It seems like little Archie Harrison holds a special place close to his mom Meghan Markle's heart. Just a day after stepping out for the 2019 Wimbledon Tennis Championships on July 4, eagle-eyed fans noticed something new on the Duchess of Sussex—a dainty gold necklace featuring the initial "A" for Archie. This little detail didn’t go unnoticed, and it quickly became a topic of conversation online.
After photos of Meghan wearing the delicate 18-karat solid gold necklace from Verse, a small jewelry brand based in Australia, hit the internet, jeweler Emma Swann couldn’t hide her excitement about the royal’s public declaration of love. "I was so overwhelmed to see Meghan wearing it. I’m still in shock!" she told People. "She looked absolutely stunning, and I love her relaxed sense of style. There's something about her that women can really relate to—it’s refreshing."
Emma Swann: The Mind Behind the Necklace
Emma Swann, the British-born jeweler who’s been running a small workshop in Sydney for over a decade, has always been a fan of Meghan's style. She first tried to draw attention to her jewelry when a friend working alongside Meghan and Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Sydney offered to pass on a gift. Emma revealed that she initially sent the royal couple a gold necklace with the initials "H" and "M," which has yet to be seen in public.

When baby Archie was born on May 6, Emma decided to send another package, this time with an initial "A" charm and a heartfelt note of congratulations. "I explained how each necklace is made to order, with no wastage of gold, and gave a little background about my small company," she added. "I never expected to hear back or for her to wear it! It was such a pleasant surprise."
The Impact of Meghan's Choice
Even though Emma is having trouble keeping the $410 necklace in stock, she admits that designing a piece for such a stylish and influential royal mom is an incredible honor. "It’s had a nice effect on online sales, but for me, it's more about the fact that she likes it enough to wear it. It’s a beautiful form of recognition, and it’s fantastic that she champions small brands like mine," Emma gushed. "It feels really inclusive and heartwarming."
