JEWELLERY 27
“ Love Birds are a bit like the descendants of the Bird on a Rock. They carry on the legacy of this iconic bird, and that is precisely why they must remain unique,” said Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer, Jewelry and High Jewelry Tiffany & Co.“ The gemstones that accompany these Love Birds play an essential role in this uniqueness. Victoria Reynolds and I choose them one by one for their character, their beauty, their personality— because no two tell the same story.”
Several duos are united by a shared gemstone, one cut as a cabochon, one faceted. For instance, one of the Love Birds brooch pairs is defined by two remarkable rubellites: one centered on an oval rubellite of over 36 carats, the other on a round cabochon rubellite of over 62 carats. Together, they reveal two distinct perspectives of the same remarkable gemstone, showcasing how a single stone can express multiple dimensions of color, shape and character. Other pairings create a sense of poetic tension between two separate gemstone species, such as a morganite with a rubellite, a black opal with an orange topaz or, in one extraordinary combination gray moonstone with a pink tourmaline. This species of gray moonstone distinguished by its exceptional clarity and vivid adularescence, is exquisitely showcased in this unique bird brooch— its rarity is a testament to Tiffany & Co.’ s enduring commitment to acquiring legendary gemstones.
Another pair of Love Birds brooches juxtaposes an oval bi-color tourmaline of nearly 11 carats— exhibiting a beautiful forest green and burgundy color block effect— with a cushion-cut pink tourmaline of nearly 34 carats. These intentional contrasts reveal the individual character of the gemstones while evoking a sense of connection and tension between them. This approach honors the House’ s legacy of artistry, inventiveness and exceptional craft, virtues that lie at the core of each creation.
Technical artistry elevates the collection, including innovative techniques in the newest pendants that allow the chain to pass seamlessly through the bird, creating the illusion of mid-flight. Select creations also spotlight
exceptional Tiffany & Co. legacy gemstones such as kunzite, morganite and tanzanite, honoring the House’ s storied heritage.
With the Bird on a Rock: Love Birds collection, Tiffany & Co. ushers in a new chapter for one of its most emblematic motifs, capturing the soaring spirit of connection, individuality and love.
The collection will debut at an exclusive event during a private event in Gstaad, Switzerland.
