Tiffany & Co. has introduced the 2026 Blue Book Hidden Garden collection, a high jewelry series designed by Nathalie Verdeille alongside the Design Studio. This range reinterprets the artistry of legendary designer Jean Schlumberger through themes of transformation and renewal across ten distinct stories. These include Butterfly, Monarch, Bird on a Rock, Paradise Bird, Parrot, Bee, Jasmine, Marguerite, Twin Bud, and Palm.
Tiffany & Co.'s 2026 Blue Book Hidden Garden collection features hand-formed gold vines, platinum leaves, and geometric structures adorned with exceptionally matched gemstones —from unenhanced padparadscha and Montana sapphires, Fancy Vivid Yellow diamonds, cushion-cut Santa Maria aquamarines from Brazil, and Mexican fire opals to Brazilian rubellites, Ethiopian blue chalcedony, Madagascan spessartine, unenhanced Zambian emeralds, and unenhanced oval rubies from Mozambique. Some pieces incorporate paillonné enamel and custom-cut chrysoprase beads.
