Shiffon Co.’s name is a nod to that desire to change things. It’s a play on “chiffon,”Yarlagadda’s mother loves this fabric, but it also symbolizes the phrase “shift is on.” This commitment to changing things is reflected in the company’s mission to “create the shift for women’s equality,” Yarlagadda explained.
Jewelry Designer Says That Rings Represents ‘Pinky Promise To…Support Women’
The spiral pinky ring that Markle wears is one of the first pieces of jewelry Yarlagadda designed, and there’s a special meaning behind it. The ring’s unique spiral design came about when the jewelry designer was looking for a ring, but was unsure of what size she would wear. The spiral design makes the ring adjustable, so the wearer doesn’t need to know their exact ring size before purchasing.
“The first thing we created was this adjustable pinky ring that represented this pinky promise to pay it forward and support women,” Yarlagadda Explained. The company is committed to paying it forward.

“We really instilled [mentorship] in the ring because 50% of profits are funding seed grants for female founders for companies that empower women,” Yarlagadda said. Shiffon Co. just launched a second ring.
This new ring will donate 19.72% of the profits to the company’s Women in Sports Investment fund, in honor of the 50th anniversary of Title IX, which was passed in 1972. Markle isn’t the only big name who has supported Shiffon Co. jewelry. Michelle Obama, Malala Itsafzai and Hailey Bieber are just a few of the other prominent women who have embraced the jewelry line.
It makes perfect sense that Markle would wear the special spiral ring, as she has frequently spoken about the need to close the wage gap and discussed women’s issues in the workplace. Her ongoing dedication to this area is evident in the spiral ring.
