RIHANNA CHANGES UP her look consistently, and every time she does, it cements her role as trend-setter and one of the most iconic and stylish celebrities, entrepreneurs and singer/songwriters. At her Los Angeles launch of Fenty Hair, which will include a line of hair products for a variety of hair types, she set off fireworks with her all-scarlet fashion and jewelry. Fenty Hair is another addition to her successful Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin lines. One wonders if there is anything Riri can’t do.

For the purposes of this piece, let’s focus on her ability to transform into different looks and turn heads while doing it. Before we get to the jewelry, let’s mention her head of short, honey brown curls and the Instagram photo in which she wore a straight pixie style, which was perfect for the event and the launch of Fenty hair. Now for her red hot style of a custom Khaite slouchy leather bomber jacket and red slip dress, which was awe-inspiring on its own but even more jaw-dropping when she added two Indian designers’ ruby, rubellite and diamonds jewels to the mix.

She wore an eye-arresting Manish Malhotra 18K gold choker set with custom cut rubies and diamonds as the first layer around her neck and then added a three-drop necklace from Sabyasachi High Jewelry that featured a mix of rubellite and tourmaline gems with brilliant cut diamonds. I also noticed either a three-tiered ruby and diamond earring high up on her ear and a stunning cabochon cut ruby and diamond ring, but I cannot be sure which designer created these two pieces.

The monochromatic look was dramatic and chic and the jewels were aspirational yet on target with today’s trends toward red/scarlet/burgundy colored gemstones.

In keeping with her penchant for multiple earrings in each lobe and “diamonds,” she also wore two styles of studs by Reza — one with round diamonds and one with pear-shaped diamonds.

Rihanna is is a superstar for varied reasons, and her jewelry style is among the most creative, daring and statement-making of our time.

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.”
