Meghan Markle’s Missing 3-stone diamond engagement ring: Could be a fashion statement?

Meghan Markle’s Missing 3-stone diamond engagement ring: Could be a fashion statement?

Are you a fan of the British royal family? If yes, then you may have followed the story of Meghan Markle. From being an actress to being part of the royal family, Markle has shown that nothing is impossible, especially with her diamond engagement ring. 

For those who are die hard fans of this actress, you must be also shocked with her diamond engagement ring. According to sources, the engagement ring was personally designed by Prince Harry. It is a 3-stone diamond engagement ring consisting of a cushion cut diamond at the center, and 2 side diamond stones.

That ring  is the center of our blog today. Before we proceed, let me introduce myself.

Hi, I’m Mike Nekta, and as a jeweler in the industry for a long time, I can say that this beaute is simple but very elegant. It matches the image that Markle portrays. The ring shows that the stone doesn’t need to be too big, to let the wearer feel special.

Did Markle lose the ring?

Since we’re still at the topic of the engagement ring of Markle, why not also dive into the recent news that circulated. Last month, Markle appeared in the news again, not because of her life as a Duchess of Sussex. 

People have speculated that the couple is on the rocks with their marriage because of the said ring. It seems that the couple were seen in public, but Markle is not wearing the 3-stone diamond engagement ring. 

However, the Duchess has cleared the air with Page Six, and said that the ring is being fixed. Another insider has speculated that this might be due to personal preferences. As mentioned Markle has always kept her simple and elegant image. That may be the reason for this change. 

Thoughts as a jeweler

Personally, I think both reasons are possible. Many clients from Nekta New York have been claiming simple eternity bands either as a gift or for any special occasion. Considering that the engagement ring of Markle has a significant meaning behind it, it could be overwhelming to wear.

It is known that the 2 side stones are from the late Princess Diana’s jewelry collection. It is one of the aspects that made the ring heavy, both in sentiments and appeal.

Most of the couples I’ve met as a jeweler always choose to portray their personality through a ring. That’s why, some people either choose a classic one-stone ring or a ring with more stones. Both depict the sense of fashion of the wearer, and this might be the idea of Markle.

Choosing a diamond engagement ring in Nekta New York

In choosing a ring for a special day, like the engagement commitment, it is essential to know the preference of the receiver. Although, some people usually prefer the big stone rings and high carat count to make it sassy.

Here are some factors to consider when shopping and I’m here, Mike Nekta, to guide you into it: 

Diamond Shape 

The shape of the diamond is one of the most important aspects to consider when choosing an engagement ring. Round-cut diamonds are the most popular choice and offer maximum brilliance, while other shapes like princess, marquise, emerald and cushion cuts can also be stunning.

Metal

Meanwhile, the metal used in a diamond engagement ring is an important factor to consider when choosing a design. Platinum and white gold are two of the most popular options for an engagement ring. Nekta New York offers a variety of metals, including gold, silver and palladium.

Style

One of the most fun aspects of choosing an engagement ring is selecting a style that reflects your unique tastes and personality. Whether you’re looking for something classic or contemporary, Nekta New York has a wide selection of beautiful rings to choose from.

Conclusion

Gravitating to fashion preference is a good thing when it comes to a ring. Engagement rings on the other hand may be a bit difficult, especially if you are the recipient. However, that doesn’t mean that the ring is not customizable.

Just like what Markle did, you can contact your jeweler to make some changes with the ring.  In terms of size, metal, etc., don't be afraid to ask questions about the new style you're considering. Nekta New York’s  knowledgeable staff is here to help you every step of the way!

Nekta New York has everything you need to make your special day and beautiful ring even more memorable.

Nekta New York

I rarely write reviews but working with Mike has been a true pleasure! My fiancé and I flew from Austin to meet with him - and we left with the most exquisite engagement ring! His craftsmanship is impeccable and his true passion for what he does is clearly apparent…not to mention how wonderful his client service is! He sized the ring on the spot and made sure that all the documentation (and the ring) made it safely to Texas. We are now having him create the wedding band of my dreams. If you are looking for exceptional artistry, a lovely experience and a collaborative relationship to design your jewelry - look no further than Mike Nekta!

I had a fantastic experience with Mike who helped us choose our diamond. He was informative, passionate, and genuinely wanted us to be happy with our decision. His kindness and positive attitude made the process enjoyable. We don’t live in his area so he went above and beyond by texting us to keep us informed of the whole creation process. Highly recommend him!

I just got my engagement ring through Mike Nekta and I can’t even begin to say how pleased I am! The entire experience has been wonderful from start to finish. First, the uniqueness and quality of the piece itself is outstanding. The pricing was surprisingly good considering all the factors involved. But most especially, Mike’s personal level of interest in pleasing us as his clients- you rarely find that level of personal service anymore! He cared about making my dream come true. He bent over backwards to make my dream ring possible for me! He clearly deals with elites who spend far more but it didn’t matter to him, he cared just as much about my purchase. I really appreciated that. I definitely plan to shop with Mike again!

Mike is the best! I told him exactly the type of Diamond I wanted for my solitaire engagement ring and he helped my fiancé find the best diamond to not only fit his budget but one I would fall in love with! He really listens to what you like and want and really does exceed to help fit those desires in a ring. Definitely will be coming back to him for our wedding bands and all future jewelry purchases!

This is my second big purchase with Mike Nekta and as always service education quality of the purchase has been nothing but fantastic! Surprise my wife with an upgrade for our seven year anniversary, Mike Nekta came through with flying colors! This place will always be my first & last stop! I could’ve easily spent more money but Mike made sure that what I was buying was the right ring not the most expensive and that’s what I love about shopping with him.You can find a jeweler that sells you anything you want to buy but when you find a jeweler that guide you in the right direction and builds trust with the customer then you’re not only have a jeweler you have an emotional connection same as you do a friend. Thanks Mike!!!
