Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been making headlines once again, this time for her engagement ring. The stunning piece of jewelry, designed by Prince Harry, mysteriously disappeared from her finger for several months. Fans speculated about its whereabouts, but now we know the reason behind its absence.
The Missing Ring
Last year, Meghan Markle stopped wearing her engagement ring, leaving fans puzzled. Reports suggested that the ring was undergoing repairs, but the Duchess remained tight-lipped about the situation. However, she recently stepped out wearing the dazzling ring at the Bob Marley: One Love film premiere alongside Prince Harry.
Alterations and Costs
Jewelry expert Tony French sheds light on the mystery. According to him, Meghan’s engagement ring underwent alterations during its absence. “Prince Harry is said to have designed the ring with a center cushion-cut diamond complemented by two smaller stones on either side,” explains French. “More recently, Meghan’s engagement ring appears to have undergone a few changes.”
The alterations include replacing the yellow gold shank of the ring with a sleek diamond-studded band. Additionally, the central stone has reportedly changed. French estimates that these modifications could have cost Meghan between £75 and £250, depending on the number of adjustments required and their complexity. The process typically takes a few hours to a few days.
Bigger and Better?
Fans noticed that the ring looked larger than usual when Meghan wore it during her recent visit to Florida with Prince Harry. Could these alterations be responsible for the change in appearance? French believes so, suggesting that the cost of resizing and updating the ring was relatively affordable.
Conclusion
While Meghan Markle’s engagement ring may have gone missing for a while, its reappearance has sparked curiosity and admiration. Prince Harry’s thoughtful design, combined with Meghan’s personal touches, continues to captivate the public. As the Duchess confidently wears her updated ring, it serves as a symbol of their enduring love.
