Tiffany & Co. has launched its 2026 Lunar New Year collection, inspired by the Year of the Horse and reimagining Jean Schlumberger’s iconic Pegasus motif. Under the direction of Chief Artistic Officer Nathalie Verdeille, the line celebrates grace, strength, forward motion, and the spirit of new beginnings—perfect for the transition from January’s introspective couture energy into the vibrant year ahead.
The centerpiece is the Pegasus necklace, a delicate gold chain holding a stylized winged horse pendant crafted in 18k yellow or rose gold, accented with pavé diamonds for the wings and a single ruby or sapphire eye that catches light like a living flame. Matching earrings feature the same Pegasus silhouette in miniature, with dangling chains for subtle movement. Bracelets and rings complete the lineup, incorporating crossed wings and flowing manes in fluid, sculptural lines—Schlumberger’s signature whimsy updated for contemporary wear.
The collection draws from Schlumberger’s 1950s archives, where mythical creatures symbolized aspiration and freedom. For 2026, the Pegasus feels especially resonant amid a year of transitions—new creative directors settling in, sustainability narratives deepening, and consumers seeking meaningful symbols of progress. Tiffany positions it as jewelry that carries intention: wear the necklace for luck in new ventures, the earrings for everyday elegance, or the bracelet as a reminder of personal strength.
Pricing keeps it accessible within Tiffany’s fine jewelry tier: pendants start around $3,500, earrings at $4,200, and full sets reaching $12,000+. All pieces are handcrafted in New York workshops, emphasizing ethical sourcing and the house’s legacy of American craftsmanship. The launch coincides with Lunar New Year celebrations (starting late January/early February), making it timely for gifting or self-reward.
Early response has been strong—social media buzz from influencers and collectors, with first-day sell-outs in Asia-Pacific stores. Celeb sightings include subtle nods from global ambassadors wearing the Pegasus in campaign teasers, blending modern minimalism with mythical flair. It’s Tiffany doing what it does best: turning heritage into something fresh and emotionally charged.
This announcement caps January’s wave of meaningful drops—after Pandora’s Bridgerton romance and Skims’ Olympic athleticism, Tiffany adds a layer of timeless symbolism. In a month bookended by couture debuts and menswear resets, the Pegasus feels like a quiet exhale: elegant, aspirational, and ready for whatever 2026 brings.
