Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Debut Custom Beaded Name Necklaces: Judge the Jewels

The sighting: Reality star Kourtney Kardashian and her boyfriend, Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, debuted custom Jewelry by Veronique name necklaces in a pair of moody black-and-white Instagram Story selfies.

The jewels: KK’s necklace is romantic, with freshwater pearls and silver hearts, while Barker’s goes for rocker glam with dark faceted beads, a cross, and a skull. The chunky beaded style is whimsical kindergarten chic, a nostalgic and playful look reminiscent of summer camp DIYs. Kardashian has referred to Jewelry by Veronique’s founder, Veronique Vicari Barnes, as a “high school bestie,” so these beads aren’t just a purchase, they are a love token made by a friend.

The trends: This high end crafty-chic look is a trend that’s been around for a few years and it’s still very popular in certain demographics. The trick with a piece like this is convincing the end consumer that something made from inexpensive materials makes sense as a high value purchase.

What do we think? It is somewhat baffling to see a Kardashian rocking jewelry that looks like it could be recreated by an elementary schooler with a craft kit, but the necklaces really are cute – and maybe when you’re so wealthy that you have the resources to buy almost anything, choosing a low-key look that doesn’t scream “I’m expensive!” is truly the ultimate in opulence.

Judgement: 7/10 for style, 3/10 for actual luxury

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.”
