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.

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.
