Meghan Markle spent £25,540 on a necklace she’s only worn once

Meghan wore the Cartier Juste un Clou necklace in 18K yellow gold to the Invictus Games Ceremony 2022 in The Hague.

The piece costs $32,100 and is from one of the French jewellery brand’s most popular collections.

The Juste un Clou design was created in New York in the 1970s. Cartier claims on its site the style “reflects the bold spirit of the era.

“Its nail-inspired silhouette breaks through conventions, asserting the essence of its wearer. Original, independent, fearless, and free.”

The style was created by Aldo Cipullo, also the mastermind behind the incredibly popular Love collection.

The designer aimed to take a simple nail and make a thing of beauty.

Meghan paired her necklace with a body suit from Khaite, black trousers and Manolo Blahnik pumps. On her wrist, she wore two diamond bracelets, one of which belonged to Princess Diana.

Besides the Juste un Clou necklace in her collection, Meghan also has the Juste un Clou ring in 18K gold and a number of Cartier pieces from other lines.

Meghan Markle has the £6,000 Cartier Love bracelet, a cult classic with a historical link to Wallis Simpson, another American to marry into the British Royal Family.

The bracelets were given to celebrity couples on the original release, including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

The Duchess also wore this bracelet at the Hague, matching her Cartier necklace.

Meghan wore a huge £234,500 worth of Cartier jewellery on her wedding day, too, which she’s never worn since.

Meghan opted for the large Reflection de Cartier earrings, which can still be bought from Cartier for a massive £71,500.

These earrings pale in comparison compared to the cost of the matching bracelet, which costs an eye-watering £163,000.

One piece of jewellery Meghan hasn’t worn in recent months is her £15,000 wedding gift from King Charles. In fact, the Duchess of Sussex hasn’t worn this piece for over a year.

The gift was created for the Duchess by royal warrant holders Bentley & Skinner, made of ninety-two round brilliant-cut diamonds, weighing a total of 2 carats, set in white gold.

According to the style blog Meghan’s Mirror, the mum-of-two last wore the bracelet on April 17, 2022, during the Invictus Games in The Hague. Since, the Duchess has favoured other jewellery.
