It is an event that attracts all eyes for Parisians and fashionistas passing through during Paris Fashion Week. Since this Sunday, October 1, the Opéra Garnier has swapped its carvern signed JR with a new trompe-l'oeil facade. This time, it's the iconic Sixteen Stone ring from Tiffany & Co. — a creation signed by the brand's legendary designer, Jean Schlumberger — which is taking up residence in the heart of the capital. A precursor of collaborations between the world of art and that of jewellery, Tiffany & Co. has always surrounded itself with the talent of the greatest: Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Daniel Arsham... Today, the house is taking over the Opéra Garnier to bring together the work of two great creators: Jean Schlumberger and Paul Rousteau. Because Tiffany has two loves: artists and Paris!

The Opéra Garnier symbolizes a return to roots for the House of Tiffany. More than a century ago, in 1910, on Place de l'Opéra, Tiffany & Co. opened its first Parisian flagship store.

Today, the facades of the Opéra Garnier are coming back to life. Tiffany & Co. showcases its iconic Sixteen Stone ring, with a new work created by Paul Rousteau , continuing the story that began a few months earlier at the Louvre. "When Tiffany suggested that I showcase the Sixteen Stones ring on the facade of the Opéra Garnier, I immediately thought of movement, of dance... The facade of the Opera, proud, rich and imposing begins to dance, free and light, around a sacred ring. This ring, with the help of its magical powers, attracts the most beautiful Parisian monument" , reveals the artist.
