The world may know her as a duchess, an actress, and a cultural disruptor, but in 2025, Meghan Markle is topping headlines for something far more refined—her exquisite jewelry collection. From delicate heirlooms to bold, modern statements, Meghan’s signature sparkle has officially earned her the #1 spot on this year’s Glow List, and it’s easy to see why.
Each piece she wears tells a story—of love, legacy, and self-definition. This isn't celebrity flash or royal excess. It's a masterclass in meaning-meets-style, and the fashion world is taking notes.
When Meghan stepped back into the spotlight in early 2025 with her Netflix docuseries With Love, Meghan, her jewelry didn’t just complement her look—it became the look. Subtle moonstone pendants, engraved pinky rings, and timeless Cartier pieces dominated every frame. But what made it all sing was the story behind it.
Take her three-stone engagement ring, for example. The center diamond, sourced from Botswana where Meghan and Harry’s love story blossomed, is flanked by two smaller stones from Princess Diana’s personal collection. It’s romance and remembrance wrapped around her finger. Add to that the Cartier Love bracelet, a sleek piece Meghan’s worn since her early acting days, now a symbol of enduring connection—and you begin to see the narrative she’s crafting, one piece at a time.
But Meghan isn’t just drawing from royal vaults. She's curating with purpose. One of this year’s most talked-about pieces is her emerald choker from Logan Hollowell, a tribute to Archie’s birthstone. There’s also the pinky signet ring engraved with an intertwined “H” and “M” beneath a miniature coronet—believed to be Harry’s anniversary gift. Meghan doesn’t just wear jewelry. She wears moments.
Critics used to accuse her of being too Hollywood. Too modern. But now, her style is redefining royal elegance. It’s not about tiaras or towering diamonds—it’s about intentional beauty. She favors ethically sourced brands like Kimaï and Logan Hollowell, often choosing lab-grown stones and recycled gold, which subtly speaks to her values. She doesn’t need to be loud to be heard. Her jewelry speaks softly—and powerfully.
At recent public appearances, Meghan’s choices have been as strategic as they are stunning. During the 2025 Invictus Games in Sydney, she wore a stacked set of gold bangles with delicate diamond detailing, all handmade and ethically produced. No oversized logos. No clashing colors. Just grace, geometry, and glints of personal meaning.
Fashion editors are calling it “quiet luxury.” But in Meghan’s case, it’s louder than any trend. She’s setting the tone for a new kind of status—one that’s not defined by price, but by purpose. That’s exactly why she’s not just topping jewelry lists this year—she’s reshaping them.
There’s also a distinct softness in how Meghan blends the past with the present. Her frequent pairing of Princess Diana’s Cartier Tank Française watch with modern hoop earrings and dainty chain necklaces feels like a nod to two very different eras, perfectly balanced in her orbit. She honors legacy without being trapped by it. And that’s the secret to her timeless splendor.
As 2025 unfolds, stylists and shoppers alike are rushing to decode her jewelry drawer. But here’s the truth: you can’t buy what Meghan wears with money alone. Her collection is built on meaning, memory, and message. That’s why it shines so brightly. And that’s why it tops the Glow List—because in a world of fleeting trends, Meghan Markle wears permanence.
