Gehry’s Small Structures

Crafted out of materials like black gold, pernambuco wood and cacholong stone, iconic architect Frank Gehry’s first-ever jewelry collection for Tiffany draws on his childhood memories as well as structural elements from his renowned buildings. The Torque cuffs, below, are modeled on his signature curved and twisted lines. Gehry says that for him jewelry was not a big leap of imagination: “The impulse is always the same—to discover new forms that have a natural flow and a relevance to contemporary life.”
