Tiffany Productions was formed by then superstar Mae Murray and her then director husband Robert Z. Leonard and Maurice H. Hoffman who filmed 8 films together that were released through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Starting in 1925 with Souls for Sables, Tiffany released films under their own name. Tiffany made a total of 70 sound features, twenty which were Westerns. Tiffany booked its films into nearly 2.500 theatres.

To make their films, Tiffany acquired the former Reliance-Majestic Studios lot at 4516 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles in 1927.

John M. Stahl was the director of Tiffany from 1927 until selling out in 1930 renaming the company Tiffany-Stahl Productions. Head of Tiffany was Phil Goldstone with his vice president M.H. Hoffman who later was president of Liberty Films that merged into Republic Pictures. Leonard A Young who similtaneously ran LA Young Spring and Wire Company bought into Tiffany from Hoffman in 1929

Among films produced by Tiffany were:

• A series of films starring then box office attraction Mae Murray
• The Lost Zeppelin (1929) an early Arctic disaster film
• Mamba (1930) that claimed to be the first full-Technicolor drama
• The Medicine Man (1930) starring Jack Benny
• Eight Westerns starring Bob Steele
• Ten Westerns starring Ken Maynard
• A series of short subjects called The Voice of Hollywood
• A series of short subject comedies featuring voices dubbed over chimps chewing bubble gum produced by Jack White

They were sued by Tiffany & Co. for trademark infringement, using such slogans as "Another Gem from Tiffany".

One reason for Tiffany's failure was that it did not have a profitable distribution network.
