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.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
