Tiffany & Co. held its first-ever showcase of its curated collection of high jewellery pieces in the Philippines
In any conversation regarding exquisite diamonds, jewels and gemstones, Tiffany & Co.’s name is bound to come up. Their craftsmanship has long been recognised and lauded as some of the finest in the world, but they go even further with their high jewellery, which uses only the most exceptional materials. The design house has brought their most exceptional pieces—over forty—to the Philippines in their first-ever showcase on our shores. To celebrate the collection’s showing in the Philippines, Tiffany & Co. partnered with Tatler to host an intimate dinner at Manila House.

A select group of 35 guests came together to celebrate the unique artisanship of the luxury house. To make the occasion even more special, Tiffany & Co. market director for Singapore and the Philippines Patrick Da Silva was in attendance and proposed a toast in commemoration of the joyous get together.
Several guests arrived donning high jewellery pieces. A popular choice was the Bird on a Rock collection—which some wore as a brooch or a pendant. Beautiful Tiffany Classics and HardWear pieces were also part of people’s ensembles.
Gracing the dinner were Tatler Philippines managing director Irene Martel Francisco, editor-in-chief Anton San Diego, and Tiffany & Co. client relations and communications manager Nikki Martel.

An undeniable attraction in the collection is the PhP 70 million ~ Magnolia necklace. This gorgeous creation is crafted out of light tsavorite, hand-carved milky quartz, pink sapphires, and over 80 carats of diamonds. It is a breathtaking masterwork that beautifully captures the essence of the flower it is moulded after.
Of course, one cannot discuss Tiffany & Co. without mentioning Jean Schlumberger, whose work is nothing short of innovative. His fascination with nature and whimsical imagination pushed the boundaries of what jewellery could be. His now-iconic Bird on a Rock is given a new perch as it sits atop cuts of rubelite, aquamarine, tourmaline, and citrine.
The enchanting lustre of tanzanite was also on full display as part of the classic trifecta of necklace, ring, and earrings. Its deep, blue hues paired with peerless diamonds make it stand out as a powerful statement piece.

In the hands of Tiffany & Co., diamonds are brought to their full potential. Their mastery and superior craftsmanship are unparalleled, as they imaginatively shape these gemstones into forms that defy expectations. Their high jewellery is more than just emeralds on a ring or a sapphire on a brooch. It illustrates how they can be so much more—as an art form in itself. It captures the inherent beauty of our world and expresses it in a way that words cannot.
Those interested in seeing the full high jewellery collection can schedule a visit to the Tiffany & Co. store at Greenbelt 3, Makati. More than forty pieces are on display until December 6, 2024.
