Tiffany & Co. Boards the “Gatsby” Train

For film buffs everywhere, you may have been aware of Baz Luhrmann’s recent installment – The Great Gatsby currently being executed with the help of Warner Bros. Pictures.

The film boasts quite an impressive list of heavyweights, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and Isla Fisher. Anyone familiar with Luhrmann’s work can attest to the fact that he doesn’t produce anything on a small scale.  And apparently his wife Catherine Martin, who is also assisting the acclaimed director in the production design department, shares his vision.  Martin has commissioned the world’s premier jeweler Tiffany & Co to bejewel the already striking cast with gems from their archives.

Taking a cue from the fact the characters in the story have an elite background and spent their time attending parties and schmoozing with the upper-crust at a time when lazy afternoons and all night feasting was all the rage, it was only natural that the famed jewelry company be asked to create one of a kind pieces to celebrate that memorable era.  

Sounds like a very glittery affair!
