The sighting: Actor Ryan Gosling recently attended an LA premiere for the Barbie movie, in which he stars as Ken. Gosling donned a perfectly pink suit for the occasion and topped it off with a sentimental necklace.

The jewels: Ryan Gosling is wearing a chain with a letter “E” pendant in Barbie’s iconic pink-edged white script. The E is a reference to the actor’s longtime partner, Eva Mendes.

I was frustrated at first because I couldn’t find a jewelry credit for Gosling’s E necklace, but eventually I discovered that this is because it’s not made by a jewelry brand at all. The actor’s stylist, Mark Avery, revealed on Instagram that he had the pink-edged letter custom made by Hollywood 3D printing so that he could get the Barbie font and color exactly right.

I am seriously impressed by this level of attention to detail.

The trends: Is it too on the nose to point out that this fits the Barbiecore trend? I don’t think you can get more Barbiecore than a pink letter accenting a pink suit on the man who played Ken.

As for its potential to take off, one has only to look at Hollywood3dPrinting’s Instagram post of this piece to see a slew of comments with dozens of likes from people begging to order Barbie-style initial pendants of their own.

What do we think? This is just perfection. I came of age in The Notebook era, so Ryan Gosling already had a special place in my heart. But his performance as Ken and the utter magnificence of this all-pink outfit, topped with a tiny tribute to the lady who holds his heart could not possibly be more delightful than it already is.

Judgement: 27/10 for pink-edged perfection.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
