When you’re working towards building a little business, you never expect that something like that is going to happen.” “I suppose it was such a crazy thing to happen, and very much the stars aligning. The Duchess of Cambridge wearing her All the Falling Stars necklace at the University of Derby. The jewelry brand is now so successful that O’Brien quit her main job to pursue All the Falling Stars full-time. The necklace’s personalization makes it even more popular, as customers can engrave letters on each of the small discs. Both the earrings and necklace that the Duchess wore are still her strongest sellers, especially since Kate has worn the jewelry a few times over. After, she was getting orders from as far as Australia and Malaysia. Prior to the Duchess wearing her jewelry, O’Brien had only sold two pieces outside of Ireland. Really that’s the only way to describe it-a lot of panic and ‘how am I going to do this?’ And roping in family and friends for lots of different tasks,” O’Brien tells T&C. She soon had more than 500 orders from around the world, before she had to shut down her website, selling out her inventory. O’Brien made the jewelry part-time, alongside her day job as a speech pathologist. However, months later, the Duchess of Cambridge wore the monogrammed necklace to a September 2020 event in Battersea Park, London, and the orders started flooding in. The physiotherapist received a thank you note from Kensington Palace, and O’Brien thought that would be the end of the road. O’Brien, the designer and creator of the jewelry, custom-made the necklace, featuring initials of all three of the Cambridge children. Prior to vacating the room, that physiotherapist decided to leave a small gift for Kate- a pair of earrings and necklace from small Irish brand, All the Falling Stars. When the Duchess of Cambridge visited Galway, Ireland in March 2020, she changed outfits in a physiotherapist’s office. A necklace changed Aisling O’Brien’s life.
