The Duchess of Sussex's jewellery is one of our favourite things about her style.

She's worn countless beautiful pieces over the last couple of years, and introduced us to plenty of new and affordable names we haven't heard of before. From Missoma, Catbird and Shaun Leane to Pippa Small, Jessica McCormack and Birks, she's always keeping us on our toes!

The gold pendant necklace she's wearing here is by one of her new favourites, Edge of Ember, and we love the coin design. The 'Visionary' necklace's blue topaz evil eye protects from negative energy so click (right) for good vibes only.

At the launch of the collection, Meghan's best friend and designer Misha Nonoo credited the royal with coming up with the idea for the project herself.

Smart Works have a team of 300 trained volunteers and helps long-term unemployed and vulnerable women regain the skills, confidence and tools to succeed at job interviews, return to employment and transform their lives.

 Despite stepping back from royal duties alongside Prince Harry, 35, last month, Meghan has been permitted to maintain her patronages.

The royal, who continues to be patronage of the organisation despite stepping back from royal duty, launched her clothing collection with the organisation in September in London
