In the 19th century, turquoise gemstone jewelry was popular.
Time goes into designing jewelry but a jewelry firm also spends time designing the box that comes with the jewelry. The box often makes the receiver happy, before she even looks inside it. The jewelry box prepares you for the gift you are about to receive. Tiffany & Co. uses light turquoise boxes in which to wrap gifts.
Iconic Packaging
Iconic packing ranges from Carter's red box to Hermes bright orange box. The red box is said to bring good luck and happiness. The orange box sends the message that you are receiving the best thing in luxury fashion. Tiffany & Co. picked a light blue color for their boxes. The first boxes appeared in 1837, and they became linked to style and sophistication. The box is a cube or rectangle, and it features a white ribbon tied with a Tiffany bow.
Tiffany-style Weddings Featuring the Iconic Boxes
Tiffany boxes are often used as a theme for weddings. Many brides-to-be want the elegant sophistication that Tiffany boxes give. A Tiffany-style wedding features blue knockoff boxes as party favors for guests or as an inspiration for decor, attire and invitations. The boxes are often decorated with pearls, and silver is used to accent the blue. A Tiffany box style wedding cake should be simple with only a few decorative accents. It is usually made of three or four square tiers, with a white bow around each box.
Tiffany Blue
Tiffany Blue is the name used for the blue color linked to blues Tiffany boxes. There are several ways to describe the color from forget-me not blue to robin's egg blue. The color is protected and the PMS (Pantone Matching System ) number is 1837, the year the company was founded.
Where to Find the Box
You have to buy something from Tiffany & Co. to get a blue box. The company does not sell empty boxes, as Tiffany boxes are a symbol of romance and quality. You can purchase a porcelain replica of the Tiffany box from Tiffany & Co. by going to their website, however.
