Meghan Markle had her engagement ring focused on the opening ceremony of the Invictus games on Saturday – apparently a minimalist approach to the jewelry she is wearing during the event currently taking place in Vancouver.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, went for restrained luxury, with the exception of her £ 120,000 engagement ring, which was central when she planted a kiss on the lips of Prince Harry while he went on the stage on the opening ceremony on Saturday evening.
That one sparkle aside, there have been no chains to see, and only a collection of subtle bracelets – albeit the cartier – and small hoop earrings.
Hidden under the sleeve of her $ 2,590 cream woolen trench coat – from one of her favorite brands, Saler, which she wore about a simple olive -green knitted dress, was her 'Tank Française' Cartier Watch.
A shot behind the scenes with singer Nelly Furtado showed the Duchess without her wedding ring, with just a Signet Pinky Ring on her left hand.
The choice of the Duchess of Minimal Jewelry has made its three carat engagement ring shine and Royal Fans could see the newest iteration of the band that has completed various transformations over the years.
Prince Harry introduced Meghan in 2017 with a cushion -cut diamond, estimated between 2.5 and 3 carat, which he had from Botswana – where the couple took their first vacation together.
Around the main stone are two smaller, round diamonds from the personal jewelry collection of Princess Diana.
The Duchess of Sussex has gone for simple luxury when it comes to the jewelry she has been worn so far at the Invictus Games, which her husband Prince Harry founded more than ten years ago. Meghan has allowed her excellent star rijn – her engagement ring of £ 120,000 – steering central

The original ring, which is estimated to be about £ 120,000, had made a normal golden band by Cleave & Company, the regular jeweler of the late Queen Elizabeth.
However, the engagement ring underwent an important transformation within less than two years.
The new design, which Meghan first presented in the troops of the color in 2019, contained a band that was considerably thinner than the original.
In 2022's Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie claimed that it was the Duke of Sussex that had made the first changes to Meghan's ring. Harry commissioned jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to change the size and reset the ring with a new diamond band.
Instead, the renewed design contained a thin, micro-pavé band and was combined with a conflict-free diamond eternity band that symbolized their growing family.
Due to their hometones at the bottom, Peridot for Meghan, Emerald for Archie and Sapphire for Harry, the Eternity Band was also made by designer of the Sterren Lorraine Schwartz.
In 2022 there was further speculation that Meghan changed the ring for the second time when she attended the Invictus games in The Hague, and it seemed that she had added extra diamonds to the setting around the central diamond.

Fast forward to 2023, and the ring was remarkably absent for a number of performances on the Invictus games, reportedly due to repairs for a loose stone.
But for this year's games, the rings of Meghan are again central.
The Duchess showed them while she kissed Harry between the crowd with the crowd during the opening ceremony of the competitions that Katy Perry and Nelly Furtardo saw.
She also enthusiastically shook her pom-poms while she put a hand on Harry before she pulled her phone to film the crowd, smiling and smiling as she sweated the atmosphere.
The nine -day sporting event – made by Harry in 2014 for wounded, wounded and sick soldiers and women – will come together more than 500 competitors from 23 countries.
This year's games will be winter sports for the first time.
The games were previously held in London in 2014, in 2016 in Orlando, Toronto in 2017, Sydney in 2018, The Hague in 2022 and Dusseldorf in 2023.
Prince Harry went on stage to talk about his 'holy obligation' to do everything he can do to help military veterans as he was welcome from a hero during the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games.

While his wife Meghan looked at the stands admiringly, he said that those who had gathered in Vancouver were there in a 'spirit of unity', while in parts of the world there were divisions and difficulty.
Harry said to the crowd: 'In the moment of difficulty and division in many parts of the world, we collect here in Vancouver in a spirit of unity. We represent 23 countries.
'Speak many different languages and reflect the full width of the religions and religions of the world.
'For all the differences, here at the Invictus games we are based on mutual respect, fiercely competitive, but believe in each other. Support each other. And root for each other.
'The games were born more than ten years ago, from a promise that I made myself.
'A promise to maintain my obligation – a sacred obligation after my own decade and privilege of military service – to do what I could do to help my fellow brothers and sisters heal and defend everything we stand for.
'In the past decade, I have lost count of the times we have heard you say that the Invictus games have saved you. I do not agree respectfully. Invictus did not save you. You saved yourself. '
