The years-long remake of Tiffany & Co.’s iconic store at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York is drawing to a close, with a grand reopening slated in about a month, Women’s Wear Daily reports.

The job began in 2019 under Tiffany’s previous executive management team and came under the supervision of LVMH Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy when that luxury group acquired the brand in 2021. The overhaul includes an interior architecture design led by Peter Marino and a three-story glass addition by OMA partner Shohei Shigematsu, both done in partnership with Tiffany’s in-house team.

Sources told WWD that Tiffany is changing the historic location’s name from “flagship” to “The Landmark” to create a distinction between that specific location and a roster of important global stores in such key cities as Tokyo and Los Angeles.

The fashion newspaper said Tiffany is expected to email invitations to industry insiders this week for a grand-opening event at “The Landmark” on the evening of April 27, with the store opening to the public during normal business hours the following day.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
