ETS OF THE ROYAL JEWELS


SECRETS OF THE^ ROY


Beatrice,


Princess of York
For her engagement to Edoardo
Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice
was given a diamond and platinum
ring designed by UK-based
jewellery designer Shaun Leane.
It features a 3.5-carat round-cut
diamond, edged by diamond
shoulders with a semi-pave setting.

Meghan, Duchess


of Sussex
Meghan received a re-set ring, which
included a centre diamond. The
stunning cushion-cut diamond is said
to be around five carats and came
from Botswana, a country close to
the hearts of both Prince Harry and
Meghan, while the side stones were
taken from the personal va lt of
Diana, Princess of Wales.

Sarah Ferguson,


Duchess of York
Despite reportedly already securing
his bride-to-be an emerald ring,
Andrew, Prince of York, is said to
have swapped his choice for a ruby,
which Sarah was determined to
have. She eventually chose an oval
Burmese ruby surrounded by 10
pointed diamonds from Garrard.

Princess Margaret,


Countess of


Snowdon
Princess Margaret accepted a
dazzling ruby ring from Antony
Armstrong-Jones, which was
surrounded by diamonds to make
it look like a rosebud. It’s
believed her husband’s vision was
a nod to her middle name, Rose.

Wallis Simpson,


To match her bold personality, the
duchess was given a massive 20-carat
Colombian emerald designed by
Cartier in a diamond-leaf setting from
her husband, the controversial Duke
of Windsor, who famously abdicated
the throne. The ring was inscribed,
“We are ours now 27.X.36.”
