In his lifetime, jewelry designer Jean Schlumberger counted among his fans such glamorous women as Bunny Mellon, Jacqueline Kennedy and Diana Vreeland. Beginning in the mid-1950s, he worked for Tiffany & Co. for nearly two decades, producing many iconic designs still in production today, like the iconic Bird on a Rock collection from 1965. Nearly 70 years after he began at the company, admirers of Schlumberger‘s work are still plentiful. If you need proof, you need look no further than the 2025 Emmys, where numerous stars walked the red carpet adorned with his designs.
One of the night’s best-dressed celebrities was Chloë Sevigny, who created an Old Hollywood look with Saint Laurent. A Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. Maltese Cross brooch sat on each strap of the actress’s black gown, adding a slightly harder edge to its feminine lines. There as cast member of The Studio, which became the most awarded comedy series ever that night, Chase Sui Wonders complemented her structured Thom Browne dress with earrings from the new Tiffany collection that reinterprets Schlumberger’s Bird on a Rock designs.
The master jeweler’s rings adorned the hands of actresses Molly Gordon, who paired her strapless Giorgio Armani gown with a Sixteen Stone ring, and Meghann Fahey, sporting an Ailsa ring with her plunging Valentino dress. Selena Gomez, who often wears Tiffany & Co. jewels on the red carpet, enhanced her red Louis Vuitton gown with diamond-and-ruby Tiffany & Co. earrings from the 2025 Blue Book collection and not one but two Schlumberger diamond rings: the Stitches and Vigne models. It’s safe to say Schlumberger’s legacy is secure.
