Tiffany & Co. were on hand for the second year in a row to celebrate the opening of Artist-To-Artist Frieze London 2026 with a cocktail reception at Sessions Arts Club.
A partner of Frieze London’s Artist-To-Artist program, which seeks to champion emerging talent in the art world and showcase pieces from a range of artists.
For the event, Tiffany were joined by a number of notable faces including model and TV presenter Alexa Chung, actor and prolific art collector Russell Tovey and Terminator: Dark Fate star, Mackenzie Davis. All were seen wearing Tiffany & Co. jewellery with Chung opting for a number of pieces from the HardWear collection including two link necklace in yellow gold with diamonds paired with gold and pearl earrings.
Davis meanwhile, was spotting wearing the HardWear large link bracelet in yellow gold with diamonds along with Bird on a Rock ear clips made from gold and platinum and paved with diamonds. She completed the look with two more bracelets from the HardWear collection and a stunning ensemble of rings from both the Bird on a Rock range and Tiffany’s Knot pieces.
Holding out down for the men was Tovey who opted for a sole piece in the form of a Lock bangle in yellow gold.
This year’s Frieze London is showcasing works from the likes of Jorge Gonzalez, Eusung Lee and Paul Robas, among others, with all artists put forward by their contemporaries.
Tiffany & Co. recently unveiled some new additions to the HardWear range, which was initially introduced in 2017 and quickly became one of their most popular collections.
Up until this year, all HardWear pieces were made out of 18 karat gold and diamonds but 2026 has seen the introduction of turquoise and Akoya pearls into the collection.
Nine new pieces encompass the collection with Tiffany opting for two different approaches to set the pearls, which were sourced from Japan and the turquoise, which comes from America and Mexico.
The first example, exemplified by the 34 inch wrap necklace as well as the drop earrings, sees the turquoise beads and pearls set on the end of each HardWear link with the accents capped with gold domes.
The other use of the turquoise and pearls has the beads set between the links or set as accents.
The designs themselves take cues from the Pop Art movement and the work of Andy Warhol as well as Jean Schlumberger’s muse Bunny Mellon and a lapis lazuli and pearl necklace they wore in the 1960’s.
The centrepiece of the new release is a convertible 34-inch necklace and features two integrated clasps allowing for versatile use including as a long necklace or in the double-wrap style. The design includes gold pyramid domes that secure the stones while large turquoise beads sit along the links.
