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.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
