The sighting: I’m not sure how long Taylor Swift has had this sweet pendant, but Irene Neuwirth just shared it on their Instagram with the cheeky caption “Did you know Taylo Swift had one of our custom pet pendants? Well, now you do.”

The jewels: Taylor Swift is wearing a custom pet portrait pendant by Irene Neuwirth.

Irene Neuwirth’s website lists the One of a Kind Custom Pet Portrait in 18K yellow gold with a full cut diamond frame at $10,800, although the plain gold bezel-set version is a bit less expensive and the oval costs a bit more. Each one of these custom beauties features a carved crystal quartz with a hand-painted animal portrait intaglio. The chain is not included.

The trends: Everything Taylor Swift does has the potential to become a trend! And who doesn’t love to love their pets?

What do we think? This is just delightful. It bums me out when I see celebrities with lots of money not using any of their money to buy awesome jewelry, but this piece is the prefect antidote to that: it’s whimsical and sentimental and just wonderful.

This moment leaves me with only one question: cat-loving celebs who don’t have ones of these to honor their pets, what are you doing with your life?

Judgement: 20/10 for a gorgeous tribute to an adorable kitty cat.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
