Frank Gehry – Former Famed Architect Designs Jewelry for Tiffany & Co

Tiffany & Co. announced a new partnership with internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry, who firstly released an exclusive jewelry collection in collaboration with Tiffany and Co introduced in April 2006. "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.

Frank Gehry who is a creative child born into a Polish-Jewish family in Toronto, Ontario, has now been a Pritzker Prize-winning architect based in Los Angeles. Then he began his cooperation with the world renowned Tiffany jewelry company, which leads to the enhancement of both Tiffany & Co and himself. Mr. Gehry said that jewelry is an art form, in conceptualizing designs for Tiffany, he worked as he always do, sketching and creating models. Sculptors and painters have inspired him with their ability to make things with their own hands. This process led to the discovery of new ways to give feeling and spirit to form, and realize their shared vision of jewelry that provides a beautiful context for living now

In the hands of Frank Gehry, precious metals like the popular sterling silver, stones and wood are interpreted in provocative new shapes highlighted with brilliant color, patina and rich grain, and his first collection promises an exhilarating and beautiful new experience that reflects one man's imagination and lifelong obsession.
