Tiffany & Co. Building Blocks: Like LEGO for Rick Kids

You know Tiffany & Co? They’re the ones that make all the expensive jewelry and accessories for rich people. I’m pretty sure that you and I aren’t even allowed to utter their name aloud unless our bank account hits a certain threshold. Well, now they are getting into the rich spoiled brat market with Tiffany sterling silver building blocks. Think of them as luxury LEGO.

These deluxe building blocks are not actually toys. We think. They look like the toy bricks we all know and love, but instead of round studs, these ones have square studs and are made of sterling silver and American walnut.

Naturally, they are also expensive. They’re priced at $1,650 for a set of 10 bricks. The 10 pieces include three 2 by 2 blocks (0.62” square), three 2 by 3 blocks (0.93 x 0.62”), three 2 by 5 blocks (1.55 x 0.62”), all in sterling silver and american walnut wood. The last brick is a single 2 by 5 block (1.55 x 0.62”) in all sterling silver.

They are numbered and lettered and you can personalize them with an engraving of up to three letters as well. That costs an extra $25 ,which is nothing to anyone who is buying sterling silver LEGO blocks. Damn rich kids and their gleaming silver structures!

Disappointed With The iPhone X? Why Not Buy A $1,000 Tin Can

Remember Tiffany? No, not that stuck-up girl from high school who had rich parents that bought her a new Porsche after turning 16. I’m talking about the jewelry company that your grandma used to talk about 30 years ago. Well, apparently someone told them that Supreme is able to slap their name on a plain t-shirt and watch it sell for hundreds of dollars, because now they’re selling a tin can for $1,000.

Oh, but don’t worry this isn’t an ordinary tin can. This one is made of silver and Vermeil, which is apparently gold coated in silver. So, it’s made with gold, but still looks a regular aluminum tin can, genius.

Look people, we have to agree right now not to tell other companies about Supreme. Before you know it, we’ll have the GAP selling overalls at $199, Homegoods will sell an X-shaped mirror for $649 and Sketchers will start selling their sneakers exclusively in Manhattan, starting at $1,999 a pair.
