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.

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.”
