January 7, 2019

It's a well known fact that almost as soon as either Duchess Meghan or Duchess Kate step out the door, you can find a full list of outfit credits online to snap up the exact same looks yourself. That is, if they don't sell out instantly which sadly nine out of ten times they do. However, when Meghan joined Prince Harry went across the world to visit Fiji, New Zealand and Australia back in October 2018, Meghan was seen wearing a pair of incredible diamond drop earrings that no one could find the credit for.

Made completely from diamonds, and in the shape of a modern take on the classic chandelier earring - the jewels fastened to the ear with large round diamonds before fanning out to three strands of crystal-clear gems. But, where did Meghan find them and which designer was she championing? Well, one nifty Instagram user (@shoplikemeghan) has solved the mystery and revealed that Meghan snapped up the jewels back in 2016, the year she started dating Prince Harry, and the brand behind them is Butani Jewellery. The namesake of the founder, Butani, he is described as an "internationally renowned designer of haute couture jewellery" and has shops worldwide. Of course, he only specialises in the best quality of diamonds, gems and metals.

A firm favourite of Meghan's, not only did she wear them on her world tour Down Under but also to Prince Charles's 70th birthday at the end of last year. A well known jewels fanatic - she's known to have a serious penchant for jewellery. She is often seen wearing stacked gold rings or bracelets during the day and of course, has worn some of her personal collection of serious jewels as well as the Royal family's for public occasions. Who can forget the showstopping tiara she borrowed for her nuptials in May 2018 from the Queen or that utterly stunning aquamarine ring she wore of the late Princess Diana to her evening reception?
