TIFFANY & CO CREATING DIAMOND JEWELRY FOR “GREAT GATSBY” FILM

Tiffany & Co has announced plans to partner with the Warner Bros. Pictures and Bazmark film production companies to create the diamond jewelry for a new version of The Great Gatsby, based on the 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The latest film version of Gatsby is being directed by Baz Luhrmann and stars Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, along with Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire.

Tiffany’s jewelers are working with costume and production designer Catherine Martin on pieces that evoke the spirit of the 20s. The collection includes diamonds and pearls set in platinum.

Jon King, executive vice president of Tiffany & Co, explained that the company’s archives served as inspiration, but that the jewelry in the film was custom designed rather than recreated.
