Zofia Day founder Lisette Polny told PEOPLE Markle wanted to give Benita Litt, Jessica Mulroney and her other friends a special memento to remember the wedding.
“It’s an overwhelming honor to be part of history and for my pieces to be given as a keepsake for this momentous occasion,” Polny said.
Polny called the bracelet a “really simple, elegant piece that’s just very true to her personal style.”
Polny also created two special bespoke necklaces for Litt’s daughters Rylan and Remi. The first, the Windsor Hear Pendant Necklace, is available for $675, while the Charlotte Bow Necklace is $950.
“I have always wanted to create a petite line, and my daughter loves to wear my designs,” Polny told PEOPLE. “So I decided to make Benita’s girls some special pieces for their special day.”
Polny also praised Markle’s Givenchy wedding dress, saying Markle “captured the true essence of classic beauty.”
Markle is a fan of Polny’s work, famously wearing Zofia Day’s Dash Ear Studs in a cover photo for Vanity Fair last year. She was also seen a Bar Stack Ring, which sells for $715.
