I’m surprised there isn’t a thread for Tiffany designs by Paloma Picasso. I feel that, compared to Peretti and Schlumberger, Paloma doesn’t have as many creations. But I think she warrants her own thread.
Personally, I am a big fan of her graffiti love collection. I have the diamond love ring, in both white gold and rose gold. I alternate rings depending on what color metal I’m wearing, I used to want the pave love pendant as well, but thought it’d be too repetitive. I’m glad I didn’t get it, because I feel like that would be too much love. But I still randomly think about the pendant from time to time. I think her love design is also the most copied. I was at Saks a few weeks ago, and in one of the jewelry cases, there was a ring with love written in thin diamond script. It looked like a sister version of my love ring. Personally, I’m not a fan of the dainty look anymore. But I make an exception for the love line, because I think it’s very stylized, it has good presence vertically and horizontally, and it wouldn’t be possible to recreate Paloma’s handwriting with bigger stones.
Anyways, Paloma, daughter of Pablo Picasso, still has some designs that are in circulation: melody, loving heart, graffiti, olive leaf, and the studio and hexagon lines, which I think replaced the sugar stack collection. I’m hoping this can be a space where we can share her designs, both old and new. And that I can discover some new pieces from her that I haven’t seen before.
(As another side note, I felt that the new vine extension to the Victoria collection really cannibalized on Paloma’s olive leaf collection. The fact that the vine pieces draw from the same type of naturalistic, leaf motif. And that vine and olive are concurrently available for sale at Tiffany. To me, they fill a very similar aesthetic niche for botanical inspired jewelry. Even though the vine is available in platinum with larger diamonds, I feel it’s too similar to olive to warrant having its own pieces.)
