TIFFANY & CO. REIMAGINES THE ICONIC BIRD ON A ROCK IN A STRIKING NEW HIGH AND FINE JEWELLERY COLLECTION
Tiffany & Co. unveils a new jewellery collection, Bird on a Rock by Tiffany, reimagining Jean Schlumberger’ s iconic Bird on a Rock motif through the visionary lens of Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of jewellery and High jewellery.
The collection includes new high jewellery suites and marks the debut of designs in the fine jewellery category, all of which celebrate the soaring optimism and boundless potential of love. At the heart of the Bird on a Rock collection is the wing motif— graceful, sculptural and symbolic. Inspired by the layered beauty and delicate tension of a bird’ s plumage, the designs take flight in radiant diamonds and precious metals.
“ For the high jewellery Bird on a Rock designs, we studied birds as Jean Schlumberger did— carefully observing their stances, their feathers, the structures of their wings— to create dynamic forms that seem to flutter and perch upon the wearer,” said Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer, Tiffany & Co.
“ For the fine jewellery collection, we looked at this bird from another perspective, distilling it down to its essence— the wing— and stylizing the motif into elegant, abstract patterns. These sculptural forms intertwine and unfold in textural creations that are as abstract as they are symbolic.”
The collection includes two exceptional high jewelry suites. One is centered around tanzanites— an iconic Tiffany & Co.“ legacy gemstone” that the House introduced in 1968— while the other celebrates turquoise, a gemstone deeply embedded in Tiffany & Co.’ s design heritage. The use of turquoise is also a nod to Jean Schlumberger, who featured the gemstone in high jewelry, juxtaposing it in surprising ways, such as with diamonds. The tanzanite suite features a striking necklace, bracelet and earrings.
