The sighting: Actress Julia Roberts chose a pale pink blazer outfit for the London premiere of her movie, Leave the World Behind. She accessorized the business-inspired ensemble with a major Chopard necklace and very sparkly shoes.

The jewels: Roberts is wearing a stunning statement necklace by Chopard. I haven’t been able to track down many specifics on this beauty, but what’s not to love about a many-layered diamond bib necklace? It’s a classic style for a reason.

The actress also appears to be wearing two diamond rings and a pair of diamond studs that are difficult to see in the photos, but she is a Chopard ambassador, so I think there’s a good chance it’s all Chopard.

The trends: We haven’t seen enough statement necklaces on red carpets lately, in my opinion. I’d love to see more!

I would argue that the mixing of styles here is a trend: the business-inspired pale pink blazer with the megawatt, ultra-glamorous diamonds and silly fringed party girl shoes. This kind of contradictory juxtaposition of styles is just the kind of thing that anti-conformist Gen Z loves.

What do we think? I honestly had a hard time finding any info on this necklace because every article I could find on this look is about those shoes. And I understand why: their proportions are frankly distracting. I want to love them! They’re sparkly and the movement is such a fun idea…but I just think they look like oversized house slippers made of tinsel, or very sparkly silver sheep stuck to Julia Roberts’ feet.

We’re not here to talk about shoes, though – let’s talk about that necklace! It’s simple perfection, IMHO. It’s a fantastic use of the collarbone real estate that the blazer reveals, and its straightforward glamour is a really fun contrast to the understated business casual roots of the ensemble.

Judgement: 14/10 for a perfectly glam necklace moment.

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.”
