    I totally agree with you, Karen. 

    As a person who holds a degree in architecture, worked as an
    architect for some years; Gehry's work has served as great
    inspiration for me since the university days. 

    He made tremendous contribution to architecture not only in terms of
    building form, but also in construction method, structural
    engineering, development of building material, technology in
    modelling [both digital & traditional]... even changed how we see the
    design process. 

    Nevertheless, I can't say the same about his 'collection' for
    Tiffany. The same shape might hold great potential for a museum, or
    just about any type of building. But they're just not that interesting
    as jewellery.... 

    Maybe he would do better after spending time to understand jewellery
    design & production techniques?? I certainly hope so...
