Tiffany Sixteen Stone enters its most radical aesthetic evolution with a new solitaire and a lineup of all-metal rings, Tiffany & Co. said in a statement.
Tiffany Sixteen Stone’s new solitaire
The Tiffany Sixteen Stone series traces its origins to Jean Schlumberger, who in 1959 brought couture tailoring and textile techniques into high jewelry, Tiffany & Co. said.
The new release places a single center diamond in an unusual X-shaped prong basket, set on a polished platinum band. The house is offering the solitaire in 2 to 2.99 carats, Tiffany & Co. said, and the design pairs platinum with six hand-set 18-karat yellow-gold motifs that appear to “stitch” the stone into the setting.
Design details and craft
The two-tone approach is engineered for extreme precision, combining the hardness of platinum with the warm accents of yellow gold, Tiffany & Co. said. The X-shaped prong basket and the gold motifs require meticulous hand setting to maintain both structural integrity and the signature threadlike visual that defines the line.
Modern stacking and all-metal rings
Alongside the new solitaire, Tiffany & Co. introduced the first all-metal Sixteen Stone ring and five additional designs, expanding the line from high jewelry into pieces suited for daily wear, the house said.
The updated range encourages mixing and stacking, pairing narrow diamond bands with the new solitaire or with the all-metal pieces to create layered looks across occasions and gender expressions. Tiffany & Co. framed the expansion as both an homage to Schlumberger’s original vision and a way for contemporary wearers to express commitment and style.
Designers at Tiffany & Co. emphasized proportion and clean lines to allow the Sixteen Stone pieces to be combined freely, the company said. The all-metal ring offers a simplified silhouette while retaining the signature stitched motif in metal, making it suitable as a stackable piece or a stand-alone band.
For clients and collectors, Tiffany & Co. positioned the new releases as a contemporary translation of Schlumberger’s textile-inspired language, an approach that keeps the original series visually intact while opening new possibilities for everyday wear.
