Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder
Ocean Flora
The ocean comes to life in this chapter as it blooms with fantastic marine plants, evoking an undersea garden. Designs such as the Ocean Flora necklace feature exquisite unenhanced Zambian no-oil emeralds—celebrated for their bright green hue—that appear to float effortlessly above a wave of diamonds. This creation showcases 5 exceptionally matched unenhanced emeralds of over 10 total carats.
Ocean Flora features exceptional diamond-intensive creations, including a magnificent ring uplifting a 16.5-carat, D-colour, type IIa, internally flawless diamond. The impeccable cushion-cut shape is balanced by design elements that echo the chapter’s naturalistic motif, evoking undersea plant life.
Artisans crafted the Ocean Flora necklace over a span of approximately 1,500 hours, setting the platinum design with five unenhanced emeralds of over 10 total carats and 1,351 round brilliant diamonds of over 44 total carats.
“The Ocean Flora chapter features Zambian emeralds possessing a rich green colour and a lively, bright appearance. The colour match and uniform cut across the emeralds, all unenhanced, are incredibly notable. The brightness of the emeralds is beautifully amplified by the crispness of the diamonds.”
—Victoria Wirth Reynolds, Tiffany & Co. Chief Gemmologist
