We sometimes forget that there's more to the Tiffany & Co. story than just diamonds and gold.

Though its bread and butter remains luxurious jewellery, the New York jeweller has actually produced a myriad of wares throughout its illustrious history.

After all, Tiffany & Co. started out selling stationery-then known as Tiffany, Young and Ellis (1838)—and even went on to create swords and surgical instruments for the army during the American Civil War.

The padlock was another thing that the Maison once produced in the 1800s, that has gone on to become a recurring motif in the Tiffany & Co. catalogue, beginning in the 1950s when the jeweller presented an exciting array of necklaces, brooches, key rings and money clips adorned with design elements borrowed from the padlock.
