Tiffany & Co. announced the fall expression of Blue Book 2023: Out of the Blue. A continuation of Nathalie Verdeille’s first Blue Book collection for Tiffany & Co., the House’s Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry pays homage to Jean Schlumberger’s marine-inspired masterworks and explores his fantastical perspective of the sea.
“Often described as the flower of the sea, the Sea Anemone theme honors the dexterity of this creature’s forms.”
Tiffany & Co. will expand on five of the collection’s existing themes-Shell, Coral, Pisces, Star Urchin, and Starfish-and reimagine Schlumberger’s vision in a new theme: Sea Anemone. With geometric and stylized aesthetics, each masterpiece perpetuates and reinvents Schlumberger’s enigmatic symbols of the sea.
Often described as the flower of the sea, the Sea Anemone theme honors the dexterity of this creature’s forms. This new addition to the Blue Book 2023: Out of the Blue collection features highly innovative design mechanisms such as a bracelet containing diamonds, blue cuprian elbaite tourmalines, and turquoise set en tremblant, lending a sense of subtle motion and movement. Other creations are designed with an inverted setting consisting of diamonds with their culets facing out, lending a spiky texture and magnifying the Sea Anemone theme.
Additional notable creations from the fall launch include: a Shell necklace featuring diamonds and a striking blue cuprian elbaite tourmaline of over 10 carats; a Pisces necklace with an unenhanced orange sapphire of over 23 carats; a Coral necklace with unenhanced purple sapphires of over 37 total carats and diamonds; and a Starfish pendant with diamonds and an unenhanced green cuprian elbaite tourmaline of over 22 carats.
