Tiffany and Co. has unveiled Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder, a high jewellery collection that celebrates the “allure, motion and mystery of the oceans”.
Designed by Nathalie Verdeille, chief artistic officer of Jewelley and High Jewellery, the collection is inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s aquatic designs.
The collection begins with the “lush” world of oceanic plants, captured in “delicate” designs that call to mind an underwater garden.
Notable pieces from the Ocean Flora chapter include a necklace with Zambian emeralds—celebrated for their verdant hues—that float atop a “garden” of diamonds.
The Seahorse chapter, inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s 1968 brooches, reinterprets these creatures with a contemporary twist. The brooch features fluted moonstones and an intricate arrangement of coloured gemstones, including zircons and sapphires.
Meanwhile, the Sea Turtle designs feature diamond-rich patterns and intricate gold details. The geometry of the turtle shell is sublimated by Tiffany artisans, who meticulously engrave each piece.
The Sea Turtle pendant, includes a hidden mechanism that transforms the piece from pendant to brooch.
Additionally, the Starfish chapter deconstructs and reinterprets the creature into high jewellery with celestial overtones.
Utilising unique cutting techniques, each piece offers sculptural “complexity”, with rubies from Mozambique and diamonds accented by 18k yellow gold, rose-cut diamonds and pavé diamonds.
The Urchin chapter draws from the intricate forms of the sea urchin, amplified through Schlumberger’s visionary approach. Paillonné enameling—a 19th-Century technique that Schlumberger is credited with revitalising—adds a thorny texture to the designs while capturing the “iridescent essence” of the sea.
Lastly, the Wave chapter celebrates the dramatic movement of the ocean through sculptural designs. The Wave necklace features over 17 carats of vivid blue cuprian elbaite tourmalines, complemented by diamonds.The piece is inspired by the voluminous forms and dynamic motion found in Schlumberger’s Leaves Necklace.
Verdeille said: “Each piece in our latest Blue Book collection, Sea of Wonder, captivates and invites us to lose ourselves in the rich storytelling as we embark on a journey through uncharted realms of the deep sea.
“While each creation weaves a story of the ocean and its wonders, these extraordinary pieces also tell a broader narrative of the House’s love of pushing boundaries, our relentless pursuit of that which has never been done before, and the spirit of extraordinary savoir faire that has defined Tiffany & Co. since 1837. Drawing inspiration from Jean Schlumberger’s fascination with the sea, our House’s pioneering spirit endures, driving us to reinvent archival inspirations from a modern perspective.”
