Bird on a Rock Designs Take Flight
An homage to the House’s most celebrated brooch, first introduced by Jean Schlumberger in 1965, the Bird on a Rock collection features designs conceived by Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille. Showcasing Tiffany’s extraordinary diamonds and unparalleled artistry, the collection embodies joy, optimism and possibility.
Wings in Motion
These expressions distill the House’s most emblematic creation to its essence: the wing.
Master artisans employ innovative high jewelry setting techniques to evoke the texture and motion of feathers. Diamonds are placed by hand in abstract patterns to create intricate plays of light.
Flight of Fancy
For over two years, the House’s renowned jewelry designers studied the anatomy of birds in motion to precisely render the avian form in brilliant diamonds, platinum and yellow gold.
Drawing on unparalleled expertise in high jewelry, master artisans sculpt and assemble seven components by hand to create each magnificent bird.
An Icon of the Imagination
One of the 20th century’s most revered jewelry designs, the Bird on Rock brooch was designed by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany in 1965. Capturing the visionary artist’s enduring fascination with nature, the brooch was inspired by rare birds that he encountered during his travels to Asia and the Caribbean.
