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.

Tiffany will open a 3,700-square-foot store with some of the architectural elements of its flagship boutique in New York. It will feature polished marble, a stone arch at the entrance and large glass show windows. The planned opening is Sept. 3. The jeweler is opening as the economy is starting to rebound even though consumers are still skittish about spending.
