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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
