Meghan Markle once again used her jewelry to send a subtle message to the public about one of the social justice issues closest to her heart.
The royal and her husband, Prince Harry, appeared on the cover of Time to commemorate making the magazine’s prestigious 100 Most Influential People list. For the photoshoot, Harry wore an all-black outfit while Meghan opted for all white, pairing her button-up and high-waisted trousers with a subtle $525 “Duet” pinky ring by Shiffon worn on her left hand alongside her engagement ring. And according to the brand’s website, this piece of jewelry also comes with a secret social justice message. “Set with a tiny diamond beside a larger diamond, this dainty and uniquely adjustable ring represents one woman supporting another through a ‘pinky promise,’” the product description reads. The ring is also a favorite with celebs like Christy Turlington, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Obama, and one of Meghan’s closest friends, Serena Williams.
But Shiffon isn’t just all talk when it comes to empowering women, the company also donates 50% of its profits to fund female entrepreneurs, supporting eleven of these start-ups to date. They also use recycled metals and ethically sourced stones in their designs, packaging them all in minimal and reusable material. On the “About” section of brand’s website, they state, “Our mission at Shiffon is to close that gender gap, particularly in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is about taking action and learning quickly, and we want to give women the opportunity to do that while not being afraid to take risks or fail. We are optimistic that we can begin making this change. Through our efforts, we aim to financially empower a million women across the globe by 2025.”
Of course, this is hardly the first time the Duchess of Sussex has used her accessories to send a subtle message about the things—and people—most important to her. Just last month, Meghan released a video announcing a new Archewell mentorship program in celebration of her 40th birthday in which she wore two Logan Holliwell constellation necklaces showing off the zodiac signs of her children, Archie and Lili. The beginning of her relationship with Harry was also marked by a number of personalized baubles. In December 2016, when the pair had first started dating, Meghan was photographed shopping in Toronto wearing a dainty gold necklace with the initials “M” and “H” on it. And, in case that message wasn’t clear enough, in February 2017, the Duchess doubled down on her new love, adding a gold ring with the letter “H” on it into her rotation.
