30 ETH was trending on Twitter on Sunday afternoon after the luxury jewelry firm Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) announced: “The future is here and it’s called Nftiff.” Essentially, Nftiff is a new Tiffany’s product that aims to combine the beauty of digital collectibles and luxury jewelry. The company’s blog post about the limited edition Nftiff products notes the wares represent a collection of 250 digital passes.
However, Tiffany’s Nftiffs can only be purchased by Cryptopunks NFT holders and a customer is limited to purchasing three Nftiffs. The buyers will get a custom-designed pendant and NFT that resembles the jewelry. Each Tiffany’s Nftiff will sell for 30 ethereum (ETH) on August 5, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. (EST), and at the time of writing, 30 ETH is roughly $50,481. Buyers will get the NFT, pendant, and shipping after paying for the Tiffany’s-brand NFTs. The company shared a video of the Cryptopunks-themed Tiffany & Co. pendants.
“Tiffany & Co. designers will interpret each Cryptopunk into custom-designed pendants – converting the 87 attributes and 159 colors that appear across the collection of 10,000 Cryptopunk NFTs to the most similar gemstone or enamel color,” the company’s blog post details. The luxury jewelry company added: Depending on which Cryptopunk owners purchase pendants, each piece will use at least 30 gemstones and/or diamonds to create the custom designs with the highest fidelity to the original NFT art. Examples of gemstones include but are not limited to Sapphires, Amethyst, and Spinel. Tiffany’s Digital Collectibles Announcement and the 30 Ether Price per NFT Spark Conversations on Social Media
