While Halloween may be behind us, the enchanting spirit of the season shows no signs of fading as we embrace the beginning of November.
Excitement is building for the highly anticipated release of Universal Pictures’ cinematic adaptation of the immensely popular, Tony Award-winning Broadway musical “Wicked,” set to hit theaters later this month on November 22.
Featuring the extraordinary talents of Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, the misunderstood witch, and pop sensation Ariana Grande as Galinda (also known as Glinda), “Wicked” offers a fresh perspective on the iconic witches from “The Wizard of Oz.”
The musical is rooted in Gregory Maguire’s acclaimed 1995 novel, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” which cleverly explores themes of friendship, identity, and power through the lens of this beloved tale.

In an exciting fusion of fantasy and fashion, Wicked x Sydney Evan has launched a delicate fine jewelry capsule collection conceived by Rosanne Karmes, the innovative founder and designer of the brand.
Karmes mentioned her vision to “seamlessly incorporate the DNA of Sydney Evan and ‘Wicked’ into every piece, merging both universes,” resulting in a collection that reflects the essence of both the musical and the jewelry design.
Charming elements inspired by the “Wicked” universe—featuring Elphaba’s iconic hat and boot, the wizard’s whimsical hot air balloon, and Galinda’s delightful perfume bottle—adorn beaded bracelets embellished with striking green (symbolizing Elphaba) or pink gemstones (for Galinda), showcasing the signature style of Sydney Evan.
The collection expands beautifully to include stunning gemstone-laden necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, alongside a remarkable 14-karat gold bangle bracelet and a bar necklace showcasing “Wicked” symbols and enchanting coin charms, including our standout Piece of the Week.
Representing Erivo’s formidable character, Elphaba, our Piece of the Week features the Sydney Evan x Wicked “Spell Book” coin charm crafted in radiant 14-karat gold.
Adorning the charm’s front is a beautiful moth encircled by a shimmering ring of emeralds and diamonds, while the reverse side delivers an inspiring message: “Unlock the Magic Within.”
This exquisite treasure is priced at $2,465.
