The sighting: Model Bella Hadid recently attended the American Performance Horseman competition to cheer on her boyfriend, Adan Banuelos. Hadid fully embraced country style for the occasion, in a Western hat, leather pants and plenty of chunky jewelry.

The jewels: The star of the show here was Hadid’s statement necklace, a striking silver and turquoise pendant strung on a leather cord or a black ribbon.

The blog StarStyle credited Hadid’s necklace as a “Navajo Pilot Mountain Necklace,” and some Google sleuthing led me to this sold listing on NativoArts for a sold-out vintage Navajo pilot mountain necklace, which is listed for $1,899.95 but on sale for $427.

I don’t know whether this is the exact piece that Hadid wore, but it certainly looks like it! The model also rocked a cuff bracelet and an assortment of chunky rings in both gold and silver.

The trends: This look happened after Beyonce announced Country Carter but before the album dropped, so I think this is proof that Hadid was an early adopter of the burgeoning craze for country styles.

Yes, this was a rodeo. But Hadid could easily have accessorized her outfit with a dainty gold necklace stack or something more like her usual style. I think the fact that she chose to go full country instead is telling.

It’s also worth noting the substance of the jewelry here: Everything’s bold and solid, with no daintiness or delicacy.

What do we think? This is a really cool necklace with great presence, and I love that Hadid chose to wear both gold and silver rings with it. Mixed metals forever!

Judgement: 11/10 for a very cool country moment.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
