Frank Gehry to Create Jewelry Collection for Tiffany Co
Tiffany & Co. announced a new partnership with internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry, who will create an exclusive jewelry collection in collaboration with Tiffany to be introduced in April 2006.

With this historic agreement, Gehry becomes the jeweler's newest designer to bring a bold and original dynamic to the worlds of fashion and design.

The Gehry Collection will debut with six distinct jewelry collections.

In addition, the launch will include a selection of tabletop items.

In the hands of this master builder, precious metals, stones and wood are interpreted in provocative new shapes highlighted with brilliant color, patina and rich grain.

In all, the collection promises an exhilarating and beautiful new experience that reflects one man's imagination and lifelong obsession.

"Our association with Frank Gehry represents another milestone in Tiffany's heritage as a leader in the world of jewelry design," said Michael J. Kowalski, the company's chairman and CEO.

"His revolutionary aesthetic has literally redefined architecture, and we fully anticipate that our partnership, combining as it does Mr. Gehry's genius with Tiffany's tradition of innovation and utmost quality, will change the rules of jewelry and fashion to equal and spectacular effect."
