TIFFANY & CO. has introduced its final phase of its Blue Book 2024 collection, Tiffany Céleste, debuting a series of dream-like high jewellery pieces.
This chapter connotes the genius of the late Jean Schlumberger, Tiffany’s revered designer, reflecting from his own fascination with the cosmos and the unknown. Through four enchanting chapters—Owl on a Rock, Phoenix, Unicorn, and Star Burst—Tiffany’s Chief Artistic Officer, Nathalie Verdeille, reinterprets Schlumberger’s renowned creations, including his most famous design: Bird on a Rock.
Phoenix Rubellite Necklace
Phoenix Fire Opal Brooch
Verdeille expressed her reverence for Schlumberger’s work, stating, “Each piece represents an in-depth exploration of the themes that inspired Jean Schlumberger. The fall launch of Tiffany Céleste revisits these designs with a modern twist, yet stays true to the spirit of Schlumberger’s unbridled creativity”.
Owl on a Rock Star Sapphire Brooch
Owl on a Rock Black Opal Brooch
A hallmark of this collection is the Owl on a Rock brooch series, a nocturnal counterpart to Schlumberger’s Bird on a Rock. Each owl brooch is perched on a “moon rock,” evoking the magic and mysteré of the night sky.
Precious gemstones such as black opals, moonstones, tanzanites, and celestial star sapphires are window into the depth of the universe, with each owl’s unique character complementing the stone beneath it.
Phoenix Rubellite Earrings
Phoenix Black Opal Brooch
In the Phoenix chapter, Schlumberger’s iconic Phoenix brooch takes the spotlight, representing rebirth. Inspired by the ancient mythological bird, the fiery design features vibrant gemstones. The collection includes a brooch and ring adorned with striking fire opals and Umba sapphires, as well as rubellites—mirroring the phoenix’s blazing feathers. A dazzling necklace showcases 17 cushion-cut rubellites weighing over 73 carats, highlighting the collection’s opulent essence.
Unicorn Purple Sapphire Ring
The Unicorn theme stems from Schlumberger’s fascination with the mythical creature – particularly its spiraled horn. This chapter showcases a dazzling unicorn brooch featuring a phantasmagorical 25-carat bicolour cushion-cut tourmaline paired with rich purple and pink sapphires that add a dreamlike quality to the design.
Star Burst Crystal Opal Necklace
Star Burst Crystal Opal Ring
To complete the series, the Star Burst chapter actualises luminous galaxies, with designs that sparkle with whimsy. A standout piece in this chapter is a necklace adorned with six oval cabochon crystal opals totalling over 64 carats, set amidst dazzling diamonds, capturing the expansive beauty of the cosmos.
