Tiffany & Co.’s Fall Expression Of Blue Book 2023: “Out of the Blue” Is An Aquatic Masterpiece

This month, Tiffany Co. revealed the captivating Fall installment of Blue Book 2023: “Out of the Blue.” Building upon the legacy of Nathalie Verdeille’s inaugural Blue Book collection, Tiffany Co.’s Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry pays homage to the marine-inspired masterpieces of Jean Schlumberger while delving into his fantastical interpretation of the sea. This extraordinary collection expands upon five existing themes—Shell, Coral, Pisces, Star Urchin, and Starfish—and introduces a mesmerizing new theme: Sea Anemone. Each masterpiece within the collection embodies Schlumberger’s enigmatic sea symbols, rejuvenating them with contemporary geometric and stylized aesthetics.

Verdeille described the collection as “a dance between mimesis and stylization, representation and figuration, realism and abstraction of nature.” These ocean-inspired creations serve as a tribute to Jean Schlumberger’s profound creative repertoire, breathing new life into his visionary work from half a century ago.

The Sea Anemone theme, often referred to as the “flower of the sea,” showcases the creature’s intricate forms and remarkable versatility. This exciting addition to the Blue Book 2023: “Out of the Blue” collection boasts innovative design mechanisms, including a bracelet adorned with diamonds, blue cuprian elbaite tourmalines, and turquoise that set the gemstones en tremblant, imbuing them with a sense of graceful movement. Other remarkable pieces feature an inverted setting that positions diamonds with their culets facing outward, creating a captivating spiky texture that accentuates the Sea Anemone theme.
