The sighting: Actress Michelle Williams attended the recent Gotham Awards in a black Schiaparelli gown with Belperron jewelry. Let’s take a look!

The jewels: Williams is wearing one necklace and one large cocktail ring. The necklace is Belperron’s Spiral Torque Necklace in virgin gold with South Sea cultured pearls. It’s an extremely sophisticated piece featuring a double row of creamy white pearls suspended from two swirls of gold.

The spiral motif is an iconic Belperron signature, one that the designer first experimented with in 1918.

I bet the ring is fantastic too, but you can’t get a clear look at it in any of the photos so we’ll just have to imagine.

The trends: Wearing fewer, bigger pieces of jewelry is absolutely a red carpet trend right now, and this Belperron necklace with single statement ring combo nails both the pearl trend and the quiet luxury trend perfectly.

What do we think? Normally I’d complain about Williams’ naked earlobes (honestly, I would add earrings if it were up to me) but the necklace is so good that I’ll allow it, just this once. Pairing this understated, impactful necklace with the actress’s ethereal pixie cut and sculptural, minimalist black gown is just perfection. This could not be more chic.

Judgement: 1,000/10 because Belperron on the red carpet makes me so so happy.

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.”
