Tiffany to close Iridesse jewelry retail chain

Orchid Colleagues,

WSJ March 11, 2009

Tiffany & Co. is planning to shutter its underperforming Iridesse
pearl jewelry retail chain.

Tiffany launched the 16-store chain in 2004 with a big advertising
campaign and lured top designers to create special collections. But
the deepening recession “ultimately proved too stressful for this
young business,”

Thought this should be shared as many of Orchid colleagues work in
pearls.
