Jean Michel Schlumberger (1907-1987) was one of the leading jewellery designers of the
20th century. He began his career in jewellery as a designer of buttons and costume jewellery for fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli in France. After WW2, he moved to New York, where he was hired by Tiffany and Co. in 1956 to head his own jewellery department and workshop that created pieces for Greta Garbo, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, Wallis Simpson, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn among many other luminaries.

Schlumberger created the famous necklace with the Tiffany Yellow Diamond and you can read more about the artist on Tiffany & Co's website where he describes his approach to design: "I try to make everything look as if it were growing, uneven, at random, organic, in motion."

Founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany, the house of Tiffany & Co has become one of the most famous jewellers in the world, with its iconic blue box. In 1878 the company
acquired the 287.42 carat diamond now known as the Tiffany Diamond from South Africa.

This stone was worn by Audrey Hepburn in a necklace in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s in
1961. Tiffany & Co named Kunzite in 1902, Morganite in 1910, Tanzanite in the 1960s and Tsavorite in 1974. The house has collaborated with designers including Jean Schlumberger and Donald Claflin ( since 1955), Paloma Picasso ( since 1980) and Elsa Perreti( since 1974) and has been worn by royalty throughout the world.
