ONE OF THE STOPS on Olivia Wilde’s promotion tour for Don’t Worry Darling, which she directed and acted in, was The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. After wearing couture and high jewelry for the film festivals, Wilde dressed down for the taping of the show in a classic white t-shirt and wide-leg trousers, delicate necklace layers and a wrist full of bracelets and then headed off to Harry Styles’ concert in a white plunging neckline Stella McCartney dress.

Karla Welsh, Wilde’s stylist, created looks that ranged from bohemian chic to ’70s revival style to old Hollywood glamour for her whirlwind tour. But upon entering The Late Show, she looked right at home in New York City in her unstudied casual chic outfit and yellow gold choker with what seemed to be a diamond tennis necklace and long Y or lariat necklaces. We could identify two of her bracelets, which were created by independent designer Melissa Kaye. One was in 18K yellow gold with triple channel-set diamonds and the other was in 18K yellow gold; both featured a combination of sculptural and geometric influences for the elongated links. These were mixed with flexible yellow gold and diamond styles. She finished off the look with a Melissa Kaye 18K yellow gold and diamond Anya ring.

Although she looked elegant at the Venice Film Festival in her yellow Gucci dress and Gucci high jewelry and in other looks that included a sleek shimmering Valentino gown at the San Sebastián International Film Festival premiere, this was a look I could see myself wearing. In this case, reality trumps fantasy dress-up for the jewelry and the clothes.

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.
