Tiffany & Co. congratulates winners of Athlos NYC
Tiffany & Co. congratulated the six winners of the track races of Athlos NYC on Randall’s Island. Tiffany & Co. co-designed the crowns with Athlos for its first-of-a-kind event aimed at honouring the progress in women’s sports and the excitement around this next generation of athletes. The sterling silver crown is approximately 4.25 inches high, 7.2 inches in diameter and weighs 1.4 pounds. Handcrafted at the Tiffany & Co. hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island, it took approximately 10 weeks for a total of 25 hours of labour to complete the crowns. Artisans combined age-old silversmithing techniques such as casting, hammer forming, roller bending, flat layout, fitting and filing, soldering, filing and stoning, and polishing with state-of-the-art technologies such as wire EDM cutting and etching. Athlos is a first-of-its-kind track invitational bringing together the fastest women in the world to compete for the largest prize purse ever for a women’s-only track event.
