The sighting: Cate Blanchett skipped this year’s Golden Globes to attend the UK Premiere of her new movie TÁR. She wore only one visible piece of jewelry, but she made it count.
The jewels: The actress is wearing a wonderfully dramatic pair of earrings from Louis Vuitton’s 2023 Spring RTW collection. Each earring is a long, wonderfully eclectic line of gemstones in different shapes, colors, and setting styles. They’re true shoulder dusters, hanging to about an inch below the actress’s neckline.
The trends: We’ve seen a lot of celebs on recent red carpets opting for earrings as their only visible piece of jewelry. It’s a trend that saddens me, because why even go to a red carpet if you aren’t bringing the sparkle?
That said, I’m okay with it when the earrings in question are THESE earrings. These babies are anything but subtle.
What do we think? It would have been easy to decide that this shiny mauve dress needed white diamonds, but the mixed colors and textures of these earrings create a much more interesting complement to the outfit. I’m transfixed by the variety of stones in these earrings…I scoured the internet trying to find more info and a closer view, but to no avail.
These earrings are a little bit out there – just a tad kooky, despite their glamour – but that’s exactly how I think of Cate Blanchett. They’re a great match.
Judgement: 14/10 for boldness over boredom.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson
When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy.
Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision."
The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
