Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder
Starfish
This chapter reimagines a quintessential sea creature, the starfish. Exceptionally matched unenhanced rubies from Mozambique, Africa, bring a mesmerising quality to the creations. Round brilliant diamonds layered over rose-cut diamonds, as well as gold tendrils, bring dimension and texture to each piece. One transformable pendant, set with over 3 total carats of these exceedingly rare rubies, can also be worn as a brooch.
These pieces draw inspiration from a diamond-and-pearl brooch designed by Jean Schlumberger during his first year at Tiffany & Co. in 1956. The modern interpretation beautifully reinvents the original in an array of textured silhouettes, including these platinum and 18k yellow gold earrings featuring over 4 total carats of unenhanced rubies.
Artisans crafted the Starfish ring over a span of approximately 270 hours, setting the platinum design with an unenhanced ruby of over 6 carats, 96 rose-cut diamonds and 119 round diamonds of over 4 total carats.
“The rubies that we acquired for the Starfish chapter possess this gemstone’s most sought-after qualities: a strongly saturated red colour with a splash of fluorescence that is further enhanced by their high clarity. The unenhanced nature of these gemstones, coupled with the perfectly matched red colour and cut, is extremely rare. They are complemented by rose-cut and round brilliant diamonds that add a bit of an antique inspiration with a modern twist.”
