Prince Harry & Meghan Markle are engaged!

[SimoneDi]

Another royal wedding is just around the corner! Here is the first look at her engagement ring. I absolutely love the design! Possibly, because it looks almost identical to my new ring (which I am yet to post)


Per ABC news: "The ring's center stone hails from Botswana, a country with personal significance for the couple, and is flanked by two diamonds from the personal collection of Prince Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana." (article here: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment...ngagement-ring-prince-harry/story?id=51138969)

Congrats to the new royal couple!

I had read the stones were taken from one of his moms brooches

I like that the ring is new, but incorporates diamonds that belonged to Diana.

Possible, I am not sure if we will know for sure, but it is nice that he found a way to incorporate some of Princess Diana's old jewels.

THat is soooo pretty!! What is the center stone? Looks like some kind of cushion shape. So the center stone is new and only the sides are from Diana’s jewelry?

Exciting...I do like that they incorporated stones that are important to them.

Isn't it so beautiful! I do think that it is some sort of a cushion cut. not many photos yet, but here is a new one:

Gorgeous ring and a gorgeous couple
And yes, the center is new and from Botswana and the side stones are from Diana's collection.

Me too! I adored Will & Catherine's love story/wedding But I love Meghan and I am so happy that Harry followed his heart when choosing her!

Another close up I saw made the center look like a radiant, which is one of my least favorite diamonds, but I do think the three stone is lovely especially with side stones from his mother. I love royal weddings and will look forward to this one!

 

[metall]

Oooohhhhh so pretty and such a sweet story behind the ring!

@SimoneDi can't wait to see your new rings debute!

 

[AprilBaby]

Such a beautiful ring! It will be the next popular style for 2018!

I also thought that for a min, but I hope that it is the double prongs that give the illusion, because the stone looks rounded in other photos..not sure, tbd I guess. It is still a beautiful ring for a beautiful lady

I also love pretty much everything about this engagement and thank you - my new ring will be presented soon!

 

[SimoneDi]

Yep, exactly what I thought: "here come the three stone e-rings again" ..just when I considered that mine was going to be less popular in this halo world

My instant thought too, a radiant set by the royal jeweler Cleave and Co?!?!?

Supposedly valued at up to $350k in an article I read today

Yep, I doubt it I read in another article that it is a cushion, but then again, I have seen reporters call a radiant cut "princess" so anything is to be expected.
