THE Duchess of Sussex has proved the Meghan Markle effect is still a powerful force after budget-friendly rings she wore have prompted over 20,000 sales.

The royal mum, 38, was pictured wearing New York brand Catbird’s half-millimeter Threadbare ring, and millennials have rushed in their droves to snap it up.

Meghan first raved about her love for the independent Brooklyn-based jewellery brand when she wrote on her now-defunct lifestyle website The Tig.

Since dating Prince Harry, she has worn the ethically-made ring in public on a number of occasions, causing a huge boost in sales.

Catbird founder Rony Vardi said that the 40 thin stackable ring has flown off shelves thanks to its royal fan.

The product page on the website says: PS – This ring is worn everyday by a certain American turned princess with the initials M.M.!

It was first mentioned on The Tig in 2015 but a newly-engaged Meghan also wore the rings at the Anzac Day commemorations in London in 2018.

She also wore then for a visit to a radio station for her second official appearance, and at an Invictus Games event in Sydney months later.

The ring description says: Thin as a whisper… shiny as flaxen hair. Barely there… glimmering and delicate. Slightly hammered, solid 14k gold.

It is also available in rose gold and available in a number of sizes.

The gold jewellery item is said to be made by hands that are employed under ethical standards in New York, and many items from the line are crafted from recycled gold and diamonds.

Rony, whose boutique has become a multi-million dollar brand over the years, added toWomen’s Wear Daily: Its so easy to wear and effortless. You can just leave it on, its not fussy.

Its a tiny, easy spark of gold and luxury, its a lovely treat you can have yourself thats not super flashy and feels personal to you.
