It’s no secret that Maria Sharapova is a tennis champ who loves fashion. Aside from bringing her style onto the court, the lithe 6-foot-2 athlete is a face for Cole Haan and most recently a muse to architect Frank Gehry, who has designed earrings for Tiffany & Co. that Sharapova will wear throughout the U.S. Open, starting Monday.

The sterling silver and diamond “Stria” earrings have a vertical, fluid shape to them, like a river -- or a propelling tennis ball. If you’re a tennis, architecture or jewelry fan -- or perhaps all three -- then you’re in luck. The earrings inspired by Sharapova are being sold at select Tiffany boutiques and at www.tiffany.com for $850.
