What is love to a dreamer, if not a leap of faith? This question—first posed in Tiffany & Co.’s new Bird on a Rock by Tiffany collection—found its echo in Paris, where the Maison and Lauren Santo Domingo hosted an intimate dinner at Le Grand Café during Paris Fashion Week.
The evening gathered a luminous crowd of guests, including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Laura Harrier, Emma Chamberlain, Paloma Elsesser, Natalia Bryant, and Camille Cottin. Guests arrived for cocktails before a seated dinner, each adorned in Tiffany & Co. designs that shimmered under soft candlelight. The setting—a Parisian classic made modern for the night—felt suspended in its own quiet splendor: conversations unfolding over fine wine, laughter gliding across the room like wings midair.
The dinner marked the debut of Bird on a Rock by Tiffany, a reimagining of Jean Schlumberger’s legendary design through the visionary lens of Nathalie Verdeille, Chief Artistic Officer of Jewelry and High Jewelry. The collection centers on the wing motif—graceful, sculptural, and symbolic—drawing inspiration from the layered beauty and delicate tension of a bird’s plumage. Introduced in both high jewelry and fine jewelry forms, the collection celebrates love as motion, abstraction, and infinite possibility.
Inside Le Grand Café, that same spirit took shape in human form. Guests mingled beneath soft lighting, their Tiffany pieces glinting as they turned toward one another in conversation. There was a feeling that mirrored the jewelry itself—elevated, fluid, and full of emotion.
If the collection was about love’s architecture—its faith, its asymmetry, its boundless potential—then the dinner was love embodied. Not romantic love alone, but the collective kind. The love between women who understand beauty as both armor and offering. The love that sits beside you at a dinner table and makes you believe that, maybe, this is what it means to fly.
