Here’s another treasure from Elsa Peretti’s elusive Chinese Zodiac collection for Tiffany & Co. This time, it’s the Ox, shaped in her signature fluid, sculptural style. Peretti created this series in the late 70s, turning each zodiac animal into a soft, modern form without sharp edges or obvious details. The result is a set of small, wearable sculptures that still feel warm, natural, and very modern, even after all these years.

The Ox pendant, made from 18kt yellow gold, stands out in the collection. It feels calm, grounded, and has a satisfying weight, with a shape that is both meaningful and quietly strong. These zodiac pieces were made in small quantities and were never reissued, so they have become a cult favorite among Peretti collectors. Gold versions are especially rare, and the Ox, interestingly, is not seen very often.

For anyone born in the Year of the Ox—1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, or 2009—this pendant reflects the classic Ox qualities: steady, loyal, reliable, and quietly strong. Even if you aren’t an Ox, this piece is still a small work of wearable art from one of Tiffany’s most important designers.

This is a rare and soulful talisman from a key moment in Peretti’s design history.

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.
