DURING THE LOCKDOWN of the pandemic, Katie Holmes wrote a screenplay that she has since directed and starred in, entitled Alone Together.

Holmes trekked out on Friday, July 22, during the heatwave in NYC to do a Q&A about the film at the famed Angelika Film Center in Soho wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, a black jacket, sneakers and large earrings that look like they are crafted out jade circles, possibly another stone or enamel on top dangling from a diamond that sits on her ear.

At press time for this piece, I have not yet determined who designed the earrings, but I will update when we find out.

Together Alone opened in select theaters on the same day she answered questions about the film. It is set during the pandemic starting with lockdown, and Holmes’ character flees the city for an upstate Airbnb that her boyfriend has booked. He is supposed to join her but doesn’t, and the rental has been double-booked, with Jim Sturges in the role of the surprise guest staying at the house when Holmes’ character arrives. Then the film goes on to tell the story of the relationship that builds and what follows.

Now that we have a synopsis of the rom-com, let’s discuss Holmes’ earrings, which are part of a trend toward ultra-large statement earrings. We have seen them on the red carpet, at the Couture Show in Las Vegas at multiple jewelry designers, and on the couture runways. The current “bigger is better” trend in earrings manifests in square, circular and rectangular styles that range from inlayed looks to enamel and cut stones, as well as circular pieces like those that Holmes is wearing, which have a hybrid feeling of Art Deco styles and the ‘60s Mod hoops. Chandeliers are part of this trend as well, as are earrings that climb up the ear and then dip down into shoulder dusters, both which have made a comeback in recent months.

Holmes, who has a definitive chic nonchalant but elegant style, almost captures the feeling of typical attire during the pandemic lockdown: clothes that looked professional or “dressed” from the waist up and more casual from the waist down for Zoom calls. In any case, the style worked, and she looked radiant, even on one of the hottest days in NYC. I just keep wondering if the earrings were as heavy as they were bold? This is the question about large earrings that women who have a hankering to make more of a statement with their jewels these days need to ask themselves. You can go bigger, but when it comes to the ears, you want to make sure the designer of the jewels found a way to keep them light enough to wear without pain and without pulling at your lobes.

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.”
