Harry had presented the ring to Meghan during their engagement in 2017. This remarkable piece boasts a magnificent three-carat diamond from Botswana, flanked by two diamonds from the late Princess Diana's collection. The centerpiece, a breathtaking stone, exhibits exceptional quality, with impeccable clarity and captivating color, according to experts. After more than 18 months, Meghan decided to enhance the ring by replacing its original yellow gold band with a delicate diamond-studded one. Remarkably, this ring has emerged as the most popular royal engagement ring, as per a recent study.
Maxwell Stone, the creative director at Steven Stone Jewelers, commented, "Taking into account that the three to four-carat center stone is of extremely high quality, with incredible color and clarity, I estimate the ring is worth £120,000."
Prince Harry also gifted Meghan a wedding ring made of Welsh gold, a tradition in the Royal Family that dates back to 1923 when it was started by the Queen Mother. The ring, crafted by Cleave and Company, the prestigious jewelry company responsible for creating Meghan's famous three-stone diamond engagement ring, holds an estimated value of £10,000. Mr. Stone explained that the choice of Welsh gold for royal weddings symbolizes purity and longevity in marriage.
During the Trooping the Colour Gala in 2019, the Duchess of Sussex debuted her own eternity ring. This ring, usually worn alongside the wedding and engagement rings, holds special significance as it was a heartfelt gift from Harry on their first wedding anniversary. What makes it even more meaningful is that the eternity ring pays tribute to their family in a unique way. Mr. Stone stated, "Megan's Di and eternity ring exudes glamour by featuring aquamarines, emeralds, and rubies, which represent Meghan, Harry, and Archie's birthstones." Combining their family's birthstones adds a sentimental touch to the ring. Each birthstone carries its own symbolism and meaning, with sapphires believed to provide protection for loved ones, peridots associated with empowerment, and emeralds symbolizing renewal and affection, embodying the deep bond shared within a family. The estimated worth of the eternity ring is £80,000.
Meghan Markle's jewelry collection showcases not only stunning craftsmanship but also the sentimental value and thoughtfulness behind each piece. These exquisite adornments hold a significant place in the Duchess of Sussex's heart, representing cherished moments and the profound connections within her family.
