The ring initially had a plain, gold band crafted by Cleave & Company, the late Queen Elizabeth’s regular jeweller – but in 2019, Meghan refreshed the design by replacing it with a thin, micro-pavé band instead, coinciding with both the couple’s first wedding anniversary and the birth of their son, Prince Archie. At this point, Meghan also added an eternity ring to her stack, adorned with some very symbolic gems hidden on the underside: her birthstone (peridot) as well as the birthstones of Prince Harry (emerald) and Prince Archie (sapphire). As engagement ring specialist Neil Dutta told Country & Town House: ‘The addition of the pavé diamonds could be seen as representing the many facets of their new life together, while the hidden birthstones speak to the private, family-focused side of their relationship.’

In 2022’s Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie claimed it was the Duke of Sussex who had made the first alterations to Meghan’s ring. In the biography, Lorraine Schwartz told the author, ‘He’s the loveliest person ever. So romantic, so thoughtful.’ Scobie added, ‘(So much so that Harry also thought to have Lorraine resize and reset Meghan’s engagement ring with a new diamond band.)’
