Tiffany & Co. today unveils Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder, an extraordinary high jewelry collection that celebrates the allure, motion and mystery of the oceans. Designed by Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry, the collection embarks on a surreal journey from the figurative to the abstract—inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s legendary aquatic designs. Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder dives into the depths, where the inexhaustible variety of flora and fauna transforms into an ethereal world of wonder. With an evocative color palette that mirrors the iridescent shimmer of underwater light and the bioluminescent dances of oceanic creatures, the collection reimagines the beauty of the deep through Verdeille’s creative lens.

Each chapter of Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder delves into a distinct underwater world evoking everything from the vibrant flora and elusive creatures to the dramatic movement of the waves. The House’s legacy of inventive design and craftsmanship permeates every piece, blending complex artistry with natural inspiration to create a collection that is as emotive as it is awe-inspiring.

The collection begins with the lush world of oceanic plants, captured in delicate designs that call to mind an underwater garden. Notable pieces from the Ocean Flora chapter include a necklace with magnificent Zambian emeralds—celebrated for their rich, verdant hues—that seemingly float atop a garden of diamonds. The Seahorse chapter, inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s iconic 1968 brooches, reinterprets these creatures with a contemporary twist. Fluted moonstones and an intricate arrangement of colored gemstones, including zircons and sapphires, create texture and contrast, bringing these mythical beings to life with both elegance and complexity.

The Sea Turtle designs feature diamond-rich patterns and intricate gold details. The geometry of the turtle shell is beautifully sublimated by Tiffany artisans, who meticulously engrave each piece. A standout design, the Sea Turtle pendant, features a hidden mechanism that transforms the piece from pendant to brooch, reflecting the turtle’s journey from land to sea. The Starfish chapter deconstructs and reinterprets the graceful creature into high jewelry with celestial overtones. Utilizing unique cutting techniques, each piece offers sculptural complexity, with rubies from Mozambique and diamonds accented by 18k yellow gold, rose-cut diamonds and pavé diamonds. The Urchin chapter draws from the intricate forms of the sea urchin, amplified through Jean Schlumberger’s visionary approach. Paillonné enameling—a 19th-century technique that Jean Schlumberger is credited with revitalizing—adds a delicate, thorny texture to the designs while capturing the iridescent essence of the sea. Lastly, the Wave chapter celebrates the dramatic movement of the ocean through powerful, sculptural designs. The breathtaking Wave necklace evokes the opulence of a crashing wave, featuring diamonds accented by vivid blue cuprian elbaite tourmalines of over 17 total carats. The piece is inspired by the voluminous forms and dynamic motion found in Schlumberger’s famous Leaves Necklace.

As Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder reimagines the hidden wonders of the ocean, it reminds us that the most beautiful things in the world often lie in the most unexplored and uncharted realms. This collection is a testament to Tiffany & Co.’s commitment to creativity, craftsmanship and a deep reverence for nature’s infinite mysteries.

Diamond Slump forces Debswana to diversify into copper, platinum and solar

Diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios

Debswana Diamond Company, the 50–50 joint venture between the Botswana government and De Beers, is moving to diversify into copper, platinum and renewable energy as the prolonged downturn in natural diamond demand pressures earnings and forces the industry to rethink its growth strategy.

The company’s board has approved plans to invest in a portfolio of non-diamond projects after revenue fell 46% in 2024, the latest available financial year, highlighting the scale of the downturn in the global diamond market.

The move signals a strategic shift toward commodities with stronger long-term demand fundamentals, particularly copper, which is central to global electrification and energy-transition infrastructure.

Debswana’s diversification reflects a broader industry pivot as diamond producers confront weak consumer demand, rising competition from lab-grown stones and elevated inventories across the supply chain.

The shift is also visible among smaller exploration companies. Botswana Diamonds recently rebranded as Botswana Minerals, signalling its own strategic focus on copper exploration rather than diamonds.

Together, these moves underscore a growing consensus across the sector: the era of diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios anchored in energy-transition metals.
