Avid observers of the royal family have most likely seen Meghan Markle saunter about while wearing various jewelry pieces, usually from a single designer based out of Los Angeles, California. Since she began her career as a jewelry designer 18 years ago, Adina Reyter's pieces have been adorned by many a celebrity.

"As women, you want to get the perfect pair of jeans where you turn around, your tush looks great, and you feel good wearing them. Our jewelry should make you feel that good.”
