The sighting: Actress Jamie Lee Curtis recently attended the Golden Globes in a dramatic black gown with a lace cape and diamond jewels.

The jewels: Jamie Lee Curtis is wearing Cathy Waterman Swirl Earrings, a pair of matched Cathy Waterman Reverso Cuffs, and her own personal Cathy Waterman Love Ring. While not an intentionally matched set, the designs are all elegant openwork designs with diamonds in platinum.

The trends: The major trends of the night are all in evidence here: choosing bracelets over necklaces, sticking to all white diamonds, and going with understated jewelry.

What do we think? At first glance, I thought these earrings were too subtle and that the choice to forego colored gems with this neutral outfit was a missed opportunity.

The longer I considered, the more I started to love this look. The openwork cuffs and the lace cape complement other to create an ethereal universe of delicate, shifting patterns; an effect that feels like an homage to the complicated interwoven realities of Everything Everywhere All at Once, Curtis’ nominated movie.

I also love what this jewelry choice represents. Celebrities nominated for awards often accept paid jewelry placements from the same few major brands, but Curtis chose Cathy Waterman instead: a designer the actress refers to as a friend on social media, whose pieces she owns and frequently wears.

I still wish the earrings were juuuust a little bit less subtle, but this is a beautiful and on-theme look from an actress who’s on a hot streak but still chose to stay true to her own sense of style and represent a friend on the red carpet.

Judgement: 13/10 for subtle brilliance with fantastic meaning behind it

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.”
