Meghan Markle has always put her best foot forward when it comes to her own personal style—the tailored sets, bold colors that flatter, and her casual elegance that drew her fans in from the start still reign in her wardrobe today.
And while her jewelry choices are typically simpler than other royals, she has a collection of pieces that translate perfectly from dressier events to everyday life. Here, a lesson how to accessorize with a less-is-more approach, just like Meghan.
The newly married Duke and Duchess of Sussex headed off to their evening wedding reception at Frogmore House. Meghan wore Princess Diana's aquamarine ring that Prince Harry gifted to her from the late princess' personal collection.
Meghan Markle's engagement ring was designed by Prince Harry himself. The three-stone ring boasts a cushion cut center diamond sourced from Botswana, which was a meaningful spot to the couple during their courtship.
Here, a center pear-shaped diamond resting between two more pear-shaped side stones all come together to create a unique and heirloom-worthy engagement ring, much like Meghan's.
Meghan tends to lean towards classic and simple pieces—like the gold disc necklace seen here (paired with a chic white button-down) and a Cartier yellow gold Tank Française timepiece.
Another piece of Princess Diana's that Meghan was gifted was her yellow gold Tank Française watch. Originally, Prince William had the watch in his possession, but when he was ready to propose, he and Harry supposedly switched heirlooms (Harry gave him the sapphire and diamond ring that Kate now wears).
Victoire de Castellane often looks back to Christian Dior's iconic creations to mimic embroidery, lace, and the ripple of fabric through her jewelry creations. Here, she looked to the Junon dress that debuted at the Fall/Winter 1949 Haute Couture show as the catalyst for these diamond earrings.
