The jewelry company Tiffany just announced they’re launching their first full line of jewelry for men. They’ve sold some men’s stuff in the past, like cufflinks and money clips, but this full line has more than 100 items.

And it’s not just jewelry like rings and watches. It includes stuff like a silver compass, beer mugs, and dog tags.

The jewelry will range from about $200 to $15,000, but some of the fanciest items will sell for up to $75,000. It should hit Tiffany stores in October.

A RM Sotheby’s auction for a Porsche that was expected to sell for over $20 million dissolved into chaos after the Dutch auctioneer’s accent confused bidders.

The 1930’s car was expected to be the most expensive car with the Porsche name ever sold at auction.

The bidding went as high as $17 million, ended with the car remaining unsold when it didn’t meet the seller’s minimum price.
