Cynthia Dillon began her career in the jewelry industry working alongside Elsa Peretti, Tiffany & Co.’s foremost designer.
Cynthia became President of Kuma Enterprises, the company owned by Elsa Peretti, in 1983. The company was contractually retained by Tiffany & Co., from 1982-1988, to assist in the implementation of the licensing agreement between Peretti and Tiffany, and oversaw the production and manufacturing of Peretti designs in Spain, Italy, and the Far East.
Cynthia Dillon was involved in aspects of Manufacturing, Design and Public Relations. She was responsible for the execution of the design of the rock crystal perfume bottle bearing the designer’s name and appearing in the 1981-1982 Tiffany Catalogue. (That bottle is displayed at the British Museum in London!)- See below.

Cynthia Dillon’s 18 year experience behind a jeweler’s bench enables her to carve and/ or sculpt her own pieces of jewelry. She discovered at 26 years of age, in 1982, that she had a keen eye for “proportion,” when she oversaw the completion of the rock crystal perfume bottle, designed by Elsa Peretti, and carved by Mr. Lam in Mr. Fong’s factory in Hong Kong, and which graced that year’s Blue Book (Tiffany & Co. catalog, ) and is today at the British Museum…
