THE CORONATION of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in Edinburgh, Scotland, on July 5 brought out royal blue and pearls when Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, chose a vibrant blue suit, hat and a necklace of pearls and diamonds from Queen Elizabeth II’s personal collection.

The look reminded me of outfits and jewels worn by Kate’s mother in law, Princess Diana, who often accessorized with sapphires and pearls, noted to be her favorites.

Always chic, the new princess has become a style icon, and her outfits and jewels are often reported on. This case was no exception. The pearls she wore were gifted to Queen Elizabeth in 1975 during her state visit to Japan. Upon returning to the UK, court jeweler Garrard created a three-strand necklace with a centerpiece of marquise shaped diamonds for the queen.

The princess wore these pearls with her usual (seemingly effortless) elegance, and they suited her and the occasion perfectly.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
