Tiffany Victoria Mixed Cluster Diamond Drop Earrings

A flower from the founder's son

Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of the company's founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, became Tiffany's first official design director. Tiffany describes him as an influential figure in the Art Nouveau movement whose colorful, naturalistic style, best known from the 'Wisteria' lamp, remains a major inspiration for the company's designers.

The Victoria line traces its origins to one of his pieces: an early 20th-century necklace, enameled and filled with floral motifs. Decades later, according to a fashion magazine's account, his work inspired Tiffany's designers to create round and marquise cut diamond jewelry for the 1996 Blue Book, the company's annual catalog of its most important jewels.

Tiffany has not published the name of the individual designer behind the 1996 pieces in any source reviewed for this page, so none is given here.

Four marquises, point to point

Tiffany's press description defines Victoria by a distinct floral pattern of four marquise diamonds or colored gemstones linked point to point, set in 18k gold or platinum. The company lists variations including pendants, brooches, bangle and wire cuff bracelets, earrings and rings, with diamonds, pearls or colored stones including rubies, sapphires, tanzanites, tsavorites and opals. Tanzanite and tsavorite are both gems Tiffany itself introduced to the market; it named tsavorite after Tsavo National Park near the Kenya-Tanzania border.

The line has grown beyond the single flower. Today Tiffany describes Victoria as flower and vine motifs in platinum and 18k yellow and rose gold, with marquise, pear-shaped and round brilliant diamonds. A magazine account says newer pieces take the shape of vines and laurel wreaths, with larger diamonds and small melee stones alternating in the leaves and the tips of the marquises suggesting flower buds.

The same account says each Victoria piece is individually crafted and every stone is hand-set, and that V-shaped teeth on the leaves let light strike the marquise diamonds at different angles. Tiffany's regional site notes that the collection has been worn by Beyoncé.

How to identify the Mixed Cluster Drop Earrings

The model tracked here is the Tiffany Victoria Mixed Cluster Drop Earrings in platinum. Rather than repeating one flower, each earring is a dropping cluster of three diamond cuts. Tiffany's listing gives the breakdown for the pair: marquise diamonds with a carat total weight of 1.67, pear-shaped diamonds totaling 1.48 and round brilliant diamonds totaling 1.10, for 4.25 carats in all. The maker describes 'alternating mixed-cut diamonds' that 'create striking constellations of light.'

Tiffany lists the earrings in platinum only, in one scale, under SKU 35390529, and notes that they can be exchanged but not returned. A reseller selling a pre-owned pair describes the same weights and points out that the setting work sits low so the diamonds crowd the surface with little visible metal from the front.

Victoria includes several similar earrings, among them the non-drop Mixed Cluster Earrings, and the Diamond Vine Drop Earrings. Buyers comparing prices should confirm the model name and the 4.25-carat total for this drop version.

Retail and resale

As a current production piece, the earrings' reference price is Tiffany's own: $69,000 on the maker's site in October 2026. FLOAT's record had listed a 2024 retail of $37,300 at a Tiffany product address that now returns a 'page not found' notice, so that figure could not be checked and may refer to a different or since-changed model.

Pre-owned pairs are offered well below current retail. One reseller in October 2026 listed a pair in excellent condition, with the full 4.25 carats, at $40,000, with a small discount for payment by bank wire. That is an asking price, not a sale.

Price record

This is an asking price, not a sale. It is what a seller wanted on the date shown. Asking prices often sit above what buyers pay, but an ask is not a ceiling: a sale can land on either side of it. It is not a value.

By reference price, Tiffany Victoria Mixed Cluster Diamond Drop Earrings is number 42 of 100 in the jewelry entries of the FLOAT 100. 44 of those 100 rest on a realized sale; the rest carry an asking price or a guide value, and each page says which. Rank within the FLOAT 100 itself (61 here) is editorial: how much an object defines its field, not price alone.
