Paloma Picasso (born Anne Paloma Ruiz-Picasso y Gilot in Vallauris on 19 April 1949), is a French and Spanish fashion ans jewelery designer and businesswoman, best known for her jewelry designs for Tiffany & Co. and her signature perfumes. She is the youngest daughter of 20th-century artist Pablo Picasso and painter and writer Francoise Gilot. Paloma Picasso's older brother is Claude Picasso (b. 1947), her half-brother is Paulo Picasso (1921-1975), her half-sister is Maya (b. 1935), and she has another half-sister, Aurelia (b. 1956), from her mother's relationship with artist Luc Simon. After she graduated from school, her mother let her move alone to Venice, under the not terribly strict eye of her friend the eccentric collector Peggy Guggenheim. Paloma’s first husband was playwright Rafael Lopez-Cambil, with whom she lived a jet-set Warhol-era life (they once planned to make a film about Coco Chanel; she also dabbled in acting). Paloma Picasso's jewelry career began as a teenager in 1968, when she was a costume designer in Paris. Picasso presented her first efforts to her friend, famed couturier Yves Saint Laurent, who immediately commissioned her to design accessories to accompany one of his collections. By 1971, she was working for the Greek jewelry company Zolotas.
In 1980 Picasso began designing jewelry for Tiffany & Co. of New York In 1984 she began experimenting with fragrance, creating the "Paloma" perfume for L'Oréal.
Two American museums have acquired Ms. Picasso's work for their permanent collections. Housed in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History is a 396.30-carat kunzite necklace designed by her. And visitors to The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago can view her 408.63-carat moonstone bracelet accented with diamond "lightning bolts." Paloma Picasso and her husband live in Lausanne, Switzerland and in Marrakech, Morocco. less
