In 1968, she joined the renowned house of Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. in New York, working under the tutelage of Donald Claffin for several years before launching her first full collection under her own name in 1975. During her tenure at Tiffany, which lasted until 1984, she created a stunning array of jewelry, often drawing inspiration from nature's bounty - the sea, flora, and wildlife. Her work, characterized by the use of yellow gold and inlaid gems like lapis lazuli, jade, mother-of-pearl, coral, wood, and opal, epitomized this natural influence, as seen in her beloved gold Rose Petal necklace and earring suite. She remains one of the few named jewelry designers to have graced the Tiffany legacy, joining the ranks of esteemed talents like Paloma Picasso, Jean Schlumberger, and Elsa Peretti.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth the onyx and the pearl are in perfect condition.
