Tiffany’s Blue Book setting has been released for several years, but this year, something quite exotic and unique appeared, as that features the world’s most spectacular jewels.
In order to celebrate the 2009 Blue Book Collection, Tiffany transformed the fifth floor of its flagship store into a high-gloss environment of black and white that showcased the city of glamour and legend where Tiffany was founded and where fashion reigns.
What the previous Blue Book present us a array of gems: sapphires from violet and blue to pink and yellow, color-saturated emeralds, tourmalines, kunzite, spessartite, grossularite, rubellite and more radiate fire and light in medallion pendants, long drop earrings and lavish cocktail rings, such as Jean Schlumberger’s brilliant “blossoms” emerging from diamond leaves and petals.
However, Tiffany’s jewelers in New York and Paris recreated a number of Schlumberger designs for Blue Book 2009, including the Fleurage bracelet of fancy-colored sapphires and diamonds, Leaves necklace with beautifully matched green tourmalines, and Dahlia bracelet bursting with yellow sapphires. This fanciful harvest is augmented by legendary designer Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose Art Nouveau-style stained glass and jewelry inspire a peacock necklace with a 15.80 carat tanzanite and brooch with plumage of sapphires, tourmalines and diamonds.
This collection post a closer look at the precision of Tiffany’s custom-designed settings and time-honored jewelry techniques, including the enameling in Indian-inspired diamond earrings. This attention to detail unites the Blue Book Collection in a heritage of craftsmanship that goes beyond the expert setting of stones. In the magical world of Tiffany design, pink sapphires turn into cherry blossoms and diamonds are spun into lace; cameos are carved into flowers; and turquoise is carved into a charm depicting the famous Tiffany Blue Box., the ultimate symbol of luxury that wraps the most extraordinary jewels of all.
