Dubbed "NFTiffs," the collection consists of 250 digital passes. Anyone can purchase NFTiffs, which are minted on the Ethereum blockchain. However, CryptoPunk holders can redeem the NFT for a customized-jewelry experience. After purchase, Punk holders can elect to receive a custom-designed pendant and an NFT digital artwork that resembles the final jewelry design. These are crafted by the company's in-house artisans and inspired by the Punks NFT collection.

Depending on the color palette of the Punk NFT, Tiffany will create pendants using at least 30 gemstones such as sapphires, amethyst, spinel and diamonds with its frame in 18karat rose or yellow gold. Buyers will receive a rendering of their piece by October, with anticipated physical delivery in 2023.

Each NFTiff will cost 30 Ether, which covers the cost of the NFT, custom pendant and chain, as well as shipping and handling. There is a limit of three passes per customer, with the sale commencing on Aug. 5 at 10:00 am and a redemption deadline of Aug. 12 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time.

At the time of publication,CryptoPunks have a floor priceof 74.75 ETH, meaning that jewelry enthusiasts must pay around $125,000 for a Punk NFT on top of 30 ETH for an NFTiff if they wish to participate in the custom jewelry experience.

The Boy in Bed
You are not alone, little boy. Everyone is prone to some kind of darkness, Treating it like a childhood friend: "How could it possibly betray us?" We share similar stories of descent, Enjoying the illusions we made to cope, Distracting ourselves from the moments Of great awareness—we're running out of hope. We are being swallowed, one by one, And I beg the heavens to bring those illusions back. Our last stars are gravitating away, Leaving our psyche under attack. So please stay awake a little longer, young knight. There are familiar creatures creeping in. They all want your soul in aimless saunter, Like the fish that Jonah lived in. Look up and let's befriend Midnight herself, That perhaps she will calm us down. Don't make the same mistake I did, For I was deceived by a demon with a crown. Who would have ever thought that Our bedrooms could be a warzone? We are lost children of Ares, And our worn-out bed, our throne. Just a little more courage, young prince. Take on shapes like thick smoke, For in your sanctuary of a bedroom, The envious monsters outside, you might provoke. You're shielded and barriered yet vulnerable. You have refuge but not enough strength to fight, For you were tricked into thinking you're weak, By your bad dreams, night after night. See, open your eyes, dear one. Remember, you are not alone In this doomsday-like period Of isolation that no one could have known.
