This is the first book ever published on this major American jewelry designer, who worked at Tiffany & Co.at the turn of the last century and created some of the firm's most dazzling jewels. These pieces are highly valued and sought after by museums and collectors, and reproductions are still sold by Tiffany today.

George Paulding Farnham (1859–1927) was an American jewelry designer, sculptor and metallurgist that worked for Tiffany & Co. in the late 19th and early 20th century. Farnham married American sculptor Sally James Farnham in 1896. After leaving Tiffany & Co. in 1908, Farnham focused his interests on developing mining properties in British Columbia. He divorced Sally Farnham in 1915 and moved to California, where he died in 1927.
