Meghan Markle’s Pear‑Shaped Diamond Draws Fresh Scrutiny

A close-up shared on the Duchess’s As Ever Instagram has prompted new jeweler estimates and renewed questions about the ring’s origin without any official confirmation.

Overview

  • A close-up posted to the As Ever Instagram account this week showed the pear‑shaped stone on Meghan Markle’s right ring finger and sparked a new round of media attention.
  • Several jewelers visually estimated the center stone at roughly 4 to 6 carats and gave tentative six‑figure price ranges that vary greatly if the diamond is lab‑grown or natural.
  • The piece was first publicly noted at the One805 LIVE event in September 2025 and has reappeared at Paris Fashion Week and the NBA All‑Star Game since then.
  • No designer or maker has been identified and requests to Meghan or Prince Harry’s office for confirmation have not been answered.
  • Speculation that the stone may be linked to Princess Diana’s jewelry is unverified and experts note that right‑hand rings are commonly worn as personal statements rather than formal engagement symbols.
