5 Exquisite Pieces of Jewelry That Are a Fitting Homage to Princess Diana From Meghan Markle
The Harry & Meghan documentary on Netflix has once again given merit to the argument as to whether or not Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are giving voice to the tale of discrimination inside the castle that Princess Diana could never tell. But, keeping the details of the drama aside, one thing that Princess Diana would have bonded over with her daughters-in-law, had we had the fortune of seeing her live longer, is their impeccable taste in jewelry. And as Prince Harry said, “Mother and Meghan would be best friends“.
Furthermore, there is no denying that the Royals make a fashion statement whenever they step out. Of course, except for Kate Middleton’s green screen dress and the countless times Markle’s outfit choices were deemed improper. However, her recent appearance at the prestigious Ripple of Hope Award, where she sported Princess Diana’s unexplainably incredible Asprey Aquamarine ring had no naysayers. Not just because the ring is the stuff of fairytales but also because it took us back to Princess Diana’s will.

For the unversed, the People’s Princess wrote in her will, “I would like you to allocate all my jewelry to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it.” Hence, numerous times we have seen both Kate Middleton but mostly Meghan Markle wearing Princess Diana’s jewelry. And while Meghan Markle may never invite us personally to witness the collection of gorgeous jewelry that she has inherited from her mother-in-law, we have listed them down for you. And the designs are every bit mouth-watering or eye-watering in this case, as you imagined they would be.
Meghan Markle and her love for Princess Diana’s Asprey Aquamarine Ring
There are some milestones in life that always stay dear to the heart. And in the case of Meghan Markle, this milestone was marrying Prince Harry, then third in line to the throne of Britain. To commemorate this special day, Meghan Markle wore Lady Diana’s beautiful aquamarine ring at her reception.
Harry and Meghan’s wedding incorporated various ways of paying tribute to his late mother, and the blue diamond ring was just the diamond that the crown needed. While looking at the ring it is as evident as the blue sky that it’s made of exquisite diamond, the details will have your mouth gaping. The Asprey aquamarine ring has a very intriguing ring to it. It is said that Princess Diana had the blue diamond ring famously commissioned after her divorce.
The former princess was keen on diamonds and she saw her freshly bared ring finger not as a misfortune but as an opportunity to grace it with something even more beautiful. Iconic is the word. Furthermore, the ring is made of 24-carat gold and the big blue diamond is surrounded by other smaller diamonds. The price of the ring is said to be around 75,000 $ which is surprisingly less for the beauty that it sells.
The iconic Cartier Tennis Bracelet
The Cartier Tennis Bracelet is not just on your wishlist but also on Princess Diana and Meghan Markle’s hands. This famous bracelet has made more appearances public appearances than the now Queen Consort of the United Kingdom ever has.
The simple yet majestic Tennis bracelet adorned Diana Spencer’s hands on various occasions. And it is also a part of one of Diana’s most talked about looks i.e at the American Red Cross Gala in 1997. Meghan Markle was first seen wearing it in Fiji in 2018. The Suit actress has since then worn it on many occasions.
The Cartier Tank Francaise watch keeps Meghan Markle on time
As Clarisse Renaldi, the former Queen of Genoivia famously said “A queen is never late. Everyone else is simply early“. Now whether she happened to be wearing a Cartier Tank Francaise watch worth 20,246 US Dollars is unclear.
But in the case of Dina Spencer and Meghan Markle, the chances are high. One of Diana’s jewelry most worn by Meghan Markle is the Cartier Tank Franchise watch. The gold-toned watch has stolen the show most recently during the Invictus Game in Dusseldorf.
The Royals also love Butterfly Earrings
The trendiest pieces of jewelry this season apart from statement bracelets were definitely butterfly earrings. And looks like the Royals were onto this trend long ago. One of the most astonishing pieces of jewelry adorned by Princess Diana was her butterfly earring.
And Meghan Markle paid tribute to her mother-in-law by wearing them on her first appearance after announcing she was pregnant with Archie in 2018. Much like the Aquamarine ring, the earrings also feature a pair of blue stones.
