At Tiffany & Co., Elsa Peretti was free to expand from silver into more costly materials. She experimented by taking her iconic designs and creating them in different shapes and sizes. Over the years, her bottle design evolved into the narrow Vial pendant (1969), the Bottle pendant (197?), and Halston’s eponymous perfume bottle (1975), which the designer hoped would be kept long after the perfume was gone, as an ornament or a vase for a single flower.

This perfume set is a tour de force of craftsmanship in miniature and includes many elements of Peretti’s oeuvre—the bottle, the thumbprint, the tassel. The carved rock crystal bottle is meant for perfume: inside is a tiny silver wand attached to a red jasper stopper, carved in the shape of Peretti’s tactile thumbprint design. The bottle can be filled using a small silver funnel with a silk tassel, and when not in use, it can be admired on its black jade base.
