The sighting: Billionaire artist and entrepreneur Rihanna has 8.5 million TikTok followers even though she has only posted twice.
That second and most recent video revealed the famous trendsetter wearing a very interesting toe ring.

The jewels: Rihanna’s toe diamond is a 9 carat pear shape diamond from XIV Karats. It’s simple, just a big ol’ diamond on a simple band. On a toe!

The trends: When Rihanna posted the video of her toe ring on TikTok, the only thing she wrote in the caption was “quiet luxury.” Her TikTok has two posts and 8.5 million followers, so it’s hard to overstate how many people have seen this one video.

There’s been a lot of buzz about Quiet Luxury as the next big thing, but does a 9 carat diamond on one’s toe truly count as quiet? I am not sure.

The top comment on Rihanna’s Tikok post is “Rihanna rocks a toe ring so I went out and bought a toe ring.” It has 31,000 likes. So I think it’s safe to assume this moment is influential.

What do we think? This is bananas in the best way. It’s exactly the kind of absurd, opulent weirdness that I love to see in celebrity jewelry. What is the point of being a celebrity if you don’t have the courage to wear a giant diamond on your toe when the fancy strikes you? Rock on, Rihanna.

Judgement: 10000/10. Male billionaires can waste their money on phallic rockets, Rihanna knows that toe diamonds are a better way to go.

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!”
