Redefining tradition: Divorce rings are trending after Emily Ratajkowki repurposed her stunning engagement ring and singles are buying there own engagement-style rings.
I have come late to the Taylor Swift party, but thanks to my daughter and niece, it didn’t take long for me to get on board. We saw and loved The Eras Tour

Earthy, organic, with a romantic, vaguely vintage, fairy-dusted patina. Today, that could describe any number of jewelry designers cultivating a boho luxe aesthetic, but that general look and feel originated with California-based Cathy Waterman in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The East Coast answer was Karen Karch, in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, and skewed a little more rock ’n’ roll. And there were other indie talents quietly going against the grain in their city or city-adjacent studios. All their work predated Instagram and a stylist-orchestrated red carpet demanding bigger, bolder jewels (and gems).
Stores like Twist and Ylang-Ylang in Dallas (now Ylang 23) knew a good thing when they saw it and gave Waterman a platform that ballooned into widespread name recognition, paving the way for the designer’s many adherents.
