Behind the Design: The Pisces Brooch
The Art in Artisanal
The Pisces brooch reimagines an archival Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany design. A Tiffany artisan crafted the design by hand. Here, they compare the gold casting with the wax model before assembling the individual pieces.
Crafting the Extraordinary
As the castings are assembled, an artisan carefully polishes each setting before the gemstones are individually hand set in the metal.
“There is nothing more modern than pushing boundaries and creating with a passion to explore the unknown. This idea was, of course, close to Jean Schlumberger’s heart as well.”
—Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer, Tiffany & Co.
