DIAMONDS WERE THIS GUY’S BEST FRIEND

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

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.
