Tiffany & Co. revisits Jean Schlumberger’s 1957 Apollo design with new additions.
Tiffany & Co. has introduced new pieces from the Apollo by Tiffany collection, a continuation of Jean Schlumberger’s original designs first introduced in 1957. The collection takes its name from the Greek god Apollo and draws on the eternal power of the sun. The designer’s interpretation of this theme remains central to the new pieces, which build on his legacy of inventiveness and distinctive artistic vision.
Each piece in the collection is crafted in a combination of 18-carat yellow gold and platinum. The design is defined by sculptural rays that curve outward from a central point, evoking the look of solar flares. Pavé diamonds are artfully set into each design, with a mise-à-jour setting on the back that allows light to filter through, enhancing the stones’ brilliance and giving each piece its shimmer.
The new additions are available in both large and medium formats. The big pendant is made from yellow gold and platinum with pavé diamonds, while the medium pendant includes nearly five carats of diamonds and comes on an almost 45cm chain. The ring is offered in two sizes, where the large version carries the same visual design and the medium ring is set with more than four carats of pavé diamonds. In brooches, the large one is set with over six carats of diamonds, while the medium version contains more than four. The collection also includes medium ear clips, designed in yellow gold and platinum and featuring the diamonds used throughout the collection, totalling nearly six carats.
These designs emphasise form as much as material, with a focus on the interplay between gold, platinum and light. Though updated, the pieces remain closely tied to the original Apollo clip from 1957, both in aesthetic and intent.
