If you were ending the last ever solo engagement on behalf of one of the world's most famous monarchies in the midst of a relentless and often cruel media barrage of scrutiny, you might find yourself looking for a little luck, don't you think?" Well, Meghan Markle may have found exactly that - in the form of highly coveted earrings.

According to the designer's website, the North Star signifies "good luck, health, faith, success, and protection from evil among many other things."

Let's be honest here: maybe Princess Meghan chose these earrings just because they are gorgeous and she doesn't care about their good luck qualities at all (as an avid collector of Huggy Hoops and lifelong pessimist, I know better). Whether you're looking for good luck or updating your earring stack with sparkly ones, if you too have a hankering for these earrings, you'd better hurry: they're still available for 450 pounds, but stock is already running low. Megan Effect!
