The “Leaves of the Sun” ring is part of Tiffany’s 2017 Blue Book High Jewelry Collection — The Art of the Wild, inspired by the graceful form of palm
leaves found in nature. The designer captures this organic vitality with tsavorites and yellow sapphires meticulously set to form slender leaves that rise to cradle a magnificent emerald centerpiece.
At the heart of the ring lies a 7.65-carat Colombian emerald, celebrated for its rich, saturated green hue and exceptional clarity—rare enough to be cut into a faceted gem, yet deliberately fashioned into a cabochon to enhance its natural depth of color. Such high-quality cabochon emeralds are seldom seen.
The ring’s rounded, sculptural surface is composed of over twenty palm-like leaves arranged in a swirling pattern. Each leaf tapers elegantly, extending seamlessly from the face to the shank of the ring. Round-cut emeralds and yellow sapphires are set along the leaves, subtly transitioning in tone to evoke the play of sunlight across tropical foliage.
To ensure comfort and balance, the inner shank features an openwork structure that mirrors the swirling motif above—an intricate design that reduces weight while preserving the sense of movement and lightness that defines this radiant creation.
