hidden mechanisms, and the distinctive, bold shape of the letter "T" cleverly and subtly representing the Tiffany & Co. branding. The Tiffany T collection boasts everything from necklaces to rings, but the Tiffany T bangle is, without a doubt, the most in-demand piece.

The uncomplicated aesthetic of the Tiffany T bangle makes it a hit with pared-back style enthusiasts, while the unmistakable "T" emblem serves as a status symbol for those who live for labels. This broad appeal has cemented the bangle as a timeless classic and has made it a piece that every jewellery aficionado wants to own.

Today, the Tiffany T bangle comes in rose, yellow, white gold, and sterling silver and in various thicknesses. Some of the pieces in the collection are also adorned with pavé-set diamonds. So whether you're looking to layer or would rather focus on one statement piece, there's a Tiffany T bangle to suit you. The big question is, is it worth it? Even if you have a luxury budget (or no budget at all!), a T bangle is a purchase that needs to be made with consideration. The most "affordable" designs come in at just under £2,000 with those encrusted with diamonds ringing in in the tens of thousands (the highest on site currently sitting at £35,500). Having kept an eye on the market, I can tell you that the Tiffany T bangle only continues to increase in cost (some exclusive styles at up £5K since last year), and the resale demand remains incredibly buoyant. So, if you're looking to make a luxury jewellery purchase, this could be a sound one.
