Tiffany and Co. unveils Céleste collection

Tiffany and Co. has announced the debut of Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste, the latest offering in its high jewellery collection.

The Tiffany High jewellery is said to celebrate Jean Schlumberger’s “imagination and his fascination with the mysteries of the universe”.

As the second Blue Book collection designed by Nathalie Verdeille, Tiffany’s chief artistic officer of Jewellery and High Jewelry, Tiffany Céleste “adapts” and “rediscovers” Schlumberger’s iconic interpretations of the sun, moon, stars, distant galaxies and fantasy worlds.

The collection will launch in three phases over the course of 2024, debuting in the spring, followed by a summer and fall launch. Portraying Schlumberger’s iconic adaptations of the universe, the spring collection will launch with six distinct chapters: Wings, Arrow, Constellation, Iconic Star, Ray of Light and Apollo.

The Wings theme symbolises “flight and fantasy”, in which the designer’s iconic wing silhouettes features diamonds and sapphires.

The Ray of Light chapter takes inspiration from archival Schlumberger by Tiffany brooches that “emulate gilded sun rays” and feature red spinels. Additionally, the Ray of Light also includes a necklace that converts into a tiara, a style that has not been included in Tiffany Blue Book collections for several years.

Meanwhile, The Iconic Star chapter is inspired by archival Schlumberger sketches and designs, in which the designer explores the star silhouette as an “iconic symbol of the universe”. Expanding on Schlumberger’s allure of the stars, the Constellation chapter encompasses motifs that are defined by elements reminiscent of star patterns. Each of these chapters celebrates his “ingenious lens of the world above”.

The Apollo chapter reimagines the Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Apollo brooch while uplifting quintessential Tiffany and Co. yellow and white diamonds.

Lastly, creations within Arrow are inspired by elements of the Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Trophée de Vaillance brooch, which boasts Colombian emeralds. Tiffany artisans developed custom-cut shapes to mimic the triangular formation of an arrow tip.

Anthony Ledru, president and CEO of Tiffany and Co., said: “The Tiffany Blue Book collection tells the extraordinary story of our legendary craftsmanship with the world’s most exceptional diamonds and gemstones. Each piece of this collection embodies the brilliance and legacy of Jean Schlumberger as reimagined by Nathalie Verdeille.”

Verdeille, chief artistic officer, Jewellery and High Jewellery of Tiffany and Co., added: “Our exploration into [Jean Schlumberger’s] work began with Blue Book 2023: Out of the Blue.

“We immersed ourselves into the depths of the ocean to reinterpret his fantastical vision of the aquatic world. For Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste, in contrast with the sea, the stars provided a new lens to rediscover the extent of Jean Schlumberger’s fantasy world. The new collection traverses all that adorns the skies, as well as that which exists far beyond them.”
