The designer calls it the “Cure for the Itch” collection.

Inspired by her own anxiety, British designer Charlotte Garnett developed a new jewelry concept aimed at stymying anxiety-driven behavior like habitual fiddling, chain smoking and nervous twitching, The Mighty explains. Her “Cure for the Itch” collection is comprised of three sub-collections, each of which targets specific behaviors, the report says. “The pieces are intended to be used as grounding tools to promote mindfulness and provide subtle alternatives to existing negative habits (such as your nail biting!) whilst maintaining a sense of fun and playfulness in their use,” Garnett wrote in an email to The Mighty.

Spinner rings from Charlotte Garnett aim to help wearers reduce their nervous tics.

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.”
