Just Now: Meghan Markle’s Favorite Jewelry and the Stories Behind Her Precious Pieces: Princess Diana Heirlooms, Upgraded Engagement Ring and More

Markle was first seen wearing Princess Diana’s aquamarine ring on her wedding day, May 19, 2018. The Duchess paired her “something blue” with a white Stella McCartney gown at her reception.

She’s since worn the massive bauble (which is estimated to weigh anywhere from 13 to 30 carats) on multiple occasions, including during a royal tour of Tonga in 2018.

The emerald-cut aquamarine was gifted to Diana by her friend Lucia Flecha de Lima. In 1996, Asprey mounted it onto a gold setting, placing the stone between three symmetrical rows of small solitaire diamonds.

The piece has been referred to as Diana’s “replacement” engagement ring, as she wore it on her left ring finger following her divorce from Prince Charles.

The Princess of Wales was photographed wearing the aquamarine just twice before her death, and it also came in a set that included a five-strand pearl bracelet. Today, the ring is valued at approximately $90,000.
