Venice Film Festival’s stars twinkled on the red carpet in the city of gondolas and romance. One of the more wearable trends we saw is front-facing hoops, some of which climb up the ear almost like a wave while others simply rest on the front. We see them in a variety of incarnations, from diamond sparklers to those set with pearls or colored stones. It’s a trend that continues to grow and create plenty of hoopla.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
