The special meaning behind Duchess Meghan’s jewellery

Duchess Meghan has continued to impress royal fans with her chic fashion choices.

And for the World Elephant Day this year, she debuted a never-before-seen piece of jewellery with significant meaning in a throwback post on Instagram.

To mark the special day, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared pictures from their trip to Botswana in 2017. During their travel, the royal couple joined Dr Mike Chase of Elephants Without Borders in the organisation’s effort to fit 25 elephants with satellite navigation collars for tracking purposes.

In one of the photos, the Duchess could be seen wearing one of her favourite rings – the 14-carat rose-gold Hamsa Ring from Kismet by Milka – on her right hand and a new bracelet on her left wrist.

According to Hello, the silver steel accessory is an elephant hair bracelet, a piece known in Africa for bringing luck. It is believed that the wearer of this bracelet will be blessed with health, prosperity, happiness and love.

While the jewellery was traditionally made from elephant hair, it is made from different materials in recent years, such as wire and beads.
