Add a timeless piece of designer history to your collection with this authentic Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Bean pendant necklace. Designed in 1974 by the legendary Elsa Peretti, the bean represents the origin of all things, beautifully rendered in a smooth, sculptural form that contours elegantly against the body.
The pendant features a polished high-shine finish with a beautiful, substantial weight. This particular piece features a harder-to-find, longer 24-inch classic link chain, making it incredibly versatile for layering or wearing as a longer standalone statement piece. A wonderful gift for that mom-to-be!
The bean charm has been very well taken care of with very little wear to surface, NO dents or dings. The chain length is very rare at 24" inches. All hallmarks are easily visible.

The minimalist symbol represents the origin of all things. It carries several layers of meaning:
Life, Growth, and Potential: Because a bean is a seed, it is a universal symbol of life, new beginnings, fertility, and the infinite potential waiting to sprout from something small.
Nature’s Perfect Geometry: Peretti was deeply inspired by natural, organic forms. She viewed the bean not as a mundane object, but as a perfect, smooth, and sculptural shape created by nature.
Tactile Comfort: Her designs were always meant to be touched. The smooth, contoured curves of the bean are meant to feel comforting and ergonomic against the skin, serving as a tactile reminder of our connection to the natural world.
