Tiffany & Co. Launches Summer Chapter Of The Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
Shapes, textures, and shades compete in their flamboyance to celebrate the splendour of nature through precious gems and metals.
The beauty of nature is often fleeting; a flower blooms for a while before it withers, a bird may appear for a moment and then fly away, and a garden changes with the seasons. However, there is a way to carry that special sense of wonder that nature’s enchantment evokes within you wherever you go: through the intricate creations of Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden.
The haute joaillerie collection launches in three phases—spring, summer, and fall—and is designed by Nathalie Verdeille, Senior Vice President and Chief Artistic Officer of Tiffany & Co., alongside the Tiffany Design Studio. The latest chapter focuses on summer, capturing nature in full bloom. Each creation revisits the artistry of legendary Tiffany & Co. designer Jean Schlumberger, reinterpreting the beauty of the natural world through vividly coloured gemstones and exceptional sculptural silhouettes, brought to life through the maison’s savoir-faire.
Schlumberger’s most iconic creation for the house, the Bird on a Rock—first introduced in 1965—continues to act as a fount of inspiration through a series of whimsical brooches dubbed Paradise Bird.
Remarkable birds are perched on gemstones in a profusion of hues, including Australian boulder opals and chrysoprase, American chrysocolla, Namibian purple chalcedony, and Nigerian spessartine. Their vividly coloured plumes are composed of pointillist arrangements featuring unconventional pairings, such as paillonné enamel—a technique popularised by Schlumberger—which creates a multi-dimensional effect, complemented by faceted stones and diamonds.
The summer chapter also includes Nest, Paradise Bird, Daisy, Raffia, Blossom, and Petals. Raffia draws inspiration from the woven textures of natural fibres, reimagining them as intricate, precious creations.
This includes a bracelet, a ring, and a necklace, the latter crafted from platinum and 18k yellow gold and set with seven sugarloaf-cut tanzanites totalling 105.29 carats, punctuated by round rubies and diamonds. The sugarloaf tanzanites are “legacy gemstones”, first discovered by the maison in 1968, and captivate the eye with their rich blue-violet hue. Each piece is threaded with rope-like chains as a homage to Schlumberger’s signature twisted motif, creating the texture and movement of woven materials.
In Daisy, a striking colour combination dazzles, featuring emerald-cut blue zircons paired with rich emerald cabochons, diamond accents, and yellow gold. Each petal is individually handcrafted within a fluid mesh composition, revealing subtle variations in curvature and form that capture the gentle motion of petals in a breeze.
