IF THERE WAS ever a time to bring the goth girl back, it’s now with the hype around the film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, in which multi-award winning costume designer Coleen Atwood brought a mix of the bohemian gothic look and punk for a fresh modern take on an ’80s fashion and jewelry trend.

Camila Cabello went full-on goth at the 2024 MTV Music Awards, which summoned up a cross between Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan, the original Morticia from the Addams Family and a Sicilian widow (due to the sheer lace black veil). She wore a black, delicate lace gown with various styles of openwork on the bodice and the sleeves, as well as multiple crosses featuring what looked like white diamonds on a blackened cross and black diamonds on a black beaded necklace. The pieces were designed by Loree Rodkin, who has bejeweled many a rock icon and was one of the hot jewelers of the 1980s and 90s, and who continues to lend and sell to celebrity talents.

While it definitely stood out among the diamond divas at the awards, my question — even with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice — is will it attract a new generation of customers?

I think crosses in a range of shapes and sizes in diamonds and more colorful gemstones will, but the whole look, while it worked for Cabello, is a bit over the top for the contemporary jewelry enthusiast.

What’s your take on the look?

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
