Celebrity Jeweler Neil Lane Picks His Favorite Diamond Moments from the Oscars

People magazine recently spoke with celebrity jeweler Neil Lane, who shared some of his favorite diamond displays from the past few Oscars. Among them is Angelina Jolie’s sultry black gown from 2012, of which the article provides some background on how Lane completed the look: “Since Lane knew the major statement making piece was going to be that thigh-high slit, he chose to keep the rest of the actress’s look simple with a pair of 10 carat drop earrings, adding on the surprising detail of two 100 carat diamond brooches that cinched the waist of the gown and went almost completely unnoticed in the shadow of Jolie’s infinitely meme-able leg.”

Three women named Jennifer also made Lane’s cut.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
