From the long standing line of classical designs from Tiffany's premier designer, Jean Schlumberger, we are happy to present this timeless bow brooch which is centered by an oval shaped faceted sapphire of approximately 2.65 carats and of deep blue color framed by the three curvilinear platinum ribbons braced in 18 karat yellow gold completed by a pair of matching flowing tapered ribbons with chevron shaped terminals braced set throughout with round brilliant-cut diamonds highlighted by two round brilliant-cut diamonds set onto the shoulders of two of the ribbons with foliate frames. The estimated total weight of the diamonds is 3.50 carat. The brooch is in good condition with minor signs of wear at the high points.



Jean Schlumberger (French, 1907-1987)


Jean Schlumberger was an iconic French jewelry designer among the greats of the twentieth century. Especially known for his time at Tiffany & Co., which he joined as a vice president in 1956, Schlumberger created dazzling jewelry in colorful floral, oceanic and aviary designs. He successfully amalgamated the distinctive sculptural quality from his excellent draftsmanship with the undulating movement of organic forms into imaginative wonders for leading women like Elsa Schiaparelli, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Audrey Hepburn. Schlumberger set the famous Tiffany Diamond in the lavish diamond ribbon necklace for 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and the witty Bird on a Rock brooch which is on permanent display today in New York.



Tiffany & Co.


Founded in 1837, Tiffany & Co. is recognized as the premier American luxury brand. Charles Lewis Tiffany secured his reputation as ‘the king of diamonds’ with his purchase of the world largest yellow diamond in 1878 and with the introduction of the classic six prong diamond engagement ring in 1886. From the introduction to rare and unusual gemstones to the creation of designer jewelry by Jean Schlumberger, Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso, Tiffany & Co. has always maintained its position at the forefront of style and fashion.
