Presley Oldham's pearls are popping up at Bergdorf Goodman.
The department store has snapped up the Brooklyn-based designer's colorful line of organic pearl and glass beaded 'compost' jewelry for the summer. Starting Thursday through the end of July, Oldham will be situated on 5f, Bergdorf's contemporary fifth floor. 'It does feel kismet,' he said, given the launch date coincides with his brand's fifth anniversary.

Oldham, the nephew of fashion designer Todd Oldham, currently sells through a number of smaller boutiques in addition to running his own e-commerce, but Bergdorf is the first landmark retailer to feature his line. 'The array of jewelry they curate is unlike any other in the world, and I feel so lucky to now be included,' he added.
Bergdorf will also be the first to stock his spring 2025 collection, which Oldham debuted as a CFDA award nominee with a presentation during New York Fashion Week. Additionally, the jeweler sourced unique pearls to create three exclusive one-of-a-kind necklaces.
'One style is made with luscious lavender coin pearls the size of quarters, another is made with blush pink iridescent pearls that look like little bubblegum pieces,' he said. 'Then there are these amazing winged baroque pearls that are the most beautiful, organic cloud shapes you could dream of.' Retailing for $2,800, these are at the top end of Oldham's line, which is typically priced below $1,000.
Oldham has been working to elevate the line with an eye toward finer materials recently and, for Bergdorf, that meant switching older styles from sterling silver to 14-karat yellow gold fill, which he said 'brings a lovely warmth to the collection.'
In return, Bergdorf is offering him a warm welcome. Andrew Mandell, its divisional merchandise manager for decorative home and jewelry, praised Oldham for 'bringing an entirely new perspective to jewelry' through his 'confluence of wit, optimism and craft.'
On May 9, Bergdorf will host a cocktail event in Oldham's honor as the kickoff to Mother's Day gifting.
'Celebrating the launch over Mother's Day felt like the perfect fit for the entire family to come shopping,' Oldham said. 'Jewelry is always an heirloom item that can be passed down to future generations, and hopefully shoppers are able to create a special Bergdorf memory of their own when purchasing a piece of mine.'

New trailer type gets strong underride guard
Stoughton extends IIHS-award-winning underride protection to container shipping ARLINGTON, Va., June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A Stoughton chassis designed for container transport is the first of its kind to qualify for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's TOUGHGUARD award for superior underride protection. Wisconsin-based Stoughton, a leading manufacturer of semitrailers, previously earned the award for its dry vans and refrigerated vans. Now the company's 53-foot intermodal chassis also meets the TOUGHGUARD criteria. The award applies to models built after April 2025. An intermodal chassis is a special type of trailer that can carry shipping containers directly transferred from ships or railcars. 'We're excited about the commitment that Stoughton has shown to preventing underride crashes,' IIHS President David Harkey said. 'Improving the safety of commercial vehicles is a key part of our 30x30 strategy, which targets a 30% reduction in road fatalities by 2030.' A rear underride guard is a metal frame attached to the back of a semitrailer to prevent lower-riding vehicles from sliding beneath the trailer in the event of a rear-end crash. All rear underride guards must meet federal safety standards. However, IIHS research and crash tests have shown that many can buckle or break off in a crash. Underride guards that meet the TOUGHGUARD criteria are substantially more likely to withstand an impact, reducing the severity of the crash. Until now, only dry van, refrigerated and flatbed trailers have qualified. But with the growing importance of shipping containers in global trade, more and more freight is being transported using intermodal chassis. Chassis-type trailers present a unique challenge when it comes to underride protection. The frame of a dry van, refrigerated or flatbed trailer extends across its entire wheelbase, supporting the underride guard for its full width. In contrast, an intermodal chassis is a ladder-like structure that lies between the trailer's wheels to support the removable container. For that reason, the underride guard required a completely new design. Instead of a vertical support attached to the trailer deck, the chassis guard features long, diagonal supports running from the guard's outboard ends to the chassis rails. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) updated federal regulations governing rear underride protection on large trucks in June 2022. However, the new rule remains far less stringent than the TOUGHGUARD requirements and is not expected to push manufacturers to improve. 'A major weakness of the federal regulation is that in the required test, the underride guard is bolted to a universal testing rig instead of an actual trailer,' IIHS Senior Test Coordinator Sean O'Malley said. 'When we were developing the TOUGHGUARD program, we found that many underride guards that survived testing attached to NHTSA's rig broke off when attached to the trailer they were built to be used on, either because the attachment points on the trailer failed or the bolts did.' In contrast, IIHS evaluates underride guards on the trailers they are designed for. In the IIHS test, a midsize car crashes into the back of the parked trailer at 35 mph in three configurations, hitting the trailer with its full width, a 50% overlap and a 30% overlap. To earn the IIHS award, the guard must prevent underride in all three configurations. The 30% overlap configuration — which was left out of the new federal requirements — is the most challenging, because only the corner of the underride guard must absorb all the force of the impact. Initially, these tests were conducted in-house. Now IIHS allows trailer manufacturers to submit data and footage from tests conducted at their own facilities or by contractors for IIHS experts to review. The tests of Stoughton's intermodal chassis were conducted by Calspan. Stoughton was also among the earliest trailer manufacturers to earn a TOUGHGUARD award for its dry vans and refrigerated trailers in 2017. To date, nine North American trailer manufacturers, including the eight largest, have earned TOUGHGUARD awards. ### For more information, go to The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals.
