A passion for rare gemstones fueled Jean Schlumberger’s creativity; and he was known for modernising impressive, stately jewels in whimsical, dreamlike settings often inspired by nature. As one of the 20th century’s most gifted artists, Jean Schlumberger is renowned for his fantastical creations unrivaled in the world of jewellery design.
Jean Schlumberger’s Bird on a Rock is one of the 21st century’s most iconic jewellery designs. The setting was originally designed in the 1960s, after the visionary artist encountered a yellow cockatoo that inspired him. The Bird on a Rock has since been recreated to elevate the world’s most incredible coloured gemstones, most notably the esteemed Tiffany Diamond. Today, we proudly create the timeless design in an array of vibrant gemstones in exceptional cuts and colours.
From stones of incredible size and beauty to nature’s rarest and most astonishing treasures, Tiffany’s immense portfolio of white, yellow and fancy colour diamonds is unlike any other.

Schlumberger’s lively interpretations of the world around him illustrate the immense breadth of his aesthetic. A true artist, Schlumberger began each design with a drawing, many of which were conceived during his travels around the world. Fantastical and surreal, Jean Schlumberger possessed an incredible ability to infuse nature’s creatures with elements of surprise and whimsy, while still paying homage to their pure form.
While Jean Schlumberger is renowned for his incredible interpretations of the natural world, his eye for line and form is equally impressive. Born into a prominent family of textile merchants in Alsace, France, the self-taught Jean Schlumberger’s early beginnings have influenced some of his greatest creations. Striking a perfect balance between opulence and refinement, his woven gold, twisted rope and tassel-inspired jewels ushered in a novel era of modern design.
Jean Schlumberger’s brilliant work celebrates flora and fauna both above and below sea level. Fanciful blends of colour and texture capture the designer’s innate understanding of movement and his stunning creations often infused nature’s wonders with a spirited personality that only a Schlumberger jewel can possess.
