Personalized for the former first lady by Jamaica-born, L.A.-based jewelry designer Chari Cuthbert, the necklace quickly became the talk of the internet, so much so that during the last hour of the convention, it was the top-trending search on US Google, according to CNN. Cuthbert’s brand, BYCHARI, which launched in 2012, specializes in custom-made pieces designed using top-grade materials. According to her website, Cuthbert’s creations are designed to uplift women, making them a favorite to many a powerful woman, from former Teen Vogue EIC Elaine Welteroth, who in 2016 became both the youngest and the first Black woman ever to hold the position in Condé Nast’s history, to now, Michelle Obama.
