An homage to the House’s most celebrated brooch, first introduced by Jean Schlumberger in 1965, the Bird on a Rock evolves with new designs conceived by Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille. Showcasing Tiffany’s extraordinary diamonds and unparalleled artistry, the collection embodies joy, optimism and possibility.
Master artisans employ innovative high jewellery setting techniques to evoke the texture and motion of feathers. Diamonds are placed by hand in abstract patterns to create intricate plays of light.
Drawing on unparalleled expertise in high jewellery, master artisans sculpt and assemble seven components by hand to create each magnificent bird.
An Icon of the Imagination
One of the 20th century’s most revered jewellery designs, the Bird on Rock brooch was designed by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany in 1965. Capturing the visionary artist’s enduring fascination with nature, the brooch was inspired by rare birds that he encountered during his travels to Asia and the Caribbean.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
Each Bird on a Rock brooch is created by a team of Tiffany artisans who bring years of experience and the utmost passion to their craft. More than eight artisans work together to bring a single brooch to life over the span of 50 hours, a testament to the spirit of exceptional craftsmanship that has defined Tiffany for nearly two centuries.
