For its Blue Book 2023 collection, Tiffany & Co. looked to the ocean and legendary jeweller Jean Schlumberger for inspiration.
For those not in the know, Schlumberger changed the jewellery game. Initially finding fame working under Elsa Schiaparelli in the late ’30s and early ’40s, he was invited to join Tiffany & Co. as vice-president in 1956 at the age of 50. Under his tenure, the brand transformed, and Schlumberger’s legacy was defined by dynamic designs, colourful gemstones, unparalleled craftsmanship and his love of nature.
The colour choices are also unexpected but purposefully so. “Because Blue Book 2023 was about the ocean, blues were clearly very important,” shares Reynolds. So to counter the cool tones, she and Verdeille added some warmth with unique gems like padparadscha sapphires. “Pink and orange sapphires are already very rare, so in order to find 100 padparadscha ones, I have to look at 1,000,” she adds.
