Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder
Mermaid
The Mermaid chapter explores the mythical creature through a surreal lens, uplifting rare Australian black and crystal opals. These luminous gemstones shimmer with otherworldly hues, weaving a tale of mystery, transformation and magic.
The Mermaid ring captures the ethereal spirit of the oceanic maiden, replicating the texture of her fins with sapphires and diamonds that evoke waves wrapping elegantly around a mesmerising oval cabochon black opal of over 8 carats.
Artisans crafted the Mermaid brooch over a span of approximately 596 hours, setting the platinum and 18k rose gold design with an oval cabochon black opal of over 10 carats, 79 round sapphires of nearly 4 total carats and round brilliant diamonds of nearly 9 total carats.
“The most challenging aspect is marrying the design with the gemstones. This is undoubtedly the moment when the stones truly come to life. Tiffany and gemstones share a timeless love story that has been etched into the House’s history from the very beginning. It is our responsibility to honour these treasures by presenting them in the most breathtaking way possible.”
—Nathalie Verdeille, Tiffany & Co. Chief Artistic Officer, Jewellery and High Jewellery
