Charles Lewis Tiffany



Tiffany, Charles Lewis (1812–1902), U.S. jeweler and retailer. The stock in his first store, opened in 1839, was limited mainly to ordinary glassware and stationery, but it soon included bohemian glass, jewelry, silverware, and rare porcelain. Tiffany began manufacturing his own jewelry in 1848, and by 1870 had extended his operations to Paris and London.
