Tiffany & Co. which just opened their new huge store on Wall Street, shown above, is now expanding in a smaller way. The purveyors of fine jewelry have a plan to open 70 stores that are 2,000 square feet. The stores, tentatively titled Tiffany & Co. Collections won't be where a man goes to big up the big sparkly I do maker. In fact, WWD reports that the stores will feature women's jewelry but no engagement or "statement" (translation: huge mega rocks) pieces. The stores are meant to attract today's women who can buy their own jewelry, thank you very much. Pieces will be priced from just under $100 to $15,000 and the first store is et to open next year.

I've been receiving the catalog for some time now. The pieces are tacky, IMO. Each of the boringly simple sterling pieces has "T & C C" (or something similar) stamped on it.

I think it's designed to appeal to the type who likes to wear clothes or carry accessories that have a designer's name sprayed all over it.
