Maxwell Stone said:"Aquamarine is one of the most visually beautiful gemstones. With an enchanting pale blue colour, the ring was a perfect addition to Meghan's Ripple of Hope Gala outfit and carries a great deal of sentiment with it - not only did it belong to Meghan's late mother in law, Princess Diana, but the Duchess wore it as her 'something blue' on her wedding day in 2018.

"While the ring is no doubt priceless, if it were available to buy, it would be worth around £85,000."There is also a poignant story behind the ring. Princess Diana received the eye-catching aquamarine from her friend, Lucia Flecha de Lima, and it was created into a ring by Asprey in 1996. Some 20 years later, in April 2017, Lucia also passed away. The wife of a former ambassador of Brazil to the UK, she had been a trusted friend of Diana in the early 1990s.
