Tantalum signet ring with yellow gold center and Pisces zodiac design, $995
MELISSA QUICK:
This ring is whimsical! I like playful yet serious jewelry. It’s a subtle nod to a zodiac sign that I could see being worn by someone who wasn’t a Pisces too. That’s a testament to a great design!
TANYA DUKES:
Zodiac jewelry is at the height of fashion right now, but the texture and the warm gray and gold combination feels unique and stands out in a crowded field.

97 Years of Family History, One Right Decision: How Malloves Jewelers Found the Right Partner to Close with Grace
Marc Levin’s grandfather Max founded Malloves Jewelers in Middletown, CT, in 1928. Nearly a century later, Marc — the third-generation owner — knew it was time to retire. He’d watched friends and fellow jewelers navigate store closings with Wilkerson’s help, and their recommendations were hard to ignore. Once he connected with the Wilkerson team, the decision was clear. “They made me feel like family,” he says. Wilkerson’s team handled every detail day by day, kept Marc informed every step of the way and delivered results that met and exceeded his financial goals. Watch Marc share the story of Malloves Jewelers’ final chapter — and why he slept soundly through all of it.
