CaNNES MIGHT HAVE been The Emerald City during the 2023 Film Festival, considering the amount of the vibrant green gems being worn by A-listers during the 12-day event. Emeralds have been trending for some time (since color seems to be here to stay), and it’s a gemstone that looks good on, well, everyone. It is also the stone of renewal, prosperity and hope, and this optimism and symbolism of the stone paves a way to a brighter future.

But let’s get back to the jewels. The emeralds ranged from antique-inspired to ultramodern in their interpretations. Let’s start with Julia Garner, who accented her vivid green Gucci gown with Gucci High Jewelry of emerald and diamond drop earrings and a large emerald with diamond accents ring. And let’s not forget that during the MET Gala, Garner also wore Belperron bracelets with emeralds stacked on one wrist.

Another A-lister wore edgier jewels than she has in years: Cate Blanchett wore Louis Vuitton High Jewelry ear climbers with emeralds and diamonds with one of her outfits at Cannes.

And although many of these celebrities are ambassadors for the brands they wear, it doesn’t make it any less stunning or any less of a trend when you see multiple actresses and models wearing the same gem.

Two other jaw-dropping earrings were Fan Bingbing’s ultra-long emerald pear-shaped and diamond earrings, and Soo Joo Park in Chopard geometric emerald earrings.

Are you green with envy yet? I know it’s got me hankering for a new emerald pair of earrings of my own, or maybe a ring like the one Garner wore.

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.”
