Designer Karen Walker says hands reflect ‘a life well-lived.’

Older women — and their hands — are the stars of New Zealand jewelry designer Karen Walker’s latest campaign, the Observer reports. Phyllis Sues, 93, and Roberta Haze, 78, both former dancers modeled Walker’s rings in photographs (shown) taken by Ari Seth Cohen. “Hands can be every bit as expressive as faces, can speak of a life well-lived,” Walker told the website. Pieces in the new collection include the brand’s signature arrow ring and a mood ring that, instead of changing color, reads “love” or “hate.”

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.”
