The watch reinterprets the celebrated Sixteen Stone collection: it features a dial with a rotating ring set with 12 rubies and 12 diamonds, and is decorated with the signature cross-stitch pattern in 18-karat yellow gold. The case is crafted from 18-karat white gold and is set with a total of 421 diamonds, totaling 3.4 carats.<\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of rubies in the Sixteen Stone watch, Tiffany is echoing a tradition dating back to the 19th century, when the Maison&#8217;s designers embellished the watches now housed in the Tiffany Archives with these precious gems. These refined timepieces include lapel watches, pocket watches, and the first wristwatches, a testament to the Maison&#8217;s ongoing dialogue between fine jewelry and watchmaking.<\/p>\n<p>The design of the ring now known as the Sixteen Stone first appeared in Tiffany &amp; Co.&#8217;s Blue Book in 1959. The Sixteen Stone collection was born that same year from the creativity of legendary designer Jean Schlumberger. Its distinctive motif\u2014cross stitches in 18-karat yellow gold enclosing a row of diamonds\u2014is inspired by Schlumberger&#8217;s family roots, descendants of a prominent family of textile industrialists from Alsace, France. The Sixteen Stone collection represents the power of love that preserves and protects what is most precious, while the cross stitch symbolizes what is carefully preserved.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_143301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-143301\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sixteen-Stone-Ruby-watch-by-Tiffany@TiffanyCo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-143301\" src=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sixteen-Stone-Ruby-watch-by-Tiffany@TiffanyCo.jpg\" alt=\"Il Sixteen Stone Mother-of-Pearl Ruby \u00e8 un nuovo tributo della Maison all&#039;eredit\u00e0 creativa di Jean Schlumberger\" width=\"709\" height=\"988\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sixteen-Stone-Ruby-watch-by-Tiffany@TiffanyCo.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sixteen-Stone-Ruby-watch-by-Tiffany@TiffanyCo-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sixteen-Stone-Ruby-watch-by-Tiffany@TiffanyCo-480x669.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-143301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Sixteen Stone Mother-of-Pearl Ruby is a new tribute from the Maison to the creative legacy of Jean Schlumberger<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>The dial is composed of two elements: a fixed mother-of-pearl central disc and a rotating outer ring featuring the iconic cross-stitch pattern of the Sixteen Stone collection in 18-karat yellow gold, embellished with 12 brilliant-cut diamonds and 12 rubies. With every movement of the wrist, the ring rotates freely, creating a dynamic movement that recalls one of the most distinctive features of Jean Schlumberger&#8217;s creations.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of the rotating ring requires an extremely complex process and a total of 25 hours of work, including casting, assembling the gold motifs, and setting the diamonds and rubies. This achievement is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of Tiffany &amp; Co.&#8217;s goldsmiths and jewelry artisans. Casting the cross-stitch patterns in 18-karat gold requires a profound knowledge of materials and manufacturing techniques. The process begins with the creation of a dedicated mold for each element, whose dimensions must be precise to within a fraction of a millimeter. The molten gold is poured into the mold and left to cool. Once solidified, each element is extracted, carefully polished by hand, and then mounted on the rotating ring among the diamonds. The watch also showcases Tiffany &amp; Co.&#8217;s longstanding expertise in diamond setting with a case decorated with a refined snow-setting technique, housing 366 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 2.9 carats.<\/p>\n<p>The caseback, engraved with a sunburst motif inspired by Jean Schlumberger&#8217;s Floral Arrows brooch for Tiffany &amp; Co., is embellished with a constellation of diamonds. The red alligator strap fastens with an 18-karat white gold T-buckle, set with 43 brilliant-cut diamonds. Tiffany &amp; Co. will produce a limited number of the Sixteen Stone watch each year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Case Diameter: 36 mm<br \/>\n\u2022 Functions: Hours and minutes<br \/>\n\u2022 Materials: 18-karat white gold case and buckle<br \/>\n\u2022 Dial: Mother-of-pearl center disc; Rotating outer ring with 12 brilliant-cut diamonds, 12 rubies, and 12 X-patterns in 18-karat yellow gold<br \/>\n\u2022 Hands: 18-karat yellow gold<br \/>\n\u2022 Diamonds: 421 diamonds totaling 3.4 carats<br \/>\n\u2022 Snow-set case with 366 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 2.9 carats<br \/>\n\u2022 Rotating ring with 12 brilliant-cut diamonds and 12 rubies<br \/>\n\u2022 T-buckle with 43 brilliant-cut diamonds<br \/>\n\u2022 Case back with sunburst pattern embellished with diamonds<br \/>\n\u2022 High-precision Swiss quartz movement<br \/>\n\u2022 Strap: Red alligator<br \/>\n\u2022 Five-year international limited warranty<br \/>\n\u2022 Swiss Made<br \/>\n\u2022 SKU: 76537933<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A watch inspired by the legacy of historic designer Jean Schlumberger, featuring 366 diamonds.
