The sighting: Jewelry designer Brooke Gregson posted a snap of one of her happy customers on Instagram the other day – and this particular customer just happened to be actress Allison Janney.

The jewels: Allison Janney is wearing a pinky ring with a large, rectangular opal set in a thick gold band and a gold bracelet with rainbow gemstone beads. The designer’s website currently lists a similar 18K gold and gemstone bracelet for $1,870.

Brooke Gregson’s Instagram caption says that she knows Janney will “give these two one-of-a-kind pieces an amazing life!” so we know that the actress is adding these two pieces to her personal collection, rather than just borrowing them.

Janney even commented on the post to express her enthusiasm, calling the opal her new “power ring” and saying “You are beyond talented, Brooke! So happy to get to wear both these pieces.”

The trends: That gorgeous opal pinky ring is giving major Mermaidcore, which is one of the summer’s biggest trends. Pinky rings are enjoying a moment too, as are chunky gemstone beads in bright colors. The entire purchase is fun, vibrant, and of-the-moment.

What do we think? I love everything I’m seeing here. The opal ring is fantastic, the beaded bracelet is delightful. I’d happily wear either of them.

There’s nothing better than a celebrity who uses their position to promote the work of artists they genuinely admire. It brings me joy to see, and fact that this is an actress I admire who also just happened to graduate from the same tiny liberal arts college as I did is just icing on the cake.

Judgement: 16/10 for great jewels and a delightful celeb/jeweler moment.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
