The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is more than just the wife of Prince Harry. She is an inspiration, especially regarding fashion. The choices she makes as a style icon, motivated people all over the world to follow her. Her influence is such that an independent Brooklyn-based jewelry brand experienced immense sales after the paparazzi caught her wearing a budget-friendly ring.
More than 20,000 people fell in love with the ethically-designed gold ring. The Duchess used to wear Catbird’s half-millimeter Threadbare ring long before she received her title. She even wrote about her preference towards the style on her lifestyle blog, “The Tig,” when it was still running.
When news of Meghan Markle’s relationship with Prince Harry reached the public, she and her wardrobe came under the limelight.
The founder of Catbird claimed that it drastically increased the sale of the company’s design.
Founder Rony Vardi further told Women’s Wear Daily how less the demands were for those thin stackable rings when she started selling her products in New York.
According to sources, the Threadbare ring is a result of several hands employed under ethical standards in New York.
Today, this ring is the brand’s best-selling item. Even celebrities approve of it.
Ms. Vardi also added, “It’s so easy to wear and effortless. You can just leave it on, it’s not fussy.”
“It’s a tiny, easy spark of gold and luxury, it’s a lovely treat that you can have something that’s not super-flashy and feels personal to you.”
If customers hadn’t seen the ring on Meghan’s hand, it wouldn’t have been as popular as it is today.
Some say, “PS – This ring is worn every day by a certain American turned princess with the initials M.M.!”
She is a former Suits star who flaunted the ring many times before mentioning it in her archived blog in 2015.
Meghan’s picture appeared before the general public in 2018 when she accepted Prince Harry as her husband. Sometimes the rings were alone, while they had a few companions with them on the Anzac Day commemorations in London.
People even spotted her wearing the same jewelry when they clicked pictures of her when she was on her way to a radio station.
Meghan had the rings on her finger when she watched the UK trials for the Invictus Games in Sydney.
A few throwback photographs appeared on the Sussex Royal Instagram account. There is an image among the others where she wears the Threadbare rings during her trip to Botswana with Prince Harry in 2017.
It is no secret that Meghan prefers ethical jewelry and she sticks to the same pieces. There are several photographs to prove it.
