NEW YORK -- While gold and diamond prices have softened, the commodity surge is a big reason Tiffany & Co.'s shares are down 25 percent since topping out at an intraday high of $43.80 on Nov. 28. The stock of the New York seller of expensive jewelry, watches and dishware has generally moved in the opposite direction of commodity prices. Gold hit a 26-year high of $721.50 an ounce May 11; even though it has pulled back, Tiffany's stock price hasn't seen an immediate benefit. Higher commodity prices lower Tiffany's gross margins, a measure of how efficiently a manufacturer can turn raw materials into income.

Our country's problems are complicated, but Newt Gingrich's Tiffany faux pas isn't. It's simple. It has to do with a leader having a sense of empathy, balance and propriety. The Gingriches and their million-dollar interest-free account at Tiffany's (they spent at least $750,000 on jewelry according to Slate) remind one of pre-revolutionary French nobility living frivolous, decadent lifestyles while their country faced financial crises and the peasants starved. It was amazing to hear Gingrich retort that he and his wife live "very frugal" lives.

The disastrous start to Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign is serving up plenty of fodder for late night comedians.  After flip-flopping on Paul Ryan's budget proposal (and then claiming anyone who quoted him directly was spreading falsehoods, which was roundly mocked on Comedy Central), and then having his press aide send out a statement depicting him in an epic, machine-gun battle with sheep (which was also roundly mocked), Gingrich is now under fire for apparently running up a high jewelry bill at Tiffany's (reportedly as much as $250,000 to $500,000)

Tiffany & Co., the jewelry store with the signature blue box and highly sought-after gifts, opened its 80th store Friday morning in Towson Town Center's luxury wing. The 3,700-square-foot store will primarily focus on jewelry, but will also carry the company's line of sunglasses, according to George Getschel, director of Tiffany at Towson Town Center. Inventory ranges from charms and silver bracelets for less than $100 to engagement rings and diamonds exceeding $100,000. Customers will also be able to order items from other stores, according to Getschel, a trained gemologist whose great-grandfather started the Albert Smyth Co. The store features many of the same architectural details found in the company's flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York, which was founded in 1837.

George Getschel's wife may be one of the luckiest women on the planet. As a trained gemologist who grew up in the jewelry business, he understands diamonds and exactly why they're a girl's best friend. And he has given his wife quite a few, he says. Getschel, 33, should know his gems. His great-grandfather started the Albert Smyth Co. — one of the area's most popular jewelry retailers. He left the family business a few years — he calls the move "a natural progression" in his career — to attend graduate school and then work for Tiffany & Co. His latest venture is director of the new Tiffany store slated to open at the Towson Town Center in the mall's luxury wing on Sept.

Anne Arundel County police say that on Tuesday, Arthur Tyler Felton used a box cutter to steal a cell phone and an MP3 player from a Sears in the Annapolis Mall, then briefly carjacked a woman in the parking lot in a failed bid to escape. This is the same Arthur Tyler Felton who in 1991 fatally shot 6-year-old Tiffany Smith in the head during a gunfight with a rival in West Baltimore's Walbrook neighborhood. The shooting of the elementary school student shocked a city, sparked a campaign to rebuild streets lined with vacant rowhouses, focused police attention on gangs, guns and drugs, and prompted residents to create a memorial in the girl's honor.

Tiffani Currin loves fashion but has to watch how much she expresses herself in one job, that as an M&T bank teller. But the day we "glimpsed" the 25-year-old Northwest Baltimore resident, she was on her lunch break from her second job as a nail technician at Spa Sante in Harbor East. That meant a much more expressive look in her "chic, fitted" style. Currin wore a pastel floral cotton blazer from Forever 21 over a ribbed cotton tank from Nordstrom. Her dark-wash bootcut jeans came from Ann Taylor Loft, and her bronze metallic wedge Rouge sandals were Macy's finds.
