DIAMONDS WERE THIS GUY’S BEST FRIEND

Tiffany & Co. pays tribute to Jean Schlumberger, one of the

world’s most renowned jewelry designers, with “Joie de Vivre,†a

spectacular jewelry collection on view at Tiffany & Co. at South

Coast Plaza through Sept. 19.

Schlumberger arrived at Tiffany & Co. in 1956, initiating his most

prolific design period. He produced fantastic, timeless pieces. The

collection includes whimsical improvisations on flowers, birds, ocean

life and mystical motifs, sculpted in 18-karat gold and platinum,

with splendid gemstones and brilliant diamonds. Schlumberger’s

fascination with mythical and colorful harmonies of gemstones is

displayed in his Phoenix, Pegasus and Unicorn clips. He combines lush

amethysts, yellow sapphires, tsavorites with rubies and diamonds. His

other pieces include feminine and glamorous earrings and collars, as

well as gold and gem-encrusted boxes and cases.
