Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry at Tiffany & Co., meticulously reinterprets Schlumberger’s visionary designs through this collection, with each chapter offering a contemporary take on his iconic creations, including the emblematic Bird on a Rock. Verdeille explains, “Each new design is an ode to Jean Schlumberger’s boundless creativity,” blending modern artistry with the designer’s fascination with the mysteries of the universe.
The Owl on a Rock brooches, a modern twist on the classic Bird on a Rock, present the owl perched on a gemstone moon rock. These nocturnal creatures, symbolizing mystery and the spirit world, rest upon dazzling black opals, moonstones, tanzanites, and celestial star sapphires, evoking the magic of the night sky. Each brooch possesses a unique character, crafted to harmonize with the gemstone beneath it.
In a nod to Schlumberger’s celebrated Phoenix brooch, the Phoenix chapter reimagines the mythological bird of rebirth through fiery gemstones. Pieces in this collection feature remarkable fire opals paired with Umba sapphires, as well as rubellites that capture the essence of the phoenix’s flames. A highlight is a stunning necklace adorned with 17 cushion-cut rubellites totaling over 73 carats.
