Fall: A diamond necklace and earrings featuring a fern motif are placed on top of mouth-blown crystal orbs crafted by Lobmeyr. The orbs, inspired by water in its many mutable states, perfectly complement artist Susan Derges' piece in which she captures the movement of water on photographic paper by immersing it directly into rivers or shorelines.

Perennial: The final window features the U.S. National Park Service's magnificent scene of the honeybee's process year-round. Here, three diamond rings and a sterling silver jewelry box with 24k gold vermeil honeycomb designs are set against a vibration-enhanced spectrograph of a bee's waggling dance, which conveys direction to a food source.

Throughout, a sense of awe and wonder is communicated through the flora, fauna, geometry, minerals and gemstones.

'We're paying homage to Tiffany's longtime source of inspiration: nature,' said Richard Moore, Tiffany & Co.'s divisional vice president of global store design and creative visual merchandising. 'Tiffany is partnering with renowned national institutions in a unique fashion to present our high jewelry windows. We are able to use their knowledge of the natural world in dialogue with the collection to present it in an exciting new way.'

The Tiffany Blue Book Collection windows will be on display from September 28 to October 8, 2018.

About Azuma Makoto
Japanese floral artist Azuma Makoto came to art through his career as a florist, which evolved into what he dubs 'botanical sculpture,' installation, and performance. For Azuma, plants and flowers are the ideal medium not only to explore the transitory nature of beauty and decay, but also to create dramatic and surreal scenarios in nature. His lush, exotic arrangements have been suspended in air, frozen in ice, set on fire, and launched into space. Inspired by his work, AMKK is a group that develops aligned experimental creations.
