A rare and substantial piece from Elsa Peretti's equestrian series for Tiffany & Co. — a full belt in black leather with a large sculptural 18k yellow gold horseshoe buckle and 18k gold pin. The buckle measures approximately 2.5 x 1.5 inches and weighs 37.5 grams of 18k gold combined with the pin — significant gold content by any measure. The belt has been recently professionally serviced by Tiffany & Co.: the buckle polished, the leather strap cleaned and presenting with a beautiful sheen, virtually unworn in appearance. Leather strap measures 44.5 inches in length and 20mm wide.
A piece that sits at the intersection of fine jewelry and fashion — the horseshoe buckle is rendered with the same organic, rounded quality that defines all of Peretti's work, its sculptural form instantly recognizable as hers. At an estimated retail of $30,000, this belt represents one of the most ambitious and collectible pieces in the Peretti for Tiffany canon. It surfaces extraordinarily rarely on the secondary market.
Elsa Peretti's equestrian designs for Tiffany & Co. draw on her deep love of horses and her years spent in Spain, where equestrian culture is deeply embedded in daily life. The horseshoe motif — a universal symbol of good fortune — is transformed here into a work of wearable sculpture in solid 18k gold.
Condition: Very Good — recently professionally serviced at Tiffany & Co. Buckle polished to a high shine with some minor dents present — please refer to images and video. Leather strap cleaned and presenting beautifully with slight indentations from previous use consistent with a worn belt. Hallmarks present and clear on both buckle and pin.
