The sighting: The legendary Jennifer Lopez, aka JLo, aka Jenny from the Block, has taken a new name and a new husband. Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck revealed her change in marital status on her website, OnTheJLo, and publicized the announcement with a gorgeous low-key selfie of herself in bed with a new wedding band on her finger.

The jewels: In her Instagram reveal, JLo is lounging in a cloud of pristine white bedding wearing no makeup, no clothes, and no jewelry except for her new wedding ring. The band is thick, perhaps slightly domed, made of lustrous white metal , and free of stones or other embellishment.

According to engagement ring specialists at UK retailer Steven Stone, the ring appears to be a simple but luxurious platinum band of approximately 6 mm, likely worth around $2,000. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Affleck have revealed any specific information about their new wedding rings, but they kept the details of JLo’s gorgeous green diamond engagement ring under wraps too, so I’m assuming we’ll probably never receive official confirmation of the wedding band’s specs.

Ben Affleck has proposed to his now-wife twice: first in 2002 with a magnificent Harry Winston pink diamond ring and again in 2022 with a staggeringly rare green diamond ring. JLo (or is she JAff now?) has been engaged six times and Steven Stone’s experts estimate her collection of engagement rings to be worth around $11.2 million.

What do we think? This wedding band is a surprisingly sleek piece for a superstar who has an established track record of loving sparkles and embellishment, but the understated yet luxurious ring feels somehow perfect for this later-in-life return to a former love, as does Jen and Ben’s low-key Vegas wedding.

For two such ultra-successful A-list celebs, choosing to keep things understated may actually be the ultimate in luxury and romance. While many celebrity weddings feel like a publicity circus, this one really just feels like two people in love who found their way back to each other after 19 years and decided to finally tie the knot.

Yes, I’m aware that I’m a hopeless romantic. But I think the evidence is there: why would glamour queen JLo choose a wedding band with no embellishment at all unless what she really cared about was the man she was marrying with it?

Judgement: 18/10 for sophisticated luxury and romance at its finest.

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.”
