Meghan Markle dazzled in an elegant black evening gown and layers of white diamonds as she took to the red carpet yesterday evening for The Paley Honors gala in Beverley Hills.
The Duchess arrived at The Paley Center to support her friend Tyler Perry in a custom strapless black evening gown from Oscar de la Renta, which featured a daring split, and custom heels from Celine. What caught our attention, however, was her stunning choice of accessories.
Markle paired the outfit with an exquisite diamond necklace from Los Angeles jeweller Logan Hollowell. Containing roughly 20 carats worth of diamonds, the piece is worth approximately $33,000. According to the brand’s website, it’s inspired by Fortuna, a Roman goddess of fortune and luck.
“Crafted in 18k gold, this tennis necklace is a manifestation of Fortuna’s powers,” reads the product description. “Each diamond, carefully set in the necklace, reflects the goddess’s ability to randomise and bring luck, adding a touch of celestial brilliance to the wearer.”
Speaking to ‘Something About Rocks’ in 2022, Hollowell explains how she happened upon the brand’s signature style almost by accident. “I put five diamonds on the sketch of the ear and I kind of arranged them in a pattern and got some gold wire,” she recalls. “Then my jeweller said. “That looks like the Big Dipper,” and that was my first piece.
The whole idea was, I wanted to make a woman or man dipped in the cosmos, delicate but strong, that is my whole vision of the jewellery.”
Markle paired the shimmering design with her favourite $6,360 (£5,000) Cartier Love bracelet and a sentimental eternity ring from Lorraine Schwartz, which was gifted to her by Prince Harry to celebrate a year of marriage. The stones on the gold band hold the birthstones of both Harry, Meghan and baby Archie’s feature on the underside of the ring, out of public view.
