Three Chapters of "Bird on a Rock" Legacy
The new advertising visuals, presented through a series of cinematic images, not only recount the profound historical legacy behind the iconic “Bird on a Rock” design but also highlight its timeless charm that transcends eras while evolving with the times. The short film unfolds in three chapters: Chapter One explores Tiffany's enduring fascination with birds and avian imagery; Chapter Two poetically recreates the moment of inspiration when Jean Schlumberger encountered a rare bird; Chapter Three traces the journey of the Bird on a Rock brooch from a classic jewel to a cultural icon.
Artistic Innovation
Masterfully crafted by Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Tiffany Jewellery and High Jewellery, the new collection features multiple exquisite pieces of high jewellery and introduces this iconic motif to fine jewellery for the first time. The collection celebrates a spirit of positivity and love, offering boundless possibilities. The winged totem, a core element of the “Bird on Stone” design, embodies elegance and sculptural beauty, carrying the auspicious meanings of freedom and dreams. Drawing inspiration from the layered beauty and dynamic tension of bird feathers, the collection uses dazzling diamonds and precious metals to capture the graceful vitality of soaring flight.

Creative Process
Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Tiffany Jewelry and High Jewelry, stated: "When creating the ‘Bird on Stone’ high jewelry collection, we immersed ourselves in observing birds like Jean Schlumberger did, meticulously studying their postures, feathers, and wing structures. Our aim was to recreate the dynamic beauty of birds in flight or at rest upon the wearer. For the new ‘Birds on Stone’ collection, we took a different approach, distilling the core element of ‘flying feathers’ and stylizing it into an elegant, abstract totem. These sculpturally beautiful lines intertwine and unfold within richly textured masterpieces, carrying profound symbolic meaning while radiating abstract aesthetic charm."

Tanzanite and turquoise series
Tiffany & Co.'s new collection presents two sets of exquisite high jewelry pieces: one featuring tanzanite as the centerstone, comprising a magnificent necklace, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings. As one of Tiffany & Co.'s legendary gemstones, tanzanite was introduced by the brand in 1968. The second collection centers on turquoise, paying homage not only to Tiffany's enduring design heritage but also to the legendary designer Jean Schlumberger. He pioneered the creative integration of turquoise into high jewelry, masterfully pairing it with diamonds and other gemstones to forge a new aesthetic expression. The most striking piece in this new turquoise collection is a visually compelling necklace. A lifelike diamond bird perches atop a faceted turquoise strand, its wings adorned with gold and diamonds, creating intricate layers of richness. A large cabochon-cut turquoise stone hangs at the necklace's end, lending an air of opulent elegance to the entire piece. The collection also includes a pendant necklace, a brooch, and a ring, each offering an ingeniously reimagined take on the classic bird motif.
