Meghan Markle’s Aquamarine Ring From Diana
When Meghan Markle changed into her second dress after the royal wedding ceremony in 2018 — a sleek Stella McCartney gown — one detail stood out even more than the dress: a stunning, oversized aquamarine ring glowing on her right hand.
This wasn’t just a fashion statement. It was a deeply meaningful tribute.
The emerald-cut aquamarine ring once belonged to Princess Diana, Meghan's late mother-in-law, who was frequently seen wearing it at royal engagements after her divorce from Prince Charles. It was made in the 1990s by British jeweler Asprey, featuring a 30-carat aquamarine stone flanked by small diamonds and set in 24k yellow gold.
Wearing the ring was Meghan’s way of honoring Diana’s legacy on her special day — a symbolic gesture that was widely praised by royal watchers and fashion critics alike. The press quickly identified the ring as Diana’s, with outlets like Harper’s Bazaar, People, and The Telegraph highlighting the historic moment.
What made the moment even more powerful was that Prince Harry reportedly gifted the ring to Meghan himself, ensuring his mother’s presence was felt during their wedding celebration. The ring complemented her minimalist look while adding a burst of color and sentimentality.
Since then, Meghan has worn the ring on a few more occasions, making it part of her modern royal signature. It’s widely considered one of the most valuable and meaningful pieces in her collection.
The story of Diana’s aquamarine ring is not just one of royalty — it’s a story of love, remembrance, and how heirloom jewelry can carry legacy through generations. Meghan transformed the piece from a royal artifact into a modern icon of personal expression, cementing its place in both royal and fashion history.
