The sighting: Singer and actress Selena Gomez loves this pair of earrings so much, she has posted several recent Instagram story selfies of herself wearing them.

The jewels: Gomez is wearing the Melinda Maria Oh She Fancy Smooth and Diamond hoops. The earrings present an optical illusion, appearing to be a stack of three sets of hoop earrings (two smooth hoops and one pavé hoop), when it’s actually three hoops all connected to the same single stud.

Despite the name, the style is demi-fine, featuring 18K gold-plated brass and CZ. The hoops are listed on the brand’s website for $68.

The trends: These hoops are extremely on-trend. They’re a compelling mix of subtle and opulent, with their triple hoop trompe l’oeil and combination of smooth metal and pavé. The size and simplicity are giving Quiet Luxury but the actual materials mean these clever beauties are accessible to all.

What do we think? This triple hoop stud is chic, unfussy, and affordable. Throw it on with anything and you have an instant outfit. What’s not to love?
I honestly might buy a pair of these. They’re so fun and easy and you cannot beat this $68 bang for your buck. I happen to own a few Melinda Maria pieces already, so I’m confident that these earrings are similarly high quality demi-fine.

Judgement: 15/10 for a super cute affordable earring moment.

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.”
