The sighting: Superstar Angelia Jolie attended Marvel Studios’ LA premiere of Eternals wearing a singularly striking piece of jewelry that formed a thick line of gold down the center of the actress’s chin.

The jewels: Jolie’s jewel is a lip cuff made by Austin-based designer Nina Berenato, who custom-fitted the piece to perfectly limn the lines of Jolie’s famous face. Paired with subtle earrings and an amorphous gown in a subtle hue, the 14K gold fill cuff makes Jolie look like the glamorous ruler of an alien planet who decided to drop by Earth for a change of scenery.

The trends: This kind of surrealist jewel will be too avant garde for many jewelry lovers, but there is absolutely an undercurrent of desire for this kind of unexpected, SciFi-esque style. A piece this daring will always be divisive, but take a peek at the designer’s social media and you’ll see thousands of likes and countless comments praising the otherworldly look. Priced online at just $50, this Nina Berenato lip cuff is a low investment way to try a high impact style.

Perhaps an eventual post-masking mass reveal of chins will lead to a previously unprecedented desire for face jewelry? Only time will tell.

Judgement: 12/10 for weird alien beauty, 7/10 for real life wearability (could it really be comfortable?)

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.”
