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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
