Tiffany & Co. and Daniel Arsham Unveil "The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel"

Hypebeast2 days ago

Summary
The ongoing creative dialogue between legendary jewelerTiffany & Co.and celebrated contemporary artistDaniel Arshamcontinues to captivate, with the unveiling of their latest collaborative endeavor: The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel and an accompanying Limited-Edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear Necklace. This partnership, building on previous successes since 2021, once again showcases a remarkable fusion of fine art and exquisite jewelry.
At the heart of this collection is The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel, a masterpiece that embodies Arsham's signature 'future relic' aesthetic. Inspired by Tiffany's historical 1885 redesign of the Great Seal of the United States (which appeared on American currency) and Arsham's own 'Study of the Eroded Penny' (2013), this patinated bronze sculpture reimagines an ordinary penny as an ancient artifact. Meticulously handcrafted and finished at Arsham Studio in New York City, each vessel is embedded with highly polished crystals that appear to break through the aged patina, creating a striking contrast that speaks to the passage of time and the beauty of decay. This limited-edition series consists of just 39 handcrafted sculptures, making each piece exceptionally exclusive.
Hidden within each Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel lies the ultimate treasure: a limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace. This bespoke piece reimagines Tiffany's iconic HardWear collection, drawing inspiration from a necklace in the Tiffany archives dating back to 1962. Crafted in 18k white gold, the necklace is meticulously handset with over 1,000 diamonds totaling more than six carats and over 500 tsavorites totaling more than three carats. The use of tsavorites, a Tiffany legacy gemstone introduced in 1974, subtly nods to both the bronze patina of the vessel and Arsham Studio's preferred green hue.
Each of these extraordinary works is delivered in a custom-made Tiffany Blue art-handling crate, complete with a matching blue box and dual-branded white gloves, emphasizing its status as both a work of art and a valuable collectible. This collaboration continues to push the boundaries of luxury, transforming an everyday symbol of value—the penny—into a powerful emblem of luck, luxury, and timeless artistry.

M&A News: Home Depot and QXO Battle for GMS in Construction Supremacy Bid

American home improvement retailer Home Depot (HD) has initiated a bidding war with smaller rival QXO Inc. (QXO) to strengthen its market position and capture greater contract revenue. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Home Depot made an undisclosed takeover offer for GMS Inc. (GMS) yesterday, following an unsolicited bid from QXO on Wednesday. Confident Investing Starts Here: Home Depot and QXO aim to secure a larger share of the construction supplies and tools market by becoming bigger and more technologically advanced players capable of winning larger contracts. GMS distributes building products and tool supplies, including wallboard, ceilings, steel framing, and complementary construction products to residential and commercial contractors across North America. It operates around 320 distribution centers and 100 tool sales, rental, and service centers. QXO Makes a Compelling Bid for GMS QXO offered to buy all of GMS' outstanding shares for $95.20 per share in cash, valuing the company at about $5 billion. This offer represents a 27% premium over GMS' 60-day volume-weighted average price. The news pushed shares of both companies higher on June 18, with QXO surging 11.7% and GMS closing up 10.6%. QXO has given GMS' board until June 24 to review and respond to the offer. CEO Brad Jacobs has warned that if the company fails to respond, he will take the offer directly to GMS' shareholders.

GMS' board has stated that it is reviewing the offer in consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, acting in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. In the meantime, GMS reported better-than-expected results for Q4FY25 on June 18. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.29, beating the consensus of $1.11, while revenues of $1.33 billion also surpassed estimates of $1.3 billion.

Does Kroger (NYSE:KR) Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?

It's common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away. Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Kroger (NYSE:KR). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. That means EPS growth is considered a real positive by most successful long-term investors. It certainly is nice to see that Kroger has managed to grow EPS by 21% per year over three years. If growth like this continues on into the future, then shareholders will have plenty to smile about. It's often helpful to take a look at earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins, as well as revenue growth, to get another take on the quality of the company's growth. It seems Kroger is pretty stable, since revenue and EBIT margins are pretty flat year on year. That's not bad, but it doesn't point to ongoing future growth, either. In the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings and revenue, over time. For finer detail, click on the image. View our latest analysis for Kroger While we live in the present moment, there's little doubt that the future matters most in the investment decision process. So why not check this interactive chart depicting future EPS estimates, for Kroger? Since Kroger has a market capitalisation of US$44b, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a large percentage of shares. But we do take comfort from the fact that they are investors in the company. Indeed, they have a considerable amount of wealth invested in it, currently valued at US$372m. This comes in at 0.9% of shares in the company, which is a fair amount of a business of this size. This still shows shareholders there is a degree of alignment between management and themselves. While it's always good to see some strong conviction in the company from insiders through heavy investment, it's also important for shareholders to ask if management compensation policies are reasonable. A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. For companies with market capitalisations over US$8.0b, like Kroger, the median CEO pay is around US$14m. The Kroger CEO received total compensation of just US$379k in the year to February 2025. That's clearly well below average, so at a glance that arrangement seems generous to shareholders and points to a modest remuneration culture. CEO compensation is hardly the most important aspect of a company to consider, but when it's reasonable, that gives a little more confidence that leadership are looking out for shareholder interests. It can also be a sign of good governance, more generally. You can't deny that Kroger has grown its earnings per share at a very impressive rate. That's attractive. If you still have your doubts, remember too that company insiders have a considerable investment aligning themselves with the shareholders and CEO pay is quite modest compared to similarly sized companiess. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to investing but it definitely makes Kroger look rather interesting indeed. We should say that we've discovered 3 warning signs for Kroger that you should be aware of before investing here. Although Kroger certainly looks good, it may appeal to more investors if insiders were buying up shares. If you like to see companies with more skin in the game, then check out this handpicked selection of companies that not only boast of strong growth but have strong insider backing.
