JEWELLERY 73
Tiffany & Co. unveils the spring launch of Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden, an extraordinary high jewelry collection that explores nature’ s most enchanting secret worlds.
Designed by Nathalie Verdeille, Senior Vice President – Chief Artistic Officer, Tiffany & Co., alongside the Tiffany Design Studio, the collection explores the quiet, almost imperceptible transformations of the natural world. Each story reinterprets the artistry of legendary Tiffany & Co. designer Jean Schlumberger, transforming flora and fauna into sculptural silhouettes brought to life through exceptionally matched gemstones and extraordinary savoir-faire.
“ Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden reflects our continued commitment to creativity, craft and the highest standards of gemology,” said Anthony Ledru, Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany & Co.“ This collection— one of Tiffany & Co.’ s most important traditions for over a century— honors the legacy of Jean Schlumberger while demonstrating how we continue to evolve it for today’ s high jewelry client. Under Nathalie Verdeille’ s creative leadership, and in close collaboration with our gemologists and artisans, we are pushing the boundaries of design and technical excellence.”
The spring launch introduces themes of transformation and renewal; nature’ s cycles guide the narrative, with organic growth and movement expressed through hand-formed gold vines, platinum leaves and geometric structures. The first story, Butterfly, explores a beloved motif in Tiffany & Co.’ s history. Unenhanced padparadscha and Montana sapphires create a delicate interplay of pink-orange and denim-blue hues that echo the fragile, ephemeral beauty of wings. In parallel, two diamond stories emerge: one forming an abstract butterfly through exceptionally matched Fancy Vivid Yellow diamonds and another composed of oval white diamonds that capture the crystalline lightness of the winged creature. Echoing the collection’ s theme of metamorphosis, select pendants can be worn as brooches, reflecting the House’ s enduring tradition of transformable design.
The Monarch story draws from a storied Jean Schlumberger necklace featuring a hidden monarch butterfly, where twisting vines and sculpted foliage are reimagined through handcrafted platinum, 18k yellow gold and pavé diamond elements. Nestled within intricate leaves are exceptionally matched, unenhanced cushion-cut sapphires from Sri Lanka and Madagascar. In a parallel expression, the foliage
becomes a canvas for extraordinary diamonds, including a striking pair of earrings featuring D-color, internally flawless Type IIa emerald-cut diamonds of over 10 total carats. The bimetal seen in these designs reflects the House’ s legacy of artfully weaving together platinum and gold.
In the Bird on a Rock story, Tiffany & Co.’ s emblematic design takes flight once more, perched atop magnificent cushion-cut Santa Maria-hued aquamarines from Brazil. Custom-cut chrysoprase beads create a lush green tableau, amplifying the vibrancy of the aquamarines’ deeply saturated blues. A transformable necklace featuring a pair of animated birds and an aquamarine of over 22 carats may also be worn as a brooch.
