Following a deep dive into the sea with its Out of the Blue collection in 2023, Tiffany & Co continues its exploration of the allure, motion and mystery of the ocean with its latest majestic high jewellery collection named Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder.
Imagined by Nathalie Verdeille, its chief artistic officer, the range is inspired by former designer Jean Schlumberger’s iconic aquatic designs.
“This collection represents the very foundations of our house: inventive design, expert craftsmanship and, of course, gemstones of extreme rarity. Each piece in our latest Blue Book collection captivates and invites us to lose ourselves in rich storytelling as we embark on a journey through uncharted realms of the deep sea,” says Verdeille.
Boasting six chapters — namely Seahorse, Sea Turtle, Ocean Flora, Starfish, Urchin and Wave — Blue Book 2025 presents sparkling ornaments produced from various precious gemstones, from tourmalines and rubies to Zambian emeralds and natural diamonds, set using traditional and modern techniques.
A standout treasure that draws from Schlumberger’s famed 1968 brooch is embellished with over 12 carats of blue zircons, cabochon sapphires, moonstones and diamonds, complete with flowing gold “ribbon” details. Meanwhile, volume and dimension are the focus for Wave. Artisans took approximately 1,000 hours to craft the white and yellow gold necklace, adorned with 105 oval and 734 round diamonds totalling over 29 and 60 carats, respectively.
The collection was exhibited at an intimate celebration in New York, with friends and celebrities decked out in Blue Book pieces, both old and new. Brand ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy, actress Greta Lee and recent Oscar winner Mikey Madison were among the guests, entertained with a special performance by Alicia Keys.
