Earlier this month, Meghan Markle posted an Instagram tribute to her daughter, Lilibet, in honor of her 4th birthday. While many were probably focused on the rarely-seen young princess, my eyes flew straight to the rock on Markle’s pinkie finger.
While nowadays, the Duchess of Sussex rocks a bezel-set emerald-cut diamond, she was wearing pinky rings even as a working royal. In 2019, while attending Wimbledon, Markle accessorized her courtside look with a small sapphire on a slim gold band. But it seems that after she and Prince Harry took a step back from their royal duties, she upgraded to her current statement ring.
Markle isn’t the only one who leveled up their ring stack. Emily Ratajkowski made headlines last year when she repurposed her toi et moi engagement ring into two separate “divorce rings.” One of them became a pear-shaped diamond pinky ring, set askew on a yellow gold band.
Last week, Victoria Beckham also showed off a ring on her little finger. The designer kept her stack sparse, pairing her pinky ring with a petite emerald on her pointer finger.
