The agreement also allowed Tiffany co jewelery to gain entry into the Caribbean market for the development of two boutiques in Little Switzerland stores Andrews; In 2002 Tiffany jewellery brought its Little Switzerland holdings to about 98 percent.Tiffany jewellery discontinued sales to U.S. retailers in 2000 in an effort to gain greater control of its brand. However, in 2003 Tiffany jewellery got a new stake in Temple St. Clair for $13 million to diversify its retail operations. That September and November, Temple St. Clair opened two upscale, stand-alone tiffany jewellery boutiques in Costa Mesa, California, and Short Hills, New Jersey. Diverging from Tiffany co jewelery classic style, Temple St. Clairs pieces retail from $500 to $35,000 and incorporate more yellow gold and semiprecious stones.
