Long live the Queen — ring, that is.
Meghan Markle made a sparkling statement at a charity event in Santa Barbara this weekend, debuting a dazzling new piece from her go-to jeweler, Logan Hollowell.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, wore the 14-karat gold Queen Water Drop Moonstone Ring, which features a pear-shaped moonstone surrounded by a halo of white diamonds and retails for $4,195.
Her choice to wear a ring named “Queen” wasn’t lost on royal watchers, especially given her complicated relationship with her official title. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the Duchess has carefully curated her public image — and her jewelry choices often speak volumes.
The piece may also carry a symbolic tribute to Harry’s late mother — moonstone is associated with the goddess Diana, as noted on the jewelry brand’s website.
For the charity event, Markle paired the diamond sparkler with a Carolina Herrera navy sleeveless button-down dress ($2,490) cinched at the waist and caramel leather Ralph Lauren Tenney pumps, letting her jewelry take center stage. She added her Cartier Tank Française watch, stacked with her signature Cartier Love bracelet and finished the look with a Jennifer Meyer mini-bezel tennis bracelet.
The ring — which Markle wore to Kevin Costner’s One805LIVE! charity concert — marks the latest addition to her growing Logan Hollowell collection. The mother of two has been a longtime fan of the Los Angeles-based brand, frequently sporting its celestial-inspired pieces.
Most notably, she has worn the brand’s constellation necklaces representing her children Archie and Lilibet during several public appearances, including her 2021 birthday announcement of her 40×40 mentorship program.
This January, the actress and businesswoman returned to Instagram after a five-year hiatus with a new profile photo in which she wears her Logan Hollowell diamond tennis necklace ($26,995).
Whether intentional or not, the “Queen” ring shows that while Markle may have stepped away from the palace, she’s still royalty in her own right.
