The story of Meghan Markle’s ring is almost as pretty as the ring itself: In 2017, Prince Harry proposed with a ring he himself designed. The ring features three diamonds: a central stone featuring a center cushion-cut diamond framed by two round diamonds from the collection of the prince’s mother, the late Princess Diana.
The ring was made by Cleave and Company, official jewelers to Queen Elizabeth II. The ring is yellow gold, which is Markle’s favorite, according to Prince Harry, and took six months to design. Following the birth of the couple’s son, Archie, it was reported that Markle “secretly” had the ring upgraded by adding pavé diamonds along the once plain gold band.
