Get that Markle sparkle and support a good cause, too. <\/p>\n

Meghan Markle was spotted wearing two diamond pinky rings during her trip to New York this week \u2014 as well as at last month’s Trooping the Color and the Invictus Games in April \u2014 and it turns out the piece has a special meaning that ties into the spirit of women’s empowerment in sports. <\/p>\n

The \u201c1972 Tennis Pinky Ring\u201d from New York-based jewelry brand Shiffon was designed to honor the 50th anniversary of Title IX \u2014 which made gender equity in education a civil right and paved the way for women’s equality in sports. <\/p>\n

In order to further opportunities for women in the field, 19.72 percent of profits from the soon-to-be-launched ring will go toward Shiffon’s Women in Sports Investment Fund.<\/p>\n

The \u201c1972 Tennis\u201d pinky ring was inspired by the iconic tennis bracelet design made popular by Chris Evert in the 1970s.<\/figcaption>

The diamond ring is an updated version of the spiral-design 14k gold \u201cDuet\u201d style ($595) the Duchess of Sussex wore on the cover of Time last year, and the brand hosted a special sneak preview of its new tennis collection at The Centrale in Midtown Manhattan Monday night. <\/p>\n

Shilpa Yarlagadda, who launched Shiffon from her Harvard dorm room in 2017, told guests at the event \u2014 including Olympic gold medal-winning tennis player Bethanie Mattek-Sands, \u201cDear Evan Hansen\u201d star Laura Dreyfuss, model Ashika Pratt, and Minnie Mills of \u201cThe Summer I Turned Pretty\u201d \u2014 that proceeds from her brand’s jewels are now supporting 12 female-founded companies. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe designed the Shiffon Co. ‘Duet’ pinky ring to represent the pinky promise to pay it forward to support women \u2014 and so many of the women here have been our mentors and created the energy of the ring, which donates 50 percent of the profits to fund seed investments for female founders,\u201d she said, addressing the crowd of well-heeled guests. <\/p>\n

Adding that tennis was the first sport to offer equal pay to men and women, shared in Yarlagadda her excitement about the new tennis collection \u2014 which will eventually include other pieces alongside the ring \u2014 with \u201c19.72 percent of the profits going to the first Women In Sports Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new ring, which is available for pre-order now, is offered in both 14k and 18k white, rose or yellow gold and is priced from $2,580 to $2,800. <\/p>\n

As a longtime supporter of women’s rights, the duchess is a natural fit to wear the brand, which has a mission to \u201cfinancially empower a million women across the globe by 2025.\u201d <\/p>\n

Markle isn’t the only celebrity fan of Shiffon; Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman, Hailey Bieber, Serena Williams, Emma Watson, Mandy Moore, Malala Yousafzai, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and more have sported the \u201cDuet\u201d ring or the brand’s hoop earrings, which were launched in collaboration with Obama’s When We All Vote initiative. <\/p>\n
