About Tiffany & Co
Founded in 1837 in New York as "Tiffany & Young," the brand became synonymous with American luxury when Charles Lewis Tiffany acquired diamonds from European aristocrats fleeing revolution, earning the title "King of Diamonds." The iconic Tiffany Blue Box (Pantone 1837) and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961) cemented cultural status. Tiffany Setting engagement ring (1886) revolutionized diamond cutting by lifting stones above the band. Now owned by LVMH (2021), Tiffany blends American heritage with French luxury craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get VAT refund on Tiffany & Co online purchases?
No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.
Do I need to show my Tiffany & Co purchase at customs?
High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.
What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?
You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination. For example, if flying Paris → London → New York, validate in Paris.
How long does it take to get my refund?
With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
