Sophie Countess of Wessex's £35k engagement ring from Edward has subtle 'romantic' meaning

“Traditionally the three central diamonds are said to represent the couple’s past, present and future, making it a very romantic and meaningful choice of design.”

The Trilogy style design was copied by Prince Harry when he designed an engagement ring for Meghan Markle, Charlotte explained.

She said the style of ring has increased in popularity which could be due to it’s royal link.

The expert added: “Meghan Markle’s engagement ring, given to her by Prince Harry, is made up of a central round brilliant diamond and flanked by cushion cut diamonds, and it has helped to revive the desire for the Trilogy look.

“The growing popularity of the Trilogy engagement ring has been a distinctly growing trend for 2020 which I believe will continue to be a popular choice in 2021.”

Just months after Sophie and Prince Edward’s engagement was announced, their wedding took place at Windsor Castle.
