Tiffany & Co. has unveiled the highly anticipated spring segment of its extraordinary high jewelry collection, Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden. The assortment explores the enchanting secret worlds of nature, twinkling in natural diamonds like sparkling beads of morning dew on flower petals and blades of grass.
Designed by Nathalie Verdeille, Senior Vice President, Chief Artistic Officer of the American luxury jewelry house, alongside the Tiffany Design Studio, the new collection embodies a botanical oasis, filled with florals, birds, butterflies, and bees.
Exploring the subtle yet magnificent transformations of the natural world, each design reinterprets the artistry of one of the most gifted artists of the 20th century, Tiffany & Co. designer Jean Schlumberger, who also found inspiration in the flora and fauna he encountered on his many travels.
Meet the Expert
Anthony Ledru is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Tiffany & Co., a role he assumed in January 2021. He brings decades of experience in luxury retail, having held senior leadership roles at Louis Vuitton and LVMH.
In 1956, Tiffany chairman Walter Hoving struck gold when he discovered the self-taught French-born jewelry designer and brought him on board, inviting him to join as Vice President. Until his retirement in the late 1970s, Schlumberger conceived of diamond birds of fancy soaring through the great blue sky, and glittering butterflies landing on delicate floral vines and leaves. His inspiration was always firmly rooted in nature, with motifs that feel as organic as diamonds themselves, formed deep within the Earth.
“Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden reflects our continued commitment to creativity, craft and the highest standards of gemology,” says Anthony Ledru, Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany & Co. “This collection—one of Tiffany & Co.’s most important traditions for over a century—honors the legacy of Jean Schlumberger while demonstrating how we continue to evolve it for today’s high jewelry client. Under Nathalie Verdeille’s creative leadership, and in close collaboration with our gemologists and artisans, we are pushing the boundaries of design and technical excellence.”
The spring launch dives deep into themes of transformation and renewal, letting nature’s rhythm tell the story of Blue Book 2026. As with any good book, the collection is arranged in chapters, with organic growth and fluid movement conveyed through meticulously hand-crafted gold vines, platinum leaves, geometric structures, and natural diamond creatures. As Schlumberger once said, “I try to make everything look as if it were growing, uneven, organic. I want to capture the irregularity of the universe.”
The Butterfly Motif Flutters in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
Our first chapter of the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden collection explores the butterfly, a beloved motif throughout the history of Tiffany & Co. Both abstract representations and realistic winged creatures fly through the assortment in Fancy Vivid Yellow diamonds and white oval-shaped diamonds, respectively. Echoing the fragile, ephemeral beauty of wings and the collection’s theme of metamorphosis and rebirth, select pendants are detachable and can be worn as brooches, reflecting the House’s enduring tradition of transformable design and versatility.
Gwyneth Paltrow allowed us our first peek at the collection at the 2026 Oscars, wearing a Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond necklace on the red carpet. Letting her diamonds shine against her sleek, strapless ivory silk Armani Privé gown, the Marty Supreme actress teased the assortment with a one-of-a-kind Tiffany & Co. platinum and 18-karat yellow gold necklace featuring three oval-shaped Fancy Vivid Yellow diamonds. Sitting within a bed of lavish white diamonds, an internally flawless, Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond of 2.19 carats is paired with a 1.51-carat VVS2 Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond, and a 1.51-carat VVS1 Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond.
Harking back to the collection’s reverence for Jean Schlumberger, one of the designer’s most memorable pieces championed the butterfly. In collaboration with his close friend, heiress to the Listerine fortune, Bunny Mellon, the pair conjured the idea of a butterfly-themed choker, which evolved into two matching bracelets that could be connected. One of his earliest creations for Tiffany & Co., Mellon has proposed the idea of a butterfly-themed choker, which evolved into two matching bracelets that could be connected. While Mellon preferred the bracelets, Schlumberger preferred the choker. The transformable element of the bauble was the perfect compromise and further enhances the poignant ties to the Blue Book 2026 versatile butterfly theme.
The Monarch Design Reimagines a Jean Schlumberger Classic in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
The Monarch design was inspired by a storied archival Schlumberger necklace, featuring a hidden monarch butterfly. The new motif reinterprets twisting vines and sculpted foliage with entirely handcrafted platinum, articulated 18-karat yellow gold, and pavé diamond leaf details through a contemporary lens.
Nestled within intricate leaves are exceptionally matched, unenhanced cushion-cut sapphires from Sri Lanka and Madagascar. In a parallel expression, the foliage becomes a canvas for extraordinary diamonds, including a striking pair of earrings featuring D-color, internally flawless Type IIa emerald-cut diamonds of over 10 total carats. The bimetal seen in these designs reflects the House’s legacy of artfully weaving together platinum and gold.
The Bird on a Rock Returns in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
In the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden collection, Tiffany & Co.’s iconic Bird on a Rock design spreads its natural diamond wings above magnificent cushion-cut Santa Maria-hued aquamarines from Brazil, set against vibrant green custom-cut chrysoprase beads that paint the picture of a lush garden in bloom.
Rendered in platinum and 18-karat yellow gold, a pair of drop earrings, a ring, a bracelet, and a transformable necklace get the Hidden Garden treatment. The necklace’s central Bird on a Rock pendant, featuring a pair of animated diamond birds and a 22.6-carat aquamarine, can be removed and used as a brooch.
For nearly six decades, Schlumberger’s Bird on a Rock has soared, perching on the lapels of Hollywood’s brightest stars. First sketched in 1965, the whimsical design has long since taken flight as one of Tiffany & Co.’s most legendary creations. Inspiration struck when Schlumberger encountered a yellow cockatoo outside of his home in Guadeloupe. He dreamt up a whimsical pavé diamond feathered creature with sapphires for eyes, daintily perched upon a large gemstone. His debut iteration included the signature diamond bird sitting on a large light brown topaz.
With its sparkling natural diamonds and playful silhouette, the Bird on a Rock remains a beloved icon—one that honors its storied past while effortlessly keeping pace with the present.
The Paradise Bird Takes Flight in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
In the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden collection, the Paradise Bird continues the avian theme through an array of fantastical brooches, celebrating the brightest of colors and exotic silhouettes. The Bird on a Rock is reinvented with each extraordinary creation, featuring a fanciful bird poised atop a vibrant, captivating gemstone, such as a Mexican fire opal, a Brazilian rubellite, an Ethiopian blue chalcedony, or a Madagascan spessartine. Diamond-encrusted feathers unfold with resplendent arrangements of richly hued gemstones to complement their center stone. Some brooches can even transform into a pendant to experience the full versatility the Paradise Bird has to offer.
The Bee Buzzes Through Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
Inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s iconic Two Bees ring, the Bee motif delves into a sophisticated melding of geometric patterns and organic movement in the form of honeycomb-inspired lattices. Oval-shaped diamonds are set within platinum and 18-karat yellow gold, transforming the archival design into an elegant, modern rendition.
A transformable, detachable diamond drop pendant features a D-color, internally flawless oval-shaped 6.08-carat stone on a necklace featuring delicate diamond hexagonal honeycombs. The Bee earrings include two D-color, internally flawless, Type IIa oval-shaped diamonds of over 10.12 total carats with additional diamond accents. And last but not least, a remarkable ring uplifts another D-color, internally flawless oval-shaped diamond, this time of 10.17 carats, framed by two sophisticated hidden figural bees.
Jasmine Flourishes in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
Native to tropical regions, Jasmine is yet another floral expression planted throughout the collection. Sculptural trellis motifs are brought to life through intricate platinum braiding, wrapped around impressive cushion-cut diamonds and cushion-cut lilac-colored kunzites —one of Tiffany’s “legacy gemstones” – delicately uplifting the jasmine floral motif
The Jasmine suite sourced inspiration from Schlumberger’s legendary Jasmine necklace from 1962. An essential piece in Bunny Mellon’s jewelry collection, the Jasmine necklace perfectly demonstrates Schlumberger’s playful disregard for convention when designing diamond pieces.
The Marguerite Daisy Blossoms in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
In the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden collection, the Marguerite, a daisy-like perennial plant, is sculpted with platinum petals in two distinct interpretations. One suite pops with color, with the help of unenhanced pink sapphires. The other is composed of emerald-cut white diamonds that deconstruct the marguerite floral form, experimenting with negative space to create an unexpectedly bold design.
Natural Diamonds and Sapphires Bloom in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
The Bloom motif captures the ephemeral moment before a flower unfurls and comes to life. Soft, unenhanced pink and purple sapphires accented with natural diamonds evoke imagined blossoms. Crafted in warm 18-karat yellow gold, bulbous spheres gather around emerald-shaped sapphires, interspersed with diamonds. Throughout the creations, no two elements are exactly symmetrical, exhibiting the asymmetrical organic essence of nature and paying tribute to Schlumberger’s unique bombé designs.
The Twin Bud Gets a New Twist in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
The Twin Bud design reinterprets Schlumberger’s storied archival motif through articulated platinum vines, sculpted into intersecting, organic twists. Bold, vivid green pear-shaped unenhanced Zambian cabochon emeralds light up the luminescent diamond suite, like twin buds fresh after sprouting. The tendrilled foliage is punctuated by pear-shaped, bright-cut and cut-down diamonds with 18-karat gold-tipped buds to add texture.
Schlumberger designed the original “Twin Buds” brooch in the 1970s, with two pavé-set natural diamond cone-shaped buds, entwined 18-karat gold stems.
The Palm Design Captures Nature’s Movement in Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden
The Palm chapter completes the spring launch of the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden collection. Intricately twisting, entwined natural diamond leaves reveal unenhanced oval rubies from Mozambique in East Africa. Expertly matched to their fluorescence and vivid hue, these gems are a prime example of Tiffany & Co.’s legacy of sourcing exceptional stones. In a parallel suite, radiant cushion-cut diamonds and diamond accents in cut-down pavé settings capture the fluid movement and shining brilliance of sunlit foliage. The Palm designs are inspired by Schlumberger’s ability to replicate the gentle motion of palm trees in his sketches and fabled jewels.
