Meghan Markle Wears More Jewelry Than Kate Middleton - Radar Online

Posted: 23 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT

Meghan Markle has reportedly become a Duchess of dazzle as she's amassed thousands of dollars worth of jewelry in the past 18 months!

Prince Harry's wife is also outshining her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who doesn't have nearly as much expensive bling, according to a new report in the Mail on Sunday.

After Meghan, 37, wore a diamond eternity ring Harry gave her to celebrate their first wedding anniversary at the Trooping of the Colour event in London this month, the former actress is believed to possess 600,000 English pounds worth of jewelry. That equals more than $764,000 in American dollars.

The eternity ring alone is worth more than $5,000 U.S.

Meghan's 91-piece jewelry haul after hooking up with Harry includes: Princess Diana's $95,000 aquamarine ring that the former Suits star wore on her wedding day; $76,000 Cartier drop earrings; and a set of pearl and diamond earrings from her grandmother-in-law the Queen which are worth about $5,000.

Her large collection already boasts seven necklaces, 23 bracelets, 26 rings and 35 pairs of earrings—and reportedly is more than was even in the late fashionista Princess Di's jewelry box!

It also puts the Duchess of Cambridge Kate's bling to shame.

Prince William's wife, 37, is said to currently own about 60 pieces of jewelry, including Diana's sapphire engagement ring worth an estimated 300,000 pounds (roughly $382,000 U.S.), and her pricey wedding gift from Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia which contained a sapphire watch, earrings, bracelet, ring and necklace.

Meghan has been seen wearing Diana's butterfly earrings and gold bracelet as her two sons have shared their mother's possessions.

Rumors have flown that flashy Meghan and modest Kate, the mother of three, have been feuding.

After Meghan and Harry's wedding on May 19, 2018, a source for The Sun said pointedly that the two women are "very different people." Kate supposedly hasn't liked the way Meghan, dubbed the diva Duchess, has handled royal staffers.

A few employees have quit after working for Meghan.

Although Kate has kept a regal silence regarding Meghan, they don't seem close. She and William didn't visit Meghan after she gave birth to baby Archie for eight days after Harry's wife gave birth.

And now it's clear the women's differences extend to their desire for bling!

20 Best Ear Piercing Ideas for 2019 - What Is a Curated Ear - Cosmopolitan.com

Posted: 16 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT

If you've scrolled through Instagram in the last, IDK, three months, you're well aware that ear piercings are having a moment. Like, it seems everyone collectively agreed that those basic-ass piercings you got at the mall in seventh grade are now a thing of the past, and they've been replaced with the curated ear: ultra-cool, ~edgy~ piercings that are tailored to your individual vibes.

I'm talking minimalist, stacked hoops on your helix and little clusters of studs on your lobes—basically, all the bling you stacked on your fingers last summer has now migrated up to your ears for summer 2019. And because every single human on Instagram is about to get in on the trend, I rounded up 20 truly pretty ear-piercing ideas to help you get inspired fast. Trust me when I say that these piercings are so good, you'll want to book an appointment immediately (even if you're deathly afraid of needles *raises hand*).

1 This Stacked Ear Piercing

My definition of an ear party? This stacked piercing idea. Have your piercer finish off a row of four earlobe piercings with two gemstone stud earrings on your helix (that's the cartilage-y part up above, BTW).

2 This Parallel Ear Piercing

This subdued (but suuuper cool) ear piercing is a great way to inch into the trend without full-on committing. The simple studs look great on their own, but they'll also look pretty with any piercings you decide to add later on.

3 This Double Lobe Piercing

Not sure you want to go full-throttle with your curated ear? Opt for a classic—but equally as inspo-worthy—look with two hoop piercings on your lobe.

4 This Creative Ear Piercing

There's nothing not to love about this ear-piercing idea—it's the perfect combination of minimalist and edgy, and it's super customizable with thin, gold earrings (think: you could swap the daith piercing for a helix to really make it your own).

5 This Triple Helix Piercing

Helix piercings definitely aren't for the faint of heart (especially if you have a low pain tolerance), but the payoff is beyond worth it, as seen in this triple gold hoop helix idea.

6 This Layered Ear Piercing

Play around with size and dimension for a layered ear that totally fits your vibe. Just keep in mind that most piercers won't do more than three piercings in one session (your body can reject too many piercings), so you'll need to build out your ear over time. But good things are worth waiting for, right? Especially when you can layer on the studs and jeweled hoops.

7 This Minimalist Ear Piercing

These dainty, perfectly curated piercings will make you want to pierce your ears right TF now. If you have enough space on your lobes, don't be afraid to ask your piercer to get creative with placement so you can deck yourself out with ultra-thin bands.

8 This Helix, Orbital, and Lobe Piercing

9 This Conch Ear Piercing

Keep it subtle—but PRETTY—with a double conch piercing like this one. Get creative with this cute little moon earring that's giving me major Sailor Moon vibes.

10 This Stacked Lobe Piercing

If you've got the space for it, why not upgrade your classic earlobe piercing with a little cluster of pearl and diamond studs? Highly recommend pairing these with a hoop earring because, um, look.

11 This Triple Helix Piercing

Layering three piercings along your cartilage is a quick way to take your ear game to the next level. Rather than hoops, opt for mini stud earrings to make the look extra unique and tiny.

12 This Orbital Ear Piercing

If a thick orbital piercing seems a liiittle out of your pain threshold, consider trying out the look with a cute ear cuff before you commit.

13 This Tragus Ear Piercing

Tragus piercings may be dainty, but they can really make a statement when you coordinate your jewelry with whatever's on your lobe (like this all-gold earring idea).

14 This Triple Lobe Piercing

This subtle ear-piercing idea is perfect for anyone who stays away from statement jewelry, since it looks best with subtle studs and tiny hoops.

15 This Double Forward Helix Piercing

There's just something extra cool about a forward helix piercing, but two piercings? That's seriously next level. Mix it up with contrasting gold and gemstone studs rather than matching ones.

16 This Stacked Lobe and Helix Piercing

I love how clean this curation looks—the three golden lobe piercings both complement and contrast the silver double helix studs excellently.

17 This Daith Ear Piercing

Daith piercings can definitely be on the painful side, but when they look this good, it's hard not to just say f*ck it and try it out. Keep it simple with a singular gold hoop.

18 This Curved Ear Piercing

Love jewelry? Work your way up to this all-around ear piercing so you can wear as many cutesy earrings as you damn well please.

19 This Double Cartilage Piercing

What's better than a single cartilage earring? This minimalist double cartilage piercing, obviously.

20 This Subtle Ear Piercing

Want a curated ear that flies under the radar? Look to this subtle, modern ear-piercing idea as the ultimate inspiration. Itty-bitty gold hoops and an even smaller earring are the way to go.
