My reaction as soon as I discovered Meghan Markle [1] was wearing shell jewelry [2]: "OMG, OMG, she probably loves mermaids and the beach just like I do [3]!" Then: "Also I want that necklace." Meghan's design, worn simply with her Oscar de la Renta blouse [4] at the inaugural Coach Core Awards [5], fits into her delicate accessory style [6]. It's a piece by Pascale Monvoisin, which retails for $475 at Net-a-Porter [7] and is made from nine-carat rose gold with a tiny inlaid diamond stone. Get excited, there are even matching earrings [8] to complete the set.
While so many creations like this one come in lighter natural shades like ivory or sand, we're into the fact that Meghan's pick is black — it tied together her color scheme as she expertly paired her navy top with dark Altuzarra slacks and pumps. Whether or not you're into the shade, gorgeous shell pendants like this one are everywhere you look, and I'm about to show you some of my favorites after the jump.
