A magnificent unveiling in New York celebrates the ocean's allure through the lens of Jean Schlumberger and Nathalie Verdeille’s breathtaking designs.

Tiffany & Co., the iconic jeweler of dreams and timeless elegance, has once again transcended the boundaries of high jewelry by unveiling its Blue Book 2025 collection, “Sea of Wonder.” Presented in an intimate soirée at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Maison hosted celebrities and global tastemakers, including brand ambassadors Anya Taylor-Joy and a soul-stirring performance by Alicia Keys. The collection, an ode to the enigmatic beauty and motion of the ocean, was designed by Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry for Tiffany & Co.

This year’s Blue Book collection dives deep creatively and symbolically into the uncharted realms of the ocean. Each piece is a luminous chapter in a larger story, one that merges fantasy and nature, archival legacy and contemporary design, into a stunning marine dreamscape. The Sea of Wonder unfolds in six imaginative chapters: Ocean Flora, Seahorse, Sea Turtle, Starfish, Urchin, and Wave. Every jewel is meticulously handcrafted using rare and exceptional gemstones from unenhanced Mozambican rubies and Zambian emeralds to Fancy Intense Yellow diamonds, blue and green cuprian elbaite tourmalines, fluted moonstones, and sapphires. These materials are shaped through both vintage and modern cutting techniques, revealing Tiffany & Co.’s signature savoir-faire.

Six Chapters of a Mythical Deep-Sea Narrative

1. Seahorse: A Daring Dance of Contrast and Color

The Seahorse chapter pays homage to Schlumberger’s famed 1968 brooches, now reimagined with blue zircons, sapphires, fluted moonstones, and diamonds. Artisans spent approximately 200 hours crafting the Seahorse ring in 18k yellow gold and platinum, featuring a 10-carat blue zircon, 80 round diamonds, and 6 cabochon blue sapphires. Flowing gold ribbons and abstract silhouettes breathe new life into this aquatic icon, showcasing texture, depth, and imagination.
