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

Algeria–U.S. energy ties grow amid Western Sahara tensions
Algeria is taking strategic steps to expand its energy partnership with the United States as tensions over the Western Sahara dispute continue to mount. Algeria is enhancing its energy partnership with the U.S. amidst Western Sahara tensions. Washington shows interest in reviving Western Sahara negotiations ahead of a UN session. Economic partnerships align with Algeria's diplomatic strategies and regional positioning. This renewed engagement comes as part of Algeria's broader push to assert economic diplomacy in the face of growing international pressure surrounding the long-standing territorial issue. On June 24, the Secretary-General of Algeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lounes Magramane, met with U.S. Ambassador Elizabeth Moore Aubin to discuss regional developments and bilateral cooperation. Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening ties, with Ambassador Aubin later emphasizing the importance of this dialogue through her social media platforms. As U.S. interest in the Western Sahara issue intensifies, reports indicate that Washington may be looking to revive stalled negotiations ahead of a key UN Security Council session scheduled for October. The Trump administration is said to support Morocco's 2007 autonomy proposal, prompting Algeria to step up its own diplomatic efforts. Algeria deepens energy investment with US firms In a parallel move on the economic front, Algeria has opened its doors wider to American energy investors. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune recently held back-to-back meetings with top executives from Chevron and ExxonMobil. Energy Minister Mohamed Arkab and Sonatrach CEO Rachid Hachichi were also present, signaling a unified and high-level push for foreign partnership. Central to Algeria's new approach is a proposed energy law that would allow foreign companies to hold up to 80 percent ownership in new oil and gas ventures marking a major shift from previous investment rules. Minister Arkab described the legislation as a transformative step, aimed at modernizing the sector while maintaining national resource control. Earlier this year, Algeria's Ambassador to the U.S., Sabri Boukadoum, also expressed the country's openness to negotiating broad resource-based agreements with Washington, stating that 'the sky's the limit.' As efforts to reignite UN-led talks on Western Sahara remain uncertain, Algeria's energy overtures could serve both as an economic opportunity and a calculated diplomatic response.

Trump plans to announce TikTok buyer in two weeks
President Trump said Sunday there is a buyer for TikTok, a week after he extended the app's ban deadline for a third time. The big picture: Trump would not say who the buyer is while appearing on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," noting only it is "a group of wealthy people." When pressed by host Maria Bartiromo on who the buyer is, the president said he "will tell you in about two weeks." Zoom out: The popular social media app has been in limbo for months, repeatedly coming up against a deadline to ban it from U.S.-based app stores, only for Trump — who has his own TikTok account — to extend the ban for months at a time. The first extension came on the first day of his second term, followed by another in April when the White House thought a deal to place the app under American ownership was imminent. Instead, China balked at the deal and forced Trump to issue a second extension of the ban. The third extension — enacted on June 19 — was in yet another effort to push a potential deal over the finish line, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media at a press briefing that day. Between the lines: Trump offered no details Sunday as to what the deal entails or how quickly it would be completed. "I think I'll probably need China [sic] approval," he said. "I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it." Flashback: TikTok has been the subject of scrutiny from Congress — and even Trump, during his first presidential term — owing to concerns that its Chinese owner, ByteDance, has access to the personal data of the millions of Americans who use the app.

Murphy says he thinks ‘there's a chance' Trump's megabill doesn't pass
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Sunday he believed 'there's a chance' President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' will not achieve Senate passage. 'Senator Murphy, do you think there's any chance that the so-called 'big, beautiful bill' does not pass the Senate?' NBC News's Kristen Welker asked Murphy on 'Meet the Press.' 'I do think there's a chance it doesn't pass. They are trying to ram it through as quickly as they can, likely in the middle of the night tonight, because every day that this bill hangs out there, it becomes less popular,' Murphy replied. 'As you noted, by almost a two-to-one margin, the American people hate this piece of legislation, because it's going to represent the biggest transfer of wealth and money from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country,' he added. Senate Republicans on Saturday narrowly voted to advance a nearly 1,000-page bill to implement Trump's agenda despite opposition from two of their members. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) both voted against advancing the package. Paul has opposed a provision to increase the debt limit by $5 trillion, while Tillis has said the bill would cost North Carolina $38.9 trillion in federal Medicaid funding. 'I cannot support this bill in its current form. It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities,' Tillis said in a prior statement. 'This will force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for hundreds of thousands in the expansion population, and even reducing critical services for those in the traditional Medicaid population,' he added.
