Not only does the ring that that Prince William gave to his now-wife, Kate Middleton, cost a fortune, it also holds special meaning to him. You see, the ring previously belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. The piece features a 12-carat sapphire surrounded by diamonds, with a band made from 18K white gold. While, in 1981, when produced, the ring cost $37,000, it’s now valued at $400,000.
With Diana’s engagement ring already gone to Kate, Prince Harry needed to purchase a custom ring for Meghan Markle. However, it has many features that remind him and his bride of Princess Diana. It also features a white gold band, while the side diamonds come from Diana’s private collection. Meanwhile, the center stone hails from Botswana, where the two fell in love. According to jewelry experts, Meghan Markle’s ring is valued at a whopping $350,000!
