With Guillermo del Toro’s future Frankenstein remake, the gothic loveliness of the time-worn story collides with the radiant craftsmanship of Tiffany & Co. Each gem, each spark of silver and gold, embodies almost two centuries’ worth of expertise, elevating scenes to something rather more than costume design.

A Conversation between History and Cinema
Chosen from The Tiffany Archives, some of the items date back to the 1860s, a time when jewelry makers crafted pieces as delicate miniature sculptures. In Frankenstein, these items serve as emotional bookmarks rather than mere decoration, linking the film’s gothic tone with a sense of human vulnerability and memory.
Guillermo del Toro, an aficionado of visual poetry, employs the work of Tiffany’s as characters, per se, each silver piece or necklace whispering of time, loss, and rebirth.

Jewelry as Narrative Architecture
For Tiffany & Co. it’s an extension of a collaboration that goes beyond product placement, a living manifestation of the brand’s dialogue with art and cinema, showing how design can evolve without disrespecting the past. With del Toro, the jewels capture the emotional heart of Frankenstein: beauty and despair together, elegance and darkness.
The end result is not only a collaboration between film and fashion, but an homage to how the past itself can glitter afresh upon the silver screen.
