The sighting: Singer Doja Cat recently attended the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show in Paris and her head-turning ensemble set the internet aflame.

The jewels: Doja Cat is wearing a large pair of Schiaparelli Haute Couture earrings that feature roughly cut red gems. Their color reminds me of enormous fire opals, but Schiaparelli’s most elaborate jewelry tends to be demi-fine, so I’m betting these are too.

For a closer look at the earrings, scroll to the second photo in the embedded Instagram post.

The singer is also covered in 30,000 Swarovski crystals, which were hand-applied to her skin over an intense five-hour session with makeup artist Pat McGrath’s team and designer Daniel Roseberry.

The trends: The look is definitely too extreme for the average consumer in its current form, but it represents several relevant trends: monochromatic dressing, tone-on-tone matching, crystal makeup, and statement earrings over necklaces for formal appearances.

Your customers probably aren’t going to spend 5 hours getting dolled up like this, but they might consider wearing red earrings with a red dress, choosing statement earrings for a special occasion, or splurging on some fancy crystal eye makeup appliques.

What do we think? Does Doja Cat look like the world’s fanciest tomato, or perhaps an alien lifeform whose grandfather was a strawberry? Yes. But she’s also…making it work?

I know it’s wild, but hear me out: it’s not like she wore this to the grocery store! She was attending and appearing in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture show in Paris. If there’s a more appropriate moment to go majorly avant garde, I can’t imagine what it would be.

Hilarious side note: Doja Cat faced a lot of criticism from TikTok influencers for not wearing dramatic false eyelashes with this look, so the singer clapped back by covering her face in extra fake eyelashes for her next appearance.

Judgement: 16/10 for fully embracing haute couture weirdness at the right place and time.

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.”
