I WILL NEVER FORGET the moment Angelina Jolie arrived on the red carpet during the 81st Academy Awards wearing a black dress and a vibrant pair of emerald earrings by Lorraine Schwartz. It was an iconic moment of color not seen on the red carpet since Hollywood in its heyday. After that magical moment in 2009, stars such as Julianne Moore, Jennifer Lopez and Zoe Kravitz donned emerald and other gemstone earrings. Here’s to a look back and a look forward at the styles in emerald earrings still going strong years after Jolie set an enchanting trend.

Wilkerson Takes the Worry Out of Closing

MSG Jewelers has always treated its customers like family. When owner Mike George decided to retire and close the doors of his St. Louis, Missouri jewelry store, he selected a company to manage his going-out-of-business sale that treats its customers like family, too. That’s why he chose Wilkerson. “Wilkerson was able to do all the things that we needed,” says George. In the end, the bittersweet store closing was so much easier with Wilkerson at the helm. From marketing to pricing to inventory, Wilkerson does it all. “It’s a package deal,” says George.
