Tiffany & Co. is synonymous with luxury, style, and taste. Tiffany's flagship store is located along a posh section of Fifth Avenue on the corner of E. 57th Street. Tiffany & Co. sells a wide variety of luxury items but it is especially well known for its diamond jewelry.
In the song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" Tiffany's is mention twice. It is included first in the verse where famous diamond sellers are listed:
Tiffany's!
Cartier!
Black Starr!
Frost Gormham!
Talk to me Harry Winston.
Tell me all about it!
Tiffany's appears second time in the final verses that summarize the premise of the song:
Time rolls on,
And youth is gone,
And you can't straighten up when you bend.
But stiff back
Or stiff knees,
You stand straight at Tiffany's.
Diamonds! Diamonds!
I don't mean rhinestones!
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
