Each year Tiffany & Co. unveils a stunning collection of one-of-a-kind jewelry for its annual Blue Book. This year marks the second Blue Book for design director Francesca Amfitheatrof. The collection, “The Art of Transformation,” embellishes upon last year’s theme, which also drew its inspiration from the sea. While many pieces are representational, such as a pair of starfish cuffs and a pearl octopus broach, others are more abstract. A stunning 18-karat gold bracelet swirls with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and more to evoke undulating underwater plants. These highly sought-after creations are available by appointment only to select clientele.
