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.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
