You’ve heard of the Revenge Dress—Princess Diana’s iconic black off-the-shoulder dress from designer Christina Stambolian—but after their highly-publicized divorce, Princess Diana invested in a Divorce Ring. The aquamarine ring that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, wore to her wedding was actually the late Princess Diana’s symbol of “empowerment and modern womanhood”
According to Steven Schneider, CEO of Worthy, the premier online auction house for diamonds, diamond jewelry, and luxury timepieces, Princess Diana was a trend-setter with her Divorce Ring. “Princess Diana popularized the divorce ring back in the nineties with a stunning ~25 carat emerald-cut aquamarine stone set in 24 karat yellow gold,” Schneider reports to Marie Claire. “The oversized gemstone was in stark contrast to her infamous engagement ring.”
