BUTTERFLY JEWELS ARE back in a variety of interpretations and are showing up on numerous celebrities. We saw them in 2018-2019 on Meghan Markle before the Sussexes gave up their royal titles. But recently, I noticed a photo of her in her butterfly earrings on one of her Instagram accounts, and it brought me back to when she wore the earrings on her first royal tour in Australia and announced she was pregnant for the first time. The diamond and gold studs originally belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. She has worn them on several occasions since then but was ahead of the trend that was about to land on the jewelry community. In the recent events of 2022, Mariah Carey wore a large diamond butterfly ring when she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (which I wrote about in the most recent issue of INSTORE). Olivia Rodrigo wore a De Beers Portrait of Nature high jewelry butterfly ring to the Met Ball and also wore butterflies in her hair. A diamond Chopard butterfly also fluttered on Julia Roberts’ blazer at the premiere of the limited series Gaslit, in which she starred as Margaret Mitchell.

Butterflies have flitted in and out of style every decade or so, it seems. However, in a time when change is essential and our challenges continue to grow, the butterfly is an apropos motif to signify the transformations, renewal and the hope we need globally and in our personal lives.

If you want to add a butterfly or two to your own jewelry rotation, please check out Brooke Gregson, James Banks, Silvia Furmanovich and FoundRae, to name just a few of the jewels that are rendered in gemstones, diamonds, gold and a range of other unique materials.

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.”
