Elsa Perretti, Iconic Jewelry Designer and Top Model, has Died<\/strong>
\nItalian-born Elsa Peretti, a revolutionary jewelry maker and top model of the 1960s and 1970s, has died in Spain at the age of 80. Peretti was a collaborator with Halston in the 1970s, and it was through him that she met the executives at Tiffany & Co., where her modern take on cuffs, necklaces, and earrings took the market by storm, and at one time accounted for as much as 10% of Tiffany\u2019s jewelry sales.
