Meghan Markle Spends $765K On Jewelry, Collection More Extensive Than Kate Middleton’s

Meghan Markle reportedly spends over half a million for her extensive jewelry collection.

According to Lauren Clark of The Sun, the Duchess of Sussex’s jewelry collection is estimated to have cost her a staggering $765,000. During the Trooping the Colour, Markle was seen with an eternity ring that was believed to be a present from Prince Harry for their first wedding anniversary.

The diamond band is believed to have cost $5,544. It was reportedly created by Harry Collins, the Queen’s personal jeweler.

Markle’s massive jewelry collection is reportedly 91 pieces in total. This means it is more extensive compared to her sister-in-law Kate Middleton’s collection. The former “Suits” star has seven necklaces, 23 bracelets, 26 rings and 35 pair of earrings.

The Duchess of Cambridge only owns 60 pieces and this already includes Princess Diana’s sapphire engagement ring that’s worth an estimate of $382,000.

Markle received a number of items from Princess Diana’s collection. One of the most expensive items in her collection is the $95,000 aquamarine ring she wore on her wedding evening reception. She paired it with the $76,000 18-carat gold Cartier drop earrings that feature 19 round diamonds and 10 rectangular stones. During the couple’s royal tour in Australia, the Duchess of Sussex was seen wearing the late Princess of Wales’ $2,931 butterfly earrings and a gold bracelet after she announced her pregnancy.

Markle also received some items from the Queen’s vault. Queen Elizabeth II reportedly gifted her a set of $5,448 pearl and diamond earrings. She has already worn them three times. She used them during the official visit to Cheshire with the Queen and during her arrival to Fiji last year.

“The Royal Family is one of the best examples of how diamond jewellery can stand the test of time, be passed down from generation to generation, and only grows in emotional and intrinsic value over the year,” Grant Mobley, a jeweler, explained.

In related news, Prince Harry reportedly sidelined anybody who voiced reservations about Markle including his closest friends and even brother, Prince William. There were rumors that Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s sons had a falling-out after the Duke of Cambridge told his younger brother to slow down with his romance with Markle because they didn’t know her.
