Francesca Amfitheatrof’s first Blue Book collection for Tiffany

Tiffany Blue Book jewelry honors the sea as the ultimate source of life and beauty.

The power of the sea

The beauty in the flora found deep below the surface of the sea inspired Tiffany’s colorful gardens blooming with brilliant gemstones in the 2015 Blue Book. Inspired by the power and the beauty of the sea, these couture jewels, the first creations of designer Francesca Amfitheatrof for Tiffany Blue Book Collection, capture water’s energetic and fluid soul. Sapphires and diamonds represent the riches of the sea and the strength and power of waves. A sea of mixed-cut gemstones, including spessartites, tsavorites, sapphires and aquamarines evoke the diversity of deep-sea life. Sapphires, aquamarines and diamonds in 18k white gold form underlays of rich, radiant color.

“The jewels of the 2015 Blue Book capture water’s energetic and fluid soul, by turns shimmering and brilliant, moody and profound. “Water has endless permutations, never still, never the same.It is nature’s most changeable element.”” said Francesca Amfitheatrof, Tiffany & Co. design director.
