Jeweler offers plated pieces inspired by musical series.

Even if they’re not quite as wealthy as the show’s decadent characters, fans of “Empire” can now choose from among 15 pieces in a jewelry collection inspired by Fox’s hit musical series, a Hollywood Reporter article says. Produced by Los Angeles-based jeweler King Ice, pieces in the collection feature 14K gold plating and handset cubic zirconia, and retail for $40 to $90. They include a Nefertiti pendant and an “Empire” ring.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
