The sighting: Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley recently posted a glamorous series of Instagram photos showcasing a strand of pearls on her ankle.

The jewels: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s anklet is by Jessica McCormack, from the brand’s Beaches collection. The anklet features freshwater pearls on green thread with a 0.40 TCW diamond set in blackened 18K white and yellow gold. The piece is listed on the designer’s website for £4,000.

The trends: Punk pearls – pearls that subvert traditional style norms – have been big for the past few years and are especially successful with Gen Z. Mermaid-core and Coastal Cowgirl are two of this summer’s big trends, and this checks the box for both.

What do we think? I think this looks awesome, but I must say: the idea of wearing pearls on my ankle does cause me some anxiety.

Surely jewels worn that close to the foot are a perfect moment for demi-fine? What if you trip? Or catch your stiletto in your anklet? But then again, I’m sure that Huntington-Whiteley can easily replace her pearl anklet if it does sustain any damage.

Judgement: 12/10 for a really cool looking piece that stresses me out a little bit.

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!”
