Katia Jundi, Watch and Jewelry Connoisseur and Founder of Katsbling, chats with none other than Victoria Reynolds, Tiffany & Co’s very own Chief Gemologist and VP of Global Merchandising during the Bird on a Pearl event that took place in Dubai from February 21- 26 showcasing their exclusive pieces.
Victoria notes that the ultimate benchmark for all gemstones coming into the Maison is the stunning Tiffany Diamond – the ‘true north” for the brand. The current focus is The Bird on a Pearl Collection, featuring impeccable rare pearls from Mr. Hussein Al Fardan’s collection. Did you know that only one out of every 10,000 oysters will produce a natural pearl?
As “true miracles of nature,” each piece in this collection has been built around the beauty of the pearl itself – with the most perfect 31 carat silver pearl being the most sought after piece and also happens to be the most expensive as well. The design of the birds have also been modernized in a way to accent the pearl; an elegant evolution of the iconic Jean Schlumberger Bird on A Rock designs.
Loyal Tiffany & Co clients and collectors in the region have been inspired and enthusiastic with this exquisite collection that is quickly setting the stage as a cultural icon.
