Pharrell Williams and Tiffany and Co. Release Latest Phase of Titan Collection
Tahitian pearls and a new, innovative natural diamond setting complete phase three of Parrell Williams’ Titan collection.
Just last year, Pharrell Williams and Tiffany & Co. teamed up to launch a new jewelry collection, Tiffany Titan. Now comes the third and latest phase of the collaboration. A continuation of the second phase, which introduced freshwater pearls to the assortment, phase three features new Tahitian pearl designs and a new expression, the Titan Setting, showcasing an inventive prongless diamond setting.
This new Titan Setting is a reflection of Pharrell’s innovative ethos and creative mind. The unique, prongless setting features a Floating® platform to uplift the brilliance of a natural diamond. Without any visible metal, the Titan Setting gives the illusion of a hovering diamond. Pharrell Williams and Tiffany & Co. are always working towards creating the newest, innovative pieces, and this has never been more evident than in this new setting.
The Tahitian pearls represent a darker counterpart to the lighter freshwater pearls from phase two of the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection. The new styles “underscore Tiffany & Co.’s commitment to crafting exceptional jewelry using precious materials and uplifting the world’s most celebrated artists,” according to the brand.

All About Tiffany Titan
Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams is inspired by the mythological Poseidon’s trident. The bold designs are to be interpreted as an expression of one’s energy, power, and force. The motif is a uniquely shaped link that is curved and soft, a juxtaposition to the trident spear which is stiff and sharp. Pharrell also grew up near the ocean, Virginia Beach, in the community called “Atlantis.” “I’m very inspired by water, and the name of this collection, “Titan,” draws inspiration from Poseidon, ruler of the sea, King of Atlantis.”
“Jewelry is the punctuation mark of a person,” Pharrell said in regards to his new collection and partnership with the Maison. Tiffany Titan features necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings set with natural diamonds in 18k yellow gold or titanium. “The detail in all of the jewelry pieces is very intentional, the use of black titanium … it’s a physical manifestation of beauty in Blackness,” Pharrell said. Some of the diamonds in the collection are also reverse set, which adds an edge to the designs.

It represents a balance of Pharrell’s creative vision with Tiffany & Co.’s inventive craftsmanship,” adding “Each piece embodies Pharrell’s distinct style and unique point of view.”
