Is Prince Harry's Ex's Ring More Expensive Than Meghan Markle's?

Cressida Bonas got engaged to her long-term boyfriend Harry Wentworth-Stanley. Bonas was previously dating Prince Harry, and comparisons are now being drawn between her engagement ring and the one Meghan Markle got when she got engaged.

Wentworth-Stanley proposed to his model and actress girlfriend in a field in Nantucket, Massachusetts. He shared a picture of the two of them after the engagement on Instagram, and also gave everyone a glimpse of Bonas’ beautiful engagement ring.

The ring has a diamond centre that is surrounded by rubies, and then there is another layer of diamonds. The design of the classic ring prompted admiration from people who commented on the social media post.

How much would a ring like this cost? Celebrities rarely talk about the value of their engagement ring, but there are jewelers who are able to estimate the price. One jeweler suggested the cost of the ring to be above £15,000 (about US$18,250), Xposé reported. Another jeweller put the price between £30,000 and £37,000 (US$36500 to US$45000). The actual price could be much because it depends on quality of the diamonds.

Bonas and Prince Harry were dating between 2012 and 2014. The two of them split, and it is said to be an amicable breakup.

Prince Harry married Markle last year. The two of them are currently on a vacation, while the Royal’s ex announced her engagement.

The comparisons have already started, and the one question people have is the price of the two engagement rings. The official price of Markle’s ring has not been revealed, so fans only have the estimates by jewelers to rely on.

Markle’s engagement ring was designed by Prince Harry himself. It is a tribute to his late mother Princess Diana. This makes it difficult for jewelers to estimate the price. Add to this the fact that the ring has diamonds that Princess Diana wore, which makes the ring priceless, according to some experts. While the price of the whole ring is difficult to estimate, experts feel that the diamonds in it could retail for up to $350,000.
