Tiffany & Co. Ltd. is an American jewelry and tableware company founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany (father of Louis Comfort Tiffany) and John B. Young on September 18, 1837, in Manhattan, New York City. Originally selling various luxury goods in Lower Manhattan, Tiffany has specialized in jewelry, and diamonds in particular, since Charles Lewis Tiffany, nicknamed The Diamond King, purchased the French Crown Jewels in 1887. Tiffany created numerous jewelry designs in the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles. Since 1940, the Tiffany flagship store has been located in New York City on Fifth Avenue at 57th Street. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the American equivalent of a National Historic Landmark.
