DUA LIPA CONTINUES to go from subtle to all-out statement-making, and at the Barbie premiere in London in July it was the latter. She was in head-to-toe Versace from the La Vacanza collection, which she co-designed with creative director Donatella Versace and debuted at the Cannes Film Festival.

Although the total look was an explosion of pop color and sparkle, let’s concentrate on the jewelry, which has a nostalgic, over-the-top ’90s flair.

Butterflies (a trend in fine jewelry at present) were freely flitting about as rings on her fingers and ears and on the Versace Medusa Medallion necklace-choker that had multiple motifs. She also wore a Crystal Butterfly Cuff to complete the look.

Lipa’s style drew from runway trends that suggested “go big or go home.”

But the one thing I would really like to know is, Can I have these Versace pieces as jewelry for the new Barbie — or perhaps for myself?

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
