Princess Eugenie her stunning halo engagement ring

After seven years of dating, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank decided to make their union official by announcing to the world that they were getting married. The Royal family shared the news that the couple had become engaged earlier that month in Nicaragua in an official letter on the 22nd of January.
Jack Brooksbank - Princess Eugenie’s husband - proposed with a stunning halo ring. A beautiful Padparadscha sapphire surrounded by a halo of diamonds, all set on a gold band.

An interesting fact about this ring is that it was apparently designed by the young couple themselves, but it closely resembles the engagement halo ring that was given to the Duchess of York when Prince Andrew proposed. The only difference is that Prince Andrew had chosen a Burmese ruby as the centre stone of the ring.

A unique autumn wedding to remember

The date had been announced and the royal couple would be married on October 12th in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, just like Prince Harry and Meghan did just a few months ago.

Getting married in the autumn is a wonderful time of the year, as it is the time when summer has ended, but winter hasn’t arrived yet. It is the season of the ‘Indian summer’, which is when nature offers a wonderful palette of warm colours and the atmosphere becomes cosy and romantic in a subtler way than the more popular summer wedding season. An autumn wedding promises a warm theme and a unique atmosphere. In fact, it is becoming increasingly popular for couples to choose the autumn months for their big celebration day.
Like Meghan and Prince Harry, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank wed at the royal St George’s Chapel. The ceremony was graced with the presence of notable personalities and various members of the Royal Family. The grandeur of the event was enhanced by performances from Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

After a heartwarming ceremony, the couple took a royal journey along Windsor High Street and the Long Walk, spreading love and joy to the waiting public. The day concluded with receptions hosted by the Queen and the York family.

A deeper look at the Royal Bridal jewellery

Princess Eugenie's her magnificent off-the-shoulder wedding dress, crafted by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, was enhanced with stunning emerald and diamond earrings, a gift from her beloved husband, Jack Brooksbank.

These exquisitely designed earrings perfectly matched the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara borrowed from the Queen. The tiara is a diamond diadem from the British Crown Jewels, the most valuable collection of diamonds and diamond jewels in the world.

One of the most famous diamonds from the British Crown Jewels is the Koh-I-Noor, the ‘Mountain of Light’. This jewel was gifted to Queen Victoria and has been part of the collection ever since.
