The sighting: K-Pop superstars BTS turn heads wherever they go, but the group made an extra impact on the Grammy’s red carpet thanks to some well-placed sparkle.

The jewels: The BTS boys’ monochromatic suits are from Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2022 Menswear Collection, which did include the brooches when the looks were shown on the runway. I haven’t been able to find any outside jewelry credits for the runway looks, so I’m assuming the brooches are LV as well.

Each piece is designed as an asymmetrical spill of stones, worn so that the line of the piece is oriented diagonally. The placement and alignment are interesting, since brooches on suit jackets often feature vertical or horizontal lines that echo the line of a lapel or pocket. These brooches occupy much less traditional locations, across the middle of each double-breasted jacket.

The trends: With a prodigious fanbase who calls themselves the “BTS Army,” I think it’s pretty safe to say that any look these lads wear has the potential to start a trend. We have seen a very satisfying number of men rocking jewelry on red carpets lately, including on suit jackets, but this is the first time I’ve noticed any of the bejeweled gentlemen choosing to match with their friends.

What do we think? I admit that it’s possible these are actually elaborate buttons or strategically placed embellishments on the suits, but I’m going to continue to assume they’re truly brooches because that makes me happy. In fact, I think all groups of men should wear matching brooches in public from now on. Let it be so.

Judgement: 1,000 out of 10 for this boy band brooch brigade!!

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
