The new Tiffany Lock bangles are now available for purchase at Dubai Duty Free. Inspired by the power of togetherness and inclusivity, the new Tiffany Lock bangles make a bold and visual statement. Designed to represent the personal bonds that make us who we are, the unisex design makes the perfect gift. Each one has been expertly crafted in 18k gold so they are built to last, symbolic of love when you gift it to someone. Ideal for stacking, the new bangle design was inspired by the brand’s famous history, while adding a touch of modernity to mirror an expression of love in the 21st century. It’s the ideal present to gift from your travels. THE TIFFANY LOCK The simple, yet elegant, design was inspired by a padlock, a renowned House motif since the 1880s. Along with celebrating the brand’s past, the Tiffany Lock bangles were also designed to represent the unbreakable bonds that connect us. Each new design they bring out is a powerful expression of modern love. AHEAD OF THE CURVE As the latest icon by the heritage brand, innovation was key during the design process. And as a result, the Tiffany Lock has an innovative swiveling mechanism that echoes the functionality of a padlock. DESIGNING AN ICON Building on the brand’s legacy of ground- breaking design, the unique clasp on each Lock Bangle is a feat of Tiffany & Co. artisanship. It took one year to create the clasp, which is sturdy but practical. COLOURWAYS Whatever the colour of your current bracelet stack or jewellery preference, you’ll be able to select a Tiffany Lock Bangle for you. The bracelets are available in 18k white, yellow, and rose gold with full pavé and half pavé diamonds or in all-metal.
