Tiffany Reinterprets Iconic Jean Schlumberger Pieces in Blue Book

Share

Launched in 1845 as one of the first mail-order catalogs in the United States, the Tiffany Blue Book is now an annually anticipated collection highlighting Tiffany & Co.’s finest one-of-a-kind creations.

This year’s Blue Book, Tiffany Céleste, is the jeweler’s largest to date, with 157 pieces reportedly worth on average a million dollars or more. The third and final phase of the 2024 Blue Book, which has just been released, celebrates the work of the maison’s legendary designer Jean Schlumberger.

“Each chapter began with an intensive study of the subjects or themes that inspired it. For the fall launch of Tiffany Céleste, the Star Burst, Phoenix, Owl on a Rock, and Unicorn chapters reference archival Jean Schlumberger masterpieces, such as his Phoenix brooch,” said Tiffany’s chief artistic director, Nathalie Verdeille, in a statement. “Each new design is an ode to Jean Schlumberger’s boundless creativity.”

Here are a few highlights from the latest release of Tiffany Céleste that honor Schlumberger’s career and role in Tiffany & Co.’s illustrious history.
