A restored old-villa compound in Shanghai's old city hosted Tiffany's 2026 Blue Book high jewellery launch and dinner.




Luxiang Garden is a restored heritage quarter in Shanghai's old city, in Huangpu district near Yuyuan. Its lanes hold rebuilt lane houses and old villas set behind walls and small courtyard gardens, and the area now reads as largely residential, with a museum and commercial frontages at its edges. The villa used here keeps domestic-scale rooms, corridors and garden outlooks rather than open gallery floors.
For the launch the villa was dressed as a temporary greenhouse in sage grey-green, with shallow gold trellises, woven baskets and cornflower sketches. Eight vitrines ran through the main rooms in a fixed order: Schlumberger archive pieces first, including the 1965 Bird on a Rock brooch, then spring, summer and autumn new works. A dedicated watch space was added, and dinner followed in the same house.
High jewellery is shown at close range, and a villa gives short sightlines, domestic rooms and a garden to walk through rather than a hangar. A botanical theme reads more clearly against real planting, and the residential character separates the viewing from retail floors, which suits invited, appointment-led presentations and dinners.
