The sighting: Country music icon Shania Twain recently walked the Country Music Awards red carpet in an ensemble the signer described as “extremely bold but effortless.” The highlight of the look was a very special pair of custom earrings.

The jewels: The showstopper here is Shania Twain’s diamond treble cleft earrings: a custom design that the singer created in collaboration with jewelry designer Guy Lemieux.

Twain told Instyle that she and Lemieux worked together to make sure the earrings would fall in exactly the right place on her neck.

The singer further accessorized her look with a Kallati bracelet and rings by Stefere, Le Vian, Candy Ice, and Guy Lemieux.

The trends: Statement earrings are a very popular form of red carpet jewelry at the moment! It’s a fun trend and I’m enjoying the results, especially on celebs like Twain, who aren’t afraid to accentuate their statement earrings with additional jewels.

What do we think? Is it a little on-the-nose to wear music-themed earrings to a music-themed event? Perhaps even a little tacky? Maybe…but when that event is the Country Music Awards and you are the legendary Shania Twain, this glamorously camp design feels perfectly on-pitch.

I also love that Twain paired these earrings with a very sparkly selection of rings – it kept the ensemble’s bling from getting lost when the earrings were covered by her hair.

Judgement: 14/10 for earrings that hit the perfect note for the occasion.

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.”
