NICOLE KIDMAN HAS been on trend, or sometimes setting trends, since the late 1990s. INSTORE and other publications have included her in too many “best of” red carpet jewelry compilations to count. For example, she appeared at the 2008 Oscars in L’Wren Scott’s necklace of nearly 1,400 carats of rough and polished diamonds when roughs were hitting peak popularity. She wore antique pieces in advance of antique/vintage jewelry becoming a major direction coming from awards season. And she has worn both established and independent designers, displaying her ability to look amazing in a wide range of styles.

Kidman’s appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Netflix’s A Family Affair was no exception. She wore a nude color Gucci gown with one of the season’s biggest trends for holiday and beyond: a choker. It was a Gucci gold tone choker on a ribbon that worked effortlessly with the strapless bodice of the gown. She also wore fingers full of rings. There is mixed information on which designers’ rings they were, so it’s best to just say that along with a bracelet or two on one wrist, they added just enough sparkle without overdoing it with such a streamlined fitted dress and bold necklace.

Chokers, collars and torques have become one of the hot trends of holiday 2024 continuing into spring 2025. They range from everyday wearable to mega statement pieces.

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.”
