Tiffany & Co. has unveiled the highly anticipated Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste, an extraordinary addition to its renowned high jewelry collection. This captivating collection pays homage to Jean Schlumberger’s imaginative artistry and his fascination with the cosmos. Under the creative direction of Nathalie Verdeille, Tiffany’s Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry, Tiffany Céleste brings Schlumberger’s iconic visions of the sun, moon, stars, and galaxies into a new light.
“The Tiffany Blue Book collection tells the extraordinary story of our legendary craftsmanship with the world’s most exceptional diamonds and gemstones,” said Anthony Ledru, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany & Co. “Each piece of this collection embodies the brilliance and legacy of Jean Schlumberger as reimagined by Nathalie Verdeille.”
A Phased Launch Celebrating Cosmic Inspiration
Tiffany Céleste will debut in three phases throughout 2024, with the first launch set for spring. The collection will feature six distinct themes: Wings, Arrow, Constellation, Iconic Star, Ray of Light, and Apollo. Each theme celebrates Schlumberger’s unique interpretations of the universe.
Wings and Ray of Light: A Journey Through Fantasy
The Wings chapter symbolizes flight and fantasy, showcasing Schlumberger’s iconic wing silhouettes in dazzling diamonds and sapphires. The Ray of Light theme draws inspiration from archival brooches, featuring red spinels that evoke the delicate beauty of sunlight. Among these exquisite designs, a versatile necklace that transforms into a tiara stands out—a feature not seen in Tiffany Blue Book collections for years.
Iconic Star and Constellation: Celestial Motifs
The Iconic Star chapter explores star silhouettes, inspired by Schlumberger’s archival sketches. The Constellation theme captures motifs reminiscent of star patterns, highlighting Schlumberger’s innovative perspective on the cosmos.
Apollo and Arrow: A Tribute to Legacy
The Apollo chapter reinterprets the classic Apollo brooch, showcasing Tiffany’s signature yellow and white diamonds. The Arrow theme takes inspiration from the 1941 Trophée de Vaillance brooch, featuring striking Colombian emeralds shaped into custom-cut arrow tips.
A Cosmic Exploration
“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,” said Nathalie Verdeille. “The new collection traverses all that adorns the skies, as well as that which exists far beyond them.”
Dreamlike and imaginative, Tiffany Céleste draws exclusively from Schlumberger’s legacy, transforming his surrealist designs into breathtaking new creations. This exclusive collection will launch at an intimate Tiffany High Jewelry celebration this spring, inviting luxury enthusiasts to experience a celestial journey through exquisite craftsmanship and artistry.
