The sighting: The Princess of Wales recently attended a London event to celebrate the launch of a new charitable campaign. She wore a chic red suit for the occasion and accessorized it with a pair of statement earrings.

The jewels: Adorning the royal earlobes for this event are the Florence earrings by CHALK, a woman-owned independent jewelry brand based in London.

CHALK’s Florence earrings are made from walnut wood and acrylic with gold-filled ear wires and are part of the designer’s collaboration with the Royal Opera House, which features designs inspired by the regal building’s architecture. The Florence style retails on the designer’s website for £75.

The earrings are a personal collection piece that the royal first debuted in 2022, according to the Kate Middleton Style Blog.

The trends: We’ve seen a lot of high-profile celebs opting for statement earrings as their only red carpet jewel lately. The shift from multi-earring ear parties to fewer, bigger earrings is truly underway.

What do we think? I love this, both in general and for the Princess of Wales specifically. Her jewelry usually isn’t very imaginative, but it always meshes well with her own personal style. These earrings are daring shape for her, but their neutral color palette helps them retain the classic subtlety that always pervades this royal’s wardrobe.

On a personal note, I’ve been a fan of this edgy little brand for years and it thrills me to see CHALK getting this kind of exposure.

Judgement: 16/10 for gorgeous indie earrings worn in front of the world.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
