Tiffany & Co. unveiled its highly anticipated Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder collection at the House’s Fifth Avenue flagship in New York City. Reimagining the boutique as an ethereal seascape in delicate pastel hues, the debut event immersed guests in a surreal, underwater reverie. This year’s collection, designed under the creative direction of Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry, evokes the rhythm, mystery, and majesty of the ocean through six intricate thematic chapters: Seahorse, Sea Turtle, Ocean Flora, Starfish, Urchin, and Wave.
Each chapter pays tribute to the marvels of marine life through meticulous craftsmanship, rare gemstones, and exquisite artistry. Whether carved in diamonds, sculpted in gold, or illuminated by emeralds and blue tourmalines, Sea of Wonder transports wearers into a world where the natural and the fantastical converge.
A LEGACY REIMAGINED
More than a collection, Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder is a lyrical continuation of Tiffany & Co.’s design heritage, deeply inspired by the House’s legendary designer, Jean Schlumberger. His fascination with marine life, particularly its sinuous forms and poetic symbolism, serves as the foundation for this oceanic narrative. From the figurative to the abstract, Verdeille carries Schlumberger’s vision forward, pushing boundaries with bold silhouettes, sculptural dynamism, and exceptional gemstones.
Verdeille remarks, “This collection represents the very foundations of our House: inventive design, expert craftsmanship and, of course, gemstones of extreme rarity. Each piece invites us to lose ourselves in the rich storytelling as we embark on a journey through uncharted realms of the deep sea.”
EXPLORING THE CHAPTERS
Each chapter of Sea of Wonder delves into a distinct interpretation of the ocean, honouring its textures, creatures, and movements with exceptional detail and artistry.
Ocean Flora introduces a garden beneath the waves, rendered in radiant emeralds and diamonds from Zambia. A notable necklace features cascading emeralds that appear to bloom among a lattice of brilliant stones, capturing the lush, untamed beauty of aquatic plant life.
Seahorse breathes new life into Schlumberger’s 1968 brooches. Here, moonstones, zircons, and sapphires are arranged to emulate the sea creature’s delicate form. The soft iridescence of the moonstones against the crisp brilliance of coloured gemstones creates a sense of movement and grace.
Sea Turtle embraces geometric intricacy and organic detail. A highlight is the Sea Turtle pendant, featuring a hidden mechanism that allows the piece to transform into a brooch—symbolic of the turtle’s passage between land and sea. Crafted in yellow gold and set with pavé diamonds, the shell’s geometry is masterfully interpreted by Tiffany artisans.
Starfish captures the exuberance of the ocean’s most whimsical forms. Rubies sourced from Mozambique, 18k yellow gold, and rose-cut diamonds are combined using advanced cutting techniques to produce pieces with dramatic curvature and multidimensional sparkle. With celestial overtones, these jewels blur the line between naturalism and abstraction.
Urchin channels Jean Schlumberger’s inventive spirit through texture and light. The collection revisits paillonné enameling, a 19th-century decorative art form that Schlumberger helped revive. These pieces shimmer with thorny elegance, the enameled surfaces echoing the subtle iridescence of deep-sea creatures.
Wave serves as the grand finale—a chapter of fluid architecture and cinematic scale. The Wave necklace features over 17 carats of vivid cuprian elbaite tourmalines that surge like water through white diamonds. Inspired by Schlumberger’s famous Leaves Necklace, the design captures the kinetic power of crashing surf in wearable form.
MASTERPIECES OF MOVEMENT
At its heart, Sea of Wonder celebrates movement—not only the literal motion of water, but the forward motion of high jewellery itself. The collection is rich with transformative elements: pendants that become brooches, gemstones that appear to float, and silhouettes that seem to ripple like waves in the tide. This fluidity is not merely aesthetic, but philosophical—speaking to Tiffany & Co.’s ongoing evolution and dedication to innovation.
Each piece exemplifies Tiffany’s enduring pursuit of excellence, reflecting a balance of heritage and modernity. Techniques drawn from archival craftsmanship are refined and reinvented, resulting in jewellery that is both timeless and boldly contemporary.
AN ODE TO NATURE
As Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder explores the depths of the ocean, it reminds us that nature’s most awe-inspiring wonders are often hidden far from view. In every seahorse, every glinting wave, and every jewel-like urchin, the collection honours the beauty of the unknown, inviting us to rediscover the Earth’s mysteries through an artistic lens.
It is this reverence for the natural world—paired with Tiffany & Co.’s unwavering commitment to creativity, technique, and rarity—that defines the House’s Blue Book legacy. Since 1837, Tiffany & Co. has sought to capture the extraordinary. With Sea of Wonder, it has succeeded once again.
For those captivated by the poetic brilliance of Sea of Wonder, Tiffany & Co. invites you to experience the Blue Book 2025 Collection in person. Select masterpieces from the collection are now on view at Tiffany & Co.’s Vancouver boutique, offering a rare opportunity to encounter these extraordinary creations up close. From sculptural waves set in rare tourmalines to the delicate intricacies of hand-engraved turtle motifs, each piece is a celebration of nature’s elegance and human ingenuity. Step into a world of refinement and wonder, and allow the artistry of Tiffany’s latest high jewellery collection to inspire your imagination.
