Tiffany Co. opens its first Thai exhibition with Schlumberger icons and the Tiffany Diamond. Free entry starts August 29.
Tiffany Co. has chosen Bangkok for its first exhibition in Thailand and, by extension, its first in Southeast Asia. Legendary Legacy runs August 21 through September 7 at One Bangkok, Tower 4, signaling the house’s intent to deepen its presence in the region. For a city long attuned to jewelry culture, the arrival reads as both overdue and right on time.
The curators have anchored the show around Jean Schlumberger, Tiffany’s longtime creative partner and one of the most inventive jewelers of the 20th century. Visitors will find the Elephant brooch in diamonds, emeralds and turquoise, the 1941 Trophée de Vaillance clip, and the Hedges and Flowers necklace with yellow sapphires, turquoise and diamonds. Seen together, the pieces track his ability to combine wit, color and structure in ways that remain distinct decades later.
The exhibition unfolds across five themed rooms. One draws on Schlumberger’s time in Guadeloupe, another on his enduring fascination with flora. Each vignette sets up a narrative rather than a display case, giving the work context and allowing visitors to trace how travel, art and nature shaped his output. The staging is tight, built to feel like chapters of a book rather than a museum retrospective.
No Tiffany exhibition is complete without the house’s most famous stone. The 128.54 carat Tiffany Diamond is shown here in a Bird on a Rock inspired setting, a nod to Schlumberger’s signature design. The stone has rarely traveled outside New York, making its presence in Bangkok both symbolic and strategic. It underlines the scale of the house’s archive and the seriousness of this first Thai showing.
Legendary Legacy is on view through September 7. Public admission begins August 29 and is complimentary with advance reservations at exhibition.tiffany.com or through Tiffany Co Thailand’s official LINE. For anyone traveling through Bangkok, it is the rare chance to see the Tiffany Diamond and a concentrated edit of Schlumberger’s archive in one place.
