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.
