She is one of those women of character who helped forge the Tiffany myth.
While the legacy of her colleague Elsa Peretti very often comes into the limelight, that of Paloma Picasso is not to be outdone.
For many, Paloma is above all the Graffiti necklaces (among the first jewels most offered), its structured hearts or its more romantic olive leaves.
But to cite its most prominent figures of style, we have to go back to the early 1980s, only a few times after entering the New York house, when the daughter of Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot signed some of the most beautiful ornaments from the Blue Book collection.
Well in tune with the times, the necklaces gave pride of place to sweet and lively colors, while the rings were invariably a cocktail with a more than generous volume.
It is besides in front of one of its extraordinary breastplates of 1985 that many visitors of the Tiffany exhibition stopped at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

Here she is now back in front of her sketchbook, more than five years after her last creation for Tiffany, the Melody set.
Here there is no everyday jewelry since Paloma Picasso returns to her first love for couture and joyful jewelry and engages in a crossover of hypnotic stones: morganites, aquamarines, but also shards of tanzanite and incendiary garnets .
All faceted with variable geometry, as she has always loved them.
