Get the perfect Royal engagement ring look

Meghan Markle

“Meghan’s stunning engagement ring features a classic gold band set with three dazzling diamonds. The larger central diamond is nestled between two smaller brilliant cut diamonds on the shoulders of the ring which emphasises the central piece and creates an eye-catching finish. Three stone diamond rings are a popular choice as the ring sits perfectly with a traditional wedding band and eternity band, and shows off a brilliant cut diamond to its full extent. The three stones are said to represent a couple’s past, present and future together – a romantic and meaningful gesture from the prince.

“Harry has followed in his brother’s footsteps and selected diamonds from his mother’s precious collection to create the truly intricate design – a tribute to Meghan’s unique individuality and style.

“The following 18ct Gold Diamond Three Stone Ring (£3,250) is the perfect way to re-create the look.”

Pippa Middleton

“Pippa’s ring is vintage inspired with a stunning asscher cut diamond centre stone, which is beautifully complimented by a halo of round brilliant cut diamonds. I would expect the ring to be made from platinum which is the perfect setting for showing off the breath-taking diamonds at their brilliant best.

“The following Platinum Diamond Cluster Ring(£2,750) is the perfect way to recreate Pippa’s look.”

Kate Middleton

“Kate’s iconic engagement ring holds a stunning 12 carat oval blue sapphire, which is surrounded by fourteen smaller solitaire diamonds. The sapphire and diamonds are set in a slim 18 carat gold band, which accentuates the central piece and draws the eye in to the precious stones.

Royal Engagement Sapphire ring “A family heirloom, Kate’s ring once belonged to Prince William’s mother, Princess Diana, and has incredible sentimental value to the Prince. William explained that by Kate wearing his mother’s engagement ring, Diana was with them on their wedding day.
