As a Meghan Markle fan, I take pride in knowing every little detail about the royal family, from her son's full name (opens in new tab) to her taste in shoes (opens in new tab). (By the way, these are the six brands (opens in new tab) she always wears.) There is much to learn about the Duchess of Sussex (opens in new tab) just by studying her style. She wears pants (opens in new tab) in all situations, sometimes literally. She is an advocate for strong women (as evidenced by her relationship with Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy). She is bold, fierce, and an independent thinker. Yes, that last bit was an exaggeration. But if you've followed her fashion for as long as I have, you know that Meghan's personality, and by extension her style, is more openly bold (opens in new tab) than the other women in the royal family.

But as much as she experiments and pushes the envelope in her wardrobe choices, Meghan's taste in jewelry is the exact opposite. It is simple and unadorned. She wears delicate rings, necklaces, and earrings (with the exception of the huge one she wore to Prince Charles' birthday party (opens in new tab)) for everyday wear, as well as to lavish galas and receptions. Her accessories never make a loud statement, but rather blend nicely with her tailored dresses and pants. As with shoes, Meghan comfortably combines a variety of jewelry brands, from luxurious to affordable. Here are seven of her go-to brands for when she's not borrowing tiaras (opens in new tab) from the queen's private collection.

On several occasions, Princess Meghan has been spotted wearing her friend Jennifer Meyer's jewelry line.

Princess Meghan has been spotted several times wearing yellow gold vermeil Talon earrings (opens in new tab) by British jewelry designer Shaun Lean. They were a gift from her close friend, Soho House consultant Marcus Anderson. After she was photographed wearing them, the earrings sold out in all four metal colors (proof of the Meghan Markle effect (opens in new tab)), and the designer herself has said in interviews that she now designs with Meghan in mind. She's very elegant, very chic, with clean lines, but with a very strong silhouette. She's very confident," Leanne tells People (opens in new tab). In addition to these earrings, Meghan has also worn bracelets like the designer's Fang Bangle (opens in new tab) on past royal tours in New Zealand and Australia. Celebrities who have worn Shaun Lean jewelry include Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, and Emma Watson.

This minimalist jewelry brand, founded by Ronnie Vardi in 2004, offers everything from barely-there rings to bracelets you never want to (and indeed cannot) take off (opens in new tab), as dainty as one can imagine ... The delicate accessories have been well received by the Duchess of Sussex, who has worn the thin gold bands on several trips from London to Scotland. Princess Meghan likes to have three or four rings on her hand at a time, and the brand's simple, understated designs work well with more intricate pieces. If you're looking for a base piece to layer rings on, invest in a Threadbare style. Royalty.

This UK site -Marisa Hodan left the corporate world in 2007 to turn her passion for jewelry and hobby into a successful business. Most of her jewelry is made of gold vermeil (real gold plated thickly over a sterling silver base).

Princess Meghan has worn Adina Reiter at least eight times, proving that this jewelry brand is one of her favorites. Meghan first showed off the brand's small earrings (open in new tab) when she attended a Commonwealth Day service in March 2018. Over time, the royal family has acquired more pieces, including a teardrop necklace (pictured above).

For special occasions that require more regal jewelry, Meghan turns to Burkes. (This Canadian brand was founded in 1979 and produces high-end jewelry that can cost thousands of dollars.) At high-profile events such as Meghan's 2017 engagement photo call (opens in new tab) and the Queen's Christmas lunch, Meghan wore Burkes earrings; on her 2018 royal tour of Ireland with Prince Harry (opens in new tab), she wore Birks' stunning yellow drop earrings at the reception. Later, she wore diamond stud earrings when she visited the Nelson Mandela centennial exhibition (opens in new tab).

Meghan confirms that the world is paying attention to a brand that is trying to make a difference.
