Taylor Swift's Red Garnet Ring Is on Sale at Mejuri
It's not often that a jewelry brand is editor-approved, celebrity-worn, and reasonably affordable, but Toronto-based label Mejuri checks all those boxes. From budget-friendly everyday staples to investment-worthy fine jewelry, the minimalist brand truly offers something for every occasion and budget—which is precisely why I've been wearing (and gifting) Mejuri jewelry for over five years now. Learning that A-listers like Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, Selena Gomez, and Sydney Sweeney are fellow fans only further cemented Mejuri as one of the best jewelry brands in my rotation.
'As a self-proclaimed jewelry fanatic, I've found Mejuri to be a great place to start your jewelry collection,' says Dale Arden Chong, ELLE senior fashion commerce editor. 'The pieces feel modern yet timeless, ranging from dainty to chunky. And when you're ready, you can start investing in the brand's beautiful fine pieces.'
Chong says she's been wearing the same Mejuri initial necklace for years and that it still earns her regular compliments. I can say the same for my beloved Mejuri pearl hoops, which Oprah just so happens to wear, too. The best part? The brand is currently in the midst of its Summer Sale, which runs until August 17—and the entire site is up to 25 percent off when you spend $150, including celeb-approved options.
From Olivia Rodrigo's classic red carpet hoops to Taylor Swift's Travis Kelce-coded ring, I tracked down the exact Mejuri pieces worn by celebrities so you, too, can feel like a VIP.
Mejuri's Garnet Heirloom Ring makes the ultimate gift for a Swiftie (even if said Swiftie is yourself). Taylor Swift was seen wearing it to celebrate the Chief's AFC Championship win with her boyfriend Travis Kelce. Crafted from solid 14k gold and a genuine garnet stone, the timeless design is an instant keepsake.
Sydney Sweeney wore Mejuri's bestselling Dôme Hoops during a press event for the film Anyone But You– and it's certainly not the only time she's been seen wearing the $88 gold hoops. Handcrafted in 18k gold vermeil or sterling silver, they'll instantly liven up your look yet are lightweight enough for long periods of wear.
The magic of Mejuri's affordable pieces is that they can easily be paired with higher-end styles. Case in point: Markle wore the brand's under-$100 chunky huggies and Charlotte Bold Ring with a gold Cartier Love bracelet to Variety's Power of Women Awards last year.
'I love how they are simple enough to go with everything but edgy enough to make a statement,' writes one reviewer. 'They close with a good click that feels very secure, and they don't weigh my ears down.'
Mejuri practically wrote the book on quiet luxury jewelry. Its reasonably-priced, solid gold hoops are versatile enough to suit laidback, everyday outfits or red carpet ensembles à la Olivia Rodrigo. The same can be said for the brand's solid gold studs and growing selection of both natural and lab-grown diamond earrings.
At a Paris Fashion Week event last year, supermodel Gigi Hadid complemented her lacy Miu Miu dress with Mejuri's Bold Pearl Drop Earrings. As one reviewer aptly describes them: 'They're not too old-fashioned-y but still very classic.'
When it comes to fine jewelry, timeless pieces are the brand's specialty. Take, for instance, Quinta Brunson's Diamond Riviere Bracelet, which features 176 natural diamonds bezel-set in solid 14k gold. The Abbott Elementary star also wore the brand's Patra Pavé Diamond Ring, Patra Chunky Ring, and Bold Pearl Drop Earrings to the same event.
Mejuri confirmed on Instagram that Scarlett Johansson wore its sleek mixed metal Stevie Hoops during a recent Tonight Show appearance. The adaptable style can be worn with or without the secondary hoop, so you're essentially scoring two pairs of earrings in one.
Even Oprah can't resist the charm of Mejuri's affordable hoop earrings. In a photo posted to her Instagram, she wears the brand's sophisticated Organic Pearl Hoops—a style I'm also known to frequent. Minimalist but far from boring, each slim 18k gold vermeil hoop features a handpicked freshwater pearl.
The curved, classic designs of Mejuri's Dôme collection are favorites of celebrity stylists and fashion editors alike. From Anna Sophia Robb's Mega Dôme Earrings to a stackable diamond pavé ring, these wearable works of art make top-tier jewelry gifts.

How The Fellowship of the Ring explains post-9/11 America
When Peter Jackson's epic adaptation of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring debuted on December 10, 2001, it was considered a likely boondoggle. Hollywood hadn't launched a truly successful fantasy film franchise since the first Star Wars trilogy in the 1970s. If it was going to create one now, the savvy take was that the Harry Potter movies were a better bet, with a more active fan base and a simpler, more movie-friendly plot structure than that boasted by JRR Tolkien's labyrinthine Lord of the Rings trilogy. What's more, Peter Jackson's last major film, 1996's The Frighteners, was a flop. Jackson, Variety wrote at the time, with slight incredulity, 'must have convinced someone that he would do it right.'

Fellowship and its sequels became a template for what Hollywood success would look like over the next two decades. It showed executives that people were eager to see expensive, high-production value adaptations of intellectual property they already knew and loved, and that they would pay well for the privilege. It showed that audiences were willing to put up with a certain amount of lore — even labyrinthine lore — in exchange for high-stakes battles with a little artful CGI to make them look all the more epic. But Fellowship had a special resonance with its audience because of the moment in which it came out: a mere three months after September 11, 2001. It met an American audience ready and eager to throw themselves into the story of an epic battle between good and evil — one that good was definitely going to win. The parallels felt almost too good to be true. It met an American audience ready and eager to throw themselves into the story of an epic battle between good and evil — one that good was definitely going to win. 'With the world newly obsessed with the clash of good and evil, the time would seem to be ideal for 'The Lord of the Rings,'' mused Variety. 'Tolkien's tale of good people who band together against a Dark Lord and his minions has never been more timely than in our troubled age,' declared the New York Post. The Fellowship of the Ring introduced audiences to the peaceful, prosperous Shire, only to show them how its vulnerable borders left it open to attack by the faceless, subhuman hordes of the forces of evil. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, with its pacifist hobbit hero, is frequently read as an antiwar tract. But to an American audience that felt newly vulnerable and desperate for revenge, Jackson's Fellowship felt like a perfect allegory for why a 'war on terror' was not just desirable but in fact necessary. Writing in the New York Times in 2002, film critic Karen Durbin ran through the 'accidental echoes' between the Lord of the Rings films and the war on terror: 'Evil or 'Evildoers?' Sauron or Saddam? And how many towers?' The parallels were real. George W. Bush really did vow to rid the world of evil-doers, and Tolkien's characters really do spend a lot of time pontificating on the forces of evil. Incidentally, Lord of the Rings villain Sauron does sound a bit like former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and there is an unfortunate echo between the title of Tolkien's second volume, The Two Towers, and the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Even without those echoes, Durbin went on, there was an uncomfortable blurring between the spectacle of the films' battle sequences and military propaganda. 'Dehumanizing the other guy is the first step in training soldiers and fighting wars,' she wrote, decrying Jackson's plentiful scenes of animalistic and terrifying orcs marching on the small, scrappy fellowship. 'The danger is that this is what makes not just warfare palatable but extermination itself.' The interpretation of the whole Lord of the Rings franchise as an allegory of America's war on terror was so pervasive that when The Two Towers came out in 2002, Viggo Mortensen, the actor playing heroic Aragorn, spent a lot of his press tour trying to shut it down. 'I don't think that The Two Towers or Tolkien's writing or our work has anything to do with the United States' foreign ventures,' he said on Charlie Rose, 'and it upsets me to hear that.' (Tolkien, for the record, insisted that his story was 'neither allegorical nor topical' when the books' first audiences wanted to read it as a World War II narrative.) The message embedded in Fellowship would prove more apt as the war on terror went brutally on. In Tolkien's mythology, the ring's power will be misused by a nation that considers itself good just as surely as it will be misused by a group caricatured in the press as evil. No one can resist the corruptive force of pure power. At the time, The Lord of the Rings parallels felt uncanny. Looking back, they betray how difficult it was for anyone in America to see the world through any lens outside of 9/11 at the time — and how seductive it was to imagine oneself as part of a grand conflict that was both ethical and morally pure. The Lord of the Rings offered Americans a vision in which the forces of good, no matter how corruptible, went to war under a white flag, and the forces of evil, no matter how complicated their backstory, went to war under a black flag. It was more than escapist enough for America's bruised and reeling spirit in 2001. We, too, could be Aragorn, heroic and brave and good — and we could make our nemesis into Sauron, too evil even to have a face.

See renderings: The Improper Pig to open in Plaza Midwood
The Improper Pig, a Charlotte-born barbecue joint known for mixing smoked meats with Asian flavors, is opening in Plaza Midwood this fall. Why it matters: It's replacing The Pizza Peel & Taproom, which closed last summer after a decade on the prominent corner of Central and Thomas avenues. Dig in: Expect anything but traditional BBQ, according to co-owner Will Bigham. The Improper Pig is known for its Asian-barbecue fusion and was featured on The Food Network's"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" for its creative toppings. The new spot will feature new menu items, including vegetarian options like smoked tofu and the No Pig Sandwich. Plus, globally inspired sides, like Asian slaw and edamame. It'll also have an updated beverage menu with beer, wine and cocktails. Between the lines: Charlotte-based hospitality group Stomp, Chomp & Roll, founded by Bigham, owns Pizza Peel and The Improper Pig. They also own several franchised locations of The Flying Biscuit Café. Improper Pig's new Plaza Midwood location will serve as a flagship restaurant for the brand, kickstarting a redesign across its other restaurants. Flashback: The Improper Pig first opened in 2014 in Cotswold. Four years later, they expanded to Fort Mill. In 2019, they relocated the Cotswold restaurant to Rea Farms in South Charlotte. What's next: The Improper Pig will open at 1600 Central Ave. this fall.

Taylor Swift is driving everyone crazy (in a good way)
Taylor Swift People in entertainment Music MediaFacebookTweetLink Follow Musicians have long since figured out how to turn their album announcements into online frenzies. But it takes a different kind of superstar, and fanbase, to turn a release into a mystery treasure hunt. After a period of relative quiet, Taylor Swift appeared out of thin air to announce a new album, called 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Or she announced an announcement — she'll talk about the album first on her boyfriend's podcast later this week. This announcement arrived at the same time as a GQ profile of that boyfriend, Travis Kelce, making fans feel for the first time that they were really hearing from and seeing the couple, as a couple, directly. As a Swiftie, I can attest that we fans remain in a constant state of hunger for any dregs of connection, forced to search out breadcrumbs in her songs, music videos or even social posts that leave us spiraling (or 'clowning' as we like to say). The singer rarely does interviews and when she does they're in a much more formal setting — certainly more formal than on an often-meandering podcast with her boyfriend and his brother. This time? 'We're about to do a f*cking podcast!' Swift exclaimed in a preview for the episode of 'New Heights.' That podcast is expected to be released on August 13 at 7 p.m. ET. How excited are fans? One of my Swiftie friends even switched flights to ensure they're not 30,000 feet in the air when the podcast is released. Unable to wait a day to hear the podcast, eager fans have spent the hours since the announcement reviewing the hints that Swift appeared to sprinkle throughout her work in the past few years, pointing toward the album that fans took to calling 'TS12.' For at least a year, theorizing has revolved around the number 12 and the color orange. As always, the Swifties were right. On Monday morning a carousel of 12 photos was posted to Taylor Nation's Instagram with the caption, 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'' All those photos feature Swift in orange outfits that she wore while on The Eras Tour. There was also the famous orange door of the Eras tour, featured on a screen on stage as she performed the last song of the show 'Karma' which left many fans frantic and theorizing. That same orange color was featured in the background of this weeks' teaser for the 'New Heights' episode. Prior to the announcement that Swift would be the special guest, many fans had already put the pieces together based on the background color, the silhouette and the fact it was posted along with Taylor Nation's Instagram post. And before all of that, there was the TikTok video that Swift shared in October before her show at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. Swift is seen walking near section A12 — for fans, that signaled to August 12, the announcement day. If you think that sounds conspiracy-minded, a countdown appeared on Swift's website to 12:12am Eastern on August 12, which is when the name of her 12th studio album was released. So if you have a Swiftie in your life, this is why they sound a little loopy, raving about random numbers and colors, as they put on every orange piece of clothing they could find. But tell us while you wait — what else have you noticed?
