It's A Kind Of Magic
‘‘The most important – and most challenging – criteria is finding a gemstone that is truly exemplary, something that takes your breath away. It’s often more about a feeling you get, which can be very personal. Each gemstone needs to have something magical, an inner beauty that draws us in. Only then do we know that they are truly of Tiffany calibre.” This quote by Victoria Reynolds, chief gemologist at Tiff any & Co., perfectly sums up the luxury jeweller’s highly anticipated 2021 Blue Book Collection, Colors of Nature.

Beyond the technical innovation and masterful craftsmanship that demonstrate Tiffany & Co.’s virtuosity in high jewellery, the spectacular pieces shine a spotlight on the house’s authority in diamonds and its pedigree as a purveyor of coloured gemstones. Venturing outside of the more traditional vernacular of high jewellery, the astounding collection of 128 creations takes beholders on a kaleidoscopic journey through nature’s vibrant chromatic displays.

Showcasing strong, clean lines and ultra-contemporary designs, the collection comprises four overarching themes – Land, Sea, Sky and Earth. Verdant green tourmalines and rare Colombian emeralds are reminiscent of lush landscapes, while azure blue seas and the electric colour swatches of underwater fauna are realised in aquamarines, sapphires and tsavorites. Rare gems, including spinels as well as yellow and orange sapphires, depict otherworldly hues that light up the sky in designs inspired by the world above or the vibrant colours of Earth’s molten core.
