This piece is perfect for Peretti superfans. It’s the Dog from Elsa Peretti’s quietly iconic Chinese Zodiac collection for Tiffany & Co., which came out in the early 1980s and was only made for a short time. Peretti used her signature sculptural style, with soft, abstract curves that suggest the animal without being too literal. It’s wearable modern art.

Made from 18kt yellow gold, this Dog pendant has the smooth, effortless feel that Peretti is known for. It’s tactile, warm, and easy to recognize if you know her work. These zodiac pieces were produced in much smaller numbers than her main designs, like the Bone cuffs and Open Hearts, so they’ve become collector favorites. They’re hard to find, and gold versions are even rarer!

The Dog is the zodiac sign for people born in 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018. It stands for loyalty, honesty, and protective energy. This makes the pendant feel personal and quietly powerful, like a small golden talisman with its own story.

A beautiful and highly collectible piece of Tiffany history from the late 70s.

Why Collect Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co.?

Elsa Peretti’s designs for Tiffany & Co. are true icons in the world of jewelry. When her collections first appeared in the 1970s, they brought a fresh, almost effortless kind of luxury—minimal, sculptural, and made to be worn every day.
Today, Peretti jewelry remains one of the most actively collected designer categories. Many of her original designs, including Open Heart, Bone Cuff, Bean, and her Alphabet pendants, have remained in continuous production for decades—an extremely rare achievement in jewelry design.
There’s a reason collectors keep coming back to Peretti’s pieces:
  • Timeless designs that still feel fresh and modern, no matter the decade
  • Strong designer recognition among Tiffany collectors
  • Effortless luxury you can wear every day, but that still feels special enough for any occasion
  • Signed treasures that collectors love to hunt for and hold onto
An Elsa Peretti piece is never just a pendant or a cuff. It’s a little piece of history—a moment when modern sculpture, personal style, and fine jewelry all collided and changed Tiffany forever.
