00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.700
- Tiffany & Co. prides itself on releasing

2
00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:04.380
some of the most beautiful

3
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:06.870
and valuable jewelry on the planet.

4
00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:09.180
Making the company's iconic blue boxes

5
00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:12.270
highly coveted by soon
to be fiances everywhere

6
00:00:12.270 --> 00:00:14.250
and in a bid to secure its reputation

7
00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:16.590
as a top tier jewelry purveyor,

8
00:00:16.590 --> 00:00:20.850
Tiffany has released its
own line of IRL NFTs.

9
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:22.150
Wait, that can't be right.

10
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.280
Oh, come on!

11
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.380
Tiffany & Co. has announced a new line

12
00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:31.440
of NFT inspired pendants
which will be hyper exclusive

13
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.170
and modeled after Cryptopunk avatars.

14
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:38.190
Cryptopunk is a line of 10,000
different pixel art NFTs

15
00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:40.110
that are algorithmically generated.

16
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:43.410
So, think Board Ape Yacht
Club, but human and blurry.

17
00:00:43.410 --> 00:00:46.710
Tiffany & Co. explains on
its website that the NFTiff,

18
00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:48.657
which is kind of a dumb name...

19
00:00:48.657 --> 00:00:51.574
(graphics beeping)

20
00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:57.420
Is not the actual pendant,
but is instead a digital pass

21
00:00:57.420 --> 00:00:59.400
that will allow Cryptopunk holders

22
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:01.260
to then receive their pendant.

23
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:04.530
So, I have to buy the
pass, then redeem the pass,

24
00:01:04.530 --> 00:01:06.300
then I get my pendant.

25
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:07.380
Hmm.

26
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:09.060
The pendants themselves will be made

27
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.720
out of either 18 carat rose
gold or 18 carat yellow gold

28
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:15.420
with at least 30 gemstones or diamonds.

29
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:18.510
The pendant will then be displayed
on an 18 carat gold chain

30
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:21.540
with a length of 18,20 or 22 inches.

31
00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:24.630
The NFTIiff will retail
for around 30 Ether,

32
00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:27.030
which at the time of recording this video

33
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:29.760
is a little over $49,000 USD.

34
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.160
Can't you rich people
donate to like a charity

35
00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:34.680
or something instead or take my out

36
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.000
to Red Lobster instead of
buying this dumb jewelry.

37
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.066
♪ I take his ass Red Lobster ♪

38
00:01:40.066 --> 00:01:40.899
♪ 'Cause I slay ♪

39
00:01:40.899 --> 00:01:43.683
