Bird on a Rock jewellery line by Tiffany

Tiffany & Co. reimagines the iconic Bird on a Rock in a striking new high and fine jewellery collection.

Tiffany & Co. today unveils a new jewellery collection, ‘Bird on a Rock by Tiffany’, reimagining Jean Schlumberger’s iconic Bird on a Rock motif through the visionary lens of Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Jewellery and High Jewellery. The collection includes new high jewellery suites and marks the debut of designs in the fine jewellery category.

Jean Schlumberger was a major French jewellery designer, mainly known for his work at Tiffany & Co. His probably most famous creations are the Bird on a Rock pieces. The design conceived in 1965, after Schlumberger encountered a yellow cockatoo on his travels. Ever since, the bird motif has perched on the world’s most remarkable diamonds and coloured gemstones, on high jewellery pieces and watches. (More about his work here.)

The collection includes two exceptional haute joaillerie creations. One spotlights tanzanites, while the other celebrates turquoise – both gemstones deeply embedded in Tiffany & Co.’s design heritage. The tanzanite suite features a striking necklace, bracelet and earrings, also with diamonds and rubies.

The turquoise suite is anchored by a statement necklace featuring a diamond bird that appears to grasp strands of cabochon turquoise, accented with gold and diamond feathers throughout and a cabochon turquoise drop, as a centrepiece. The suite also includes a pendant, brooch and ring, each echoing the iconic bird.

In the Bird on a Rock by Tiffany fine jewellery collection, the sophistication and avant-garde artistry of the original Bird on a Rock brooch evolves into bold, textural creations. Each design celebrates nature’s individuality and asymmetry—two qualities that deeply inspired Jean Schlumberger.

There are figurative bird motifs – flying solo or in pairs – and more abstract interpretations in the fine jewellery line. The Bird on a Rock by Tiffany Wings pieces showcase diamonds with hidden settings. When stacked, the scalloped edges of one piece perfectly nestle with the feather-shaped silhouette of the other. One key style, a pair of convertible earrings, offers four different looks, from striking drop earrings to delicate studs.

Bird on a Rock by Tiffany is available starting on September 2 at select Tiffany & Co. stores globally.
