Princess Eugenie's Engagement Ring Details

A gorgeous oval-cut padparadscha sapphire sits center stage in Princess Eugenie's engagement ring. Surrounding it are approximately fourteen smaller diamond rounds clustered tightly together. An additional diamond sits on each shoulder of the yellow gold ring. Padparadscha sapphires are rare and beautiful. They shimmer in shifting shades of coral, orange, and pink. "Why I loved it so much is it changes colour from every different angle that you look at it, which is what I think of Eugenie, that she changes colour, and it's just so amazing," Jack told the BBC. {source}  

A Romantic Proposal - Without the Ring

Jack Brooksbank planned to propose to his princess as a culmination to their seven-year relationship. He found what he thought was the perfect ring for her, but he didn't purchase it right then. Instead, he left with his sweetheart for a trip to Nicaragua. As the sun set below the horizon, the couple sat together, gazing upon a beautiful lake scene. A magnificent volcano rose in the distance, birds flew overhead, and Princess Eugenie said, "This is an incredible moment." {source} Jack expanded the moment by asking for her hand in marriage. Completely surprised, Princess Eugenie said yes. "I was over the moon, crying," she told the BBC. {source} The only thing missing was Eugenie's engagement ring. Jack wanted her approval before he made the purchase. So when they returned from their trip, they went straight to the jeweler's. Together, they embellished the gorgeous stone with the halo of diamonds.  

What's Next for the Princess?

A wedding awaits the princess, of course. Jack and Eugenie will exchange vows at St. George's Chapel on October 12, 2018. The Queen's granddaughter currently holds ninth place in line for the throne, though she is unencumbered by royal engagements. Princess Eugenie works as associate director of an art gallery. Her fiance works as a wine merchant. The princess's mother looks forward to their future with "total joy" and excitement. "Eugenie is one of the finest people I know and so together it will be pure harmony," Sarah Ferguson wrote about their engagement. {source}
