The jewelry artist posessed with an extraordinary imagination and technical skills set first recognized by Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1930s, when she employed him to made spectacular buttons. Subsequently, Schiaparelli commissioned Schulumberger to design costume jewelry for clients.

In 1956, Tiffany & Co president Walter Hoving asked Schlumberger to begin designing for the firm. Disallowed by his parents to pursue any formal training in the jewelry arts, Schlumberger had his own workshop at the company until the late 1970s, when he retired.

The design evokes its splendor with highly innovative designs that exemplify Tiffany’s savoir faire, such as blue cuprian elbaite tourmalines and diamonds set en tremblent in inverted settings that lend a sense of motion and texture to the creations.
