THE 2024 ACADEMY AWARD nominated best supporting actress for Barbie wore a special Pomellato necklace with her sparkly Atelier Versace gown in pink that wasn’t the traditional bubble gum color associated with the film. Instead, it was chic and the perfect backdrop for the jewels, which included the Pomellato Castello necklace that combined inspirations from a 1972 archival choker, Pomellato’s design tradition and the city’s most commanding monument. According to a press statement put out by the company, “The design team re-interpreted the original choker to create the Castello necklace with a neo-mediaeval look. The unconventional setting of the gems creates sharp angles reminiscent of the rusticated stone masonry of the façade of the Castello, resulting in a new type of pavé that Pomellato has named ‘bossage.'”

The necklace features 18K rose gold plaques joined together by chunky diamond-set links and is adorned with more than 28 carats of baguette, princess and brilliant-cut diamonds. Its five reverse-set rubellites have a total carat weight of over 29 carats.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
