Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste
Peacock
With the Peacock chapter, archival Jean Schlumberger designs transform into contemporary expressions inspired by the bird’s iridescent plumage. An intricate, textural brooch featuring a cushion-cut tanzanite of over 13 carats—together with custom-cut green tourmalines—gives new life to the legendary designer’s unique vision.
A breathtaking creation, the Peacock necklace features a dramatic display of over 108 total carats of tanzanites, a Tiffany “legacy gemstone.” We were the first House to acquire the stone following its discovery in Tanzania in 1967. Proudly naming it tanzanite, we introduced it to the world the following year with the first-ever jewellery collection to feature the gemstone.
This inventive bypass-style ring features two feathered elements that wrap around the finger. Tanzanites of over 11 total carats, green tourmalines and diamonds evoke the mesmerising blues and greens of a peacock’s feathers.
The Peacock necklace was crafted over a span of approximately 1,000 hours and set with 17 cushion-cut tanzanites of over 108 total carats, 153 custom-cut baguette green tourmalines of over 33 total carats, 306 custom-cut baguette diamonds of over 38 total carats, 116 triangle-shaped diamonds of over 10 total carats and 708 round brilliant diamonds of over 18 total carats.
“Jean Schlumberger was drawn to the mythical spirit of the peacock. Our interpretation of this creature was inspired by its remarkable iridescent plumage. The colours of the peacock’s feathers are known to create a sense of awe in the observer. The vibrant stones in this chapter will undoubtedly do the same.”
