Diana’s cocktail ring

What is Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s birth plan?
This ring featuring a massive light blue diamond, and set on a white and yellow gold band, was first worn by Princess Diana in 1997 when she attended an auction of her own wardrobe at Christie’s.
The Princess of Wales asked Asprey to make the piece using a stone gifted to her by her friend Lucia Flecha de Lima. Harry then gave Meghan the piece – believed to be 30 carats and worth over US$140,000 – and she first wore it to attend her second reception hosted at Frogmore House.

The duchess then wore the ring to attend a reception and dinner hosted by King Tupou VI and Queen Nanasipau’u of Tonga.

Meghan opted to wear these earrings for the first time in Sydney, Australia, soon after announcing her pregnancy, but has never worn them with the matching necklace.
