Bruno Mars is teasing some sort of collaboration with Tiffany & Co. He posted a photo of himself wearing a gold chain and captioned it, “so this your new man? where’d you meet him, at an all girls school? – a short story by Bruno Mars.” He added #tiffanyholiday and linked to the jewelry brand’s Instagram, but so far there are no other details.
