What’s On My Desk: Tiffany & Co’s Brian Neel

Brian Neel is the Group Director of Tiffany & Co. for Palo Alto, overseeing the the Palo Alto, San Jose and Walnut Creek stores. He has quite a distinguished task overseeing all of those precious treasures from Tiffany & Co.

A passion for luxury goes a long way. Not only does he support the operations of all three stores, he also works directly with his high-end customers to help them find the right pieces from Tiffany’s extensive collection of jewelry, diamonds, watches and gifts.

Haute Living recently had a chance to sit down with him to discuss Tiffany’s latest Atlas collection, and he was generous enough to give us a little behind the scenes glimpse at his work.  Let’s see what fabulous things Brian Neel keeps nearby.

1.  A Solitaire Diamond ring that I’m looking at for a client: The Classic Tiffany setting. My favorite because it was first introduced in 1887 and is as modern today as it was when it premiered– setting the style for glamorous engagement rings ever since.

2. Tiffany designer Jean Schlumberger Croisillon bracelet.  Nicked named the “Jackie O” bracelet because she collected them and wore them often.

3.  My onyx leather journal from our Tiffany Leather Collection.  Cannot live without it to keep my phone messages organized.

4.  On the move among our Silicon Valley stores, my notepad with palladium-plated solid brass hardware and organization pockets includes two notepads for everything I need to remember.

5.  Vintage Tiffany Sterling silver Atlas mechanical pencil.  Never fails me.
