“It’s like wearing a cherry pie!” declared the actress and jewelry collector Jennifer Tilly, as she slipped on the one-of-a-kind Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria gold statement ring festooned with miniature cherries in enamel, diamonds, pink sapphires, and rubies. She was having an impromptu private fitting on Sunday night’s opening event of Alta Moda, the Italian fashion brand’s annual multi-day luxury extravaganza, this year set in the Sicilian coastal town of Taormina. The price of that mini cherry pie: $145,000—before tax. “I’ll have to think about it,” Tilly told the vendeuse. She then rejoined the party in the cloister-like courtyard of the San Domenico Palace, the Four Seasons hotel set in a former 15th-century monastery perched on a cliff above the Ionian Sea—yes, the same hotel that was in Season Two of The White Lotus.
