Revealed: The 'Sentimental' Meaning Behind Meghan Markle's 2019 U.S. Open Jewelry
Over the weekend, Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle attended the U.S. Open final at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York. The solo trip was taken in order to support her friend Serena Williams as she attempted to gain her 24th Grand Slam singles title. While she was there, many fans of the British royal family were watching the former "Suits" actress' fashion choices, but her jewelry in particular really caught everyone's eye.
According to People, the two gold dog tag pendants that the Duchess wore were designed by Mini Mini Jewels, a Los Angeles-based jewelry brand. They retail between $124.99 and $244.99 each and can be purchased through the brand's website. The 14-karat gold necklace, which had both an 'M' and 'H' initial engraved into it, paid a special tribute to her family back in the U.K. and were called a "sentimental style statement" by the publication.

Additionally, both necklaces were said to feature a diamond accent and an 'A' engraving, which symbolized baby Archie Harrison. This is also the first time the specific pieces had been seen in public. The brand commemorated Meghan's public approval of their jewelry by Instagramming about the occasion, which can be seen below.
Reportedly, the company was recommended to her by stylist and friend Jessica Mulroney, who also owns several pieces from the brand herself.
"Jessica is a huge fan of ours and it was through her that Meghan heard about us. We sent her a few of our initial pieces because we thought she might like them and then of all of sudden we saw them on her and we couldn't believe it!" founder and designer Tracey Kahn told People.
This would not be the first time that Meghan has made quiet but intentional choices when it comes to the businesses she supports. For her Aug. 4 birthday this year, she purchased a cake from Luminary Bakery that had a special meaning as well.
As for how business has picked up after the Duchess wore the necklaces to the tennis outing, Kahn revealed that their phone had been "ringing constantly." "It's been crazy, we've had orders from all over the world. It's just so cool, we're buzzing right now and we couldn't be happier," she shared.
