Illustrated by Tobie Giddio

It’s December…..one of our favorite times of year. The

holidays mean so much for us personally, but also as a

business. It’s the time when the promise of the Tiffany

brand rings true more than ever. Year after year, holiday season after

holiday season, clients both existing and new walk through our doors with

hopes, expectations…….and hopefully long shopping lists! It’s the time of

the year when your relationship building skills and great service you’ve

been providing all year pays off.

We certainly have lots of exciting merchandise to offer; from our tried

and true favorites to new designs and collections such as yellow diamonds,

line extensions of existing collections and the Tiffany Leather Collection.

But as memorable as our merchandise is, the service we provide needs to

be even more memorable. Regardless of our individual roles, we are each

responsible for doing everything we can to make our clients experience in

the store the best it can be. I know it gets tough sometimes and we get

tired, feet get sore, customers try our patience; but I ask you all to dig

deep, take a deep breath and remember to greet each and every guest;

find out what brings them in and do your best do deliver service as legen-

dary as the Blue Box.

I wish each and every one of you a meaningful and wonderful holiday season.

The Rare Beauty at Tiffany

The Tiffany Yellow Diamond was originally

found in South Africa in 1877; it is said

that the meaning of giving a yellow dia-

mond is to promote peace and serenity.

Julie’s Historical Encounter

My dentist happens to be descended from royalty; his great, great grandfather was a baron and his great aunt is Mrs. Sheldon White-

house who had the pleasure of wearing the Tiffany Yellow.

“…the Tiffany Yellow has been seen by millions of others in almost seventy years of continuous display in Tiffany's

store. It has also been shown at numerous exhibitions: they include the Chicago Columbian in 1893, the Pan-

American in 1901, the Chicago Century of Progress in 1933 34 and the New York World's Fair in 1939. The first

occasion on which the diamond was worn was in 1957 at the Tiffany Ball held in Newport, Rhode Island, when the

chairwoman of the ball, Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse, had the honor of wearing it, mounted for the occasion in a neck-

lace of white diamonds. In 1971 the Tiffany Yellow returned to South Africa for the exhibition which marked the

centennial celebrations of the Kimberly Mine. After an absence of forty years from London, Tiffany's re-opened

their branch in Old Bond Street in 1986, and displayed the diamond to herald its return. “

Maxine: I was spotted

during the Bay to

Breakers, being silly

and saying, "If you love

someone, come to Tif-

fany's!" A female couple

came in the following

day and ordered two

rings. One was gruff

and kind of "Oh who

needs a ring?" the

other was insisting but

as it turned out the one

who was cavalier about

the ring was very par-

The city never looked so good black bearded and

dressed in orange and black. It was sheer torture

to watch and/or listen to on the radio but after a

long awaited fifty-two years the San Francisco

Giants finally won and can call themselves the

official 2010 World Series Champions!

Make It Right Dear Michele H.,

I have been receiving

beautiful gifts from Tif-

fany for years and have

never had any issue with

my jewelry; for that rea-

son I only wear

Tiffany because the qual-

ity is unmatched. I was

so disappointed with the

tiffany heart keychain

and what ultimately oc-

curred when the ball

loosened and fell off. I

into the store you imme-

diately stood behind your

merchandise without a

question. Your warmth,

compassion and ulti-

mately your gracious

gesture of offering me

another keychain was

amazing. Rarely do you

meet a sales person with

such a genuine care for

the customer. The fact

that Tiffany & Co. em-

powers staff to take

care of their clients to

that degree just confirms

why it’s Tiffany or

nothing for me. Michele

your kindness completely

warmed my heart.

Thank you for your out-

standing service.

Best,

Nicole

October was National Breast Cancer

Awareness Month where almost every re-

tail store on the square displayed pink

showing their support. In addition, Nike

celebrated their seventh year of the Nike

Women’s Marathon that was on October

17th where more than twenty thousand

women ran in support of the cause and to

receive their Tiffany pendant at the end of

the finish line.

Picnic at the Beach by Maxine Parrick

The BBQ at Baker Beach followed the "Great Inven-

tory Night" and it was a welcomed distraction: a

fun event due to the joint efforts of the Team Lead-

ership Committee. Fabian was an important link in

the chain of communication, while Sonia was our

main management support person; making phone

calls to rangers, and a massive trip to Costco to purchase the yummy bur-

gers, buns, hot dogs, etc. for the grill. Our own Demetrius a.k.a. "Big D" was

Grill Mister with support from wingman Eric Carl. Our perfect spot locator

was a combo dynamo team of Amy's family and Jerry Parrick. Maxine dem-

onstrated the art of making the perfect "S'mores" utilizing the unique addi-

tion of dark chocolate. We had incredible salads and treats from all the par-

ticipants. We had little kids, babies and lots of cute dogs. It was wonderful

to eat messy food, laugh, drink soda pop and beer with each other and joy-

fully watch the sun set on what turned out to be a stellar night: 68 degrees,

no wind, just fun. Special thanks to all who planned, prepped and attended

this event.
