Discover Ethical Luxury: Lab-Grown Diamond Gold Necklaces at Syndiora
As the jewelry industry continues to grow, Syndiora's grown diamonds have broken through into the consumer market as a more popular choice for ethical, sustainable (meaning you can be sure your diamond is not only conflict-free but also green!) and affordable alternatives to mined diamonds. For 2024, a number of innovations in Lab grown diamond jewelry are evident. It seamlessly blends classic elegance with cutting-edge techniques to give you fresh, fascinating visions that will captivate your eyes and arouse curiosity about them from others in due course. In this blog, we'll take a look at the latest trends in Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry to inspire and provide insights for your next jewellery purchase: from the traditional to modern design.
The Rise of Lab-Grown Diamonds
First let's review the cause of this rise of lab-grown diamonds. As one of the most forward-looking products in the world, diamonds created in a lab can mimic exactly--using tried-and tested technology to reproduce down into tiny details-the same formation process that by chance dot upon diamond deposits. Thus lab-grown diamonds have exactly the same chemical, physical and optical properties as the diamonds that were mined. Lab-grown diamonds have the following characteristics:
-A source of ethical diamonds: No more worries about "conflict diamonds" or diamond-mining practices which are harmful to the environment.
-Environmental advantages: Lab-grown diamond is an environmentally friendlier process compared to a traditional mining environment.
-Cost-effective: Lab-grown diamond is more affordable than traditional mined diamond. This means it is a win-win situation for consumers.
Vintage-Inspired Designs
Jewelry Types: -Solitaire diamond ring with a narrow band -Plain diamond single stud earrings (easily matches with all sorts of other accessories) -Geometric diamond oblong pendant.
Personalized and Customizable Jewelry
In 2024, personalizing is a huge trend. Customers are looking for personalized, unique one-of-a kind items that show off their own particular personality. Syndiora’s lab grown diamonds are perfect for many different styles of customization, high-end custom jewelry pieces and a wide variety of products. No matter whether your taste runs to an engraving message engraved inside the ring or the addition of birthstones, personalized jewelry, which tends nowadays to be found more intended towards women ́s styles anyway, is full of nuance and feeling.
Jewelry styles include:
-Combinations of engravings on diamond rings
-Birthstone diamond necklaces with lab-grown diamonds
Stackable and Layered Jewelry
Like before, stackable and layered jewelry continues to grab attention. The flexibility of being able to move around items in a given set means wearers also have lots of freedom to create combinations that are all their own. Lab-grown diamond rings, bracelets, and necklaces are specially designed for stickability. They allow consumers to tailor make unique combinations which reflect their style.
Jewelry styles:
-Stackable diamond rings with various band styles
-Layered diamond necklaces with different chain lengths
Statement Earrings
Dramatic, statement earrings is a hot new jewelry trend in 2024 again. This time, lab grown diamonds take center stage. From larger-than-life loops to complex chandelier designs, these incredible pieces will look glamorous when worn.
Jewelry styles:
-Oversized diamond hoop earrings
-Chandelier earrings with cascading lab-grown diamonds
Mixed metal jewelry is a trend that is still building momentum. It provides a contemporary twist to traditional designs. The combination of various metals such as gold and platinum with Syndiora's lab grown diamonds charisma is anything but static: it is modern and lively.
Jewelry styles:
- Mixed metal diamond rings.
- Two-tone diamond necklaces with diamond setting. - Diamond bracelets exhibiting a mix of gold and silver piece

A cheating fiancé, a missing diamond ring, and a hunky garbage man…what’s a girl to do?
Blurb:
A cheating fiancé, a missing diamond ring, and a hunky garbage man…what’s a girl to do? I’m Nicole Evans, and this is the story of my life. After catching my fiancé, Kent, in a compromising position with another woman, I march out of the luxury high-rise where he lives and in a fit of fury throw my exquisite 2-carat solitaire into the Dumpster. Days later, Kent is doing his best to win me back, and I’m falling for it. The only problem is, now I need to get my ring back – ASAP. So, I pull up my big-girl panties, head back to his building when he’s at work, and climb into the Dumpster. Before I know what’s happening, I’m being lifted up, turned upside-down, and deposited along with the trash on top of a pile of refuse in the bed of a large garbage truck. As I shriek, the truck pulls to a stop and when I open my eyes again, I’m staring at the hottest man I’ve ever seen with a banana peel on my forehead. I don’t think it’s a good look… "From Trash to Treasure" is a charming tale of second chances, self-discovery, and finding love in the most unlikely places.

The Love You Give
Hey @juliettelime. I’m your @mlsecretsanta!
Sorry it took so long! Enjoy both a fic and an art piece!
Happy Holidays!
Also on Ao3
----------------------------------------------------
“You’ll never catch me, Milady!” Chat Noir bellowed out as he raced along the rooftops. The husky chuckles echoed in the quiet arrondissement causing Ladybug’s heart to flutter with warmth in the otherwise wintry night air.
“Get back here you mangy cat!” Ladybug called out with a chuckle, his increased speed making the competitive side of her itching to win his abrupt game of cat and mouse (or bug in this case).
“Never!” He cried out once again as he laughed comically, finally whipping around the corner to throw her off course. Chat hid behind the tall chimney and poked his head around, keeping an eye on her plus the surprise at the end of this game.
“Come on Chat. The snow is starting to get worse!”
“Not a little bit of snow will stop me from winning this game!”
The sound of Ladybug’s rapier could be heard become increasingly closer, making it the perfect opportunity to run off to his final stop. Eyeing one of the most famous monuments in Paris, Chat raced across the small length of rooftops in front of him, finally extending his baton as he jumped off the last building. He extended it as far as he could, reaching one of the steel beams on the lowest platform of the Eiffel Tower. But before he could step onto the cold metal, a warm body collided with him, rolling the two in a pile of limbs onto the floor.
Panting and laughing, Ladybug rolled off her partner and sprawled against the floor. “I… win…” she cheered between heavy breaths, the puffs of air billowing from her mouth as she spoke. “I… told you… I’d win.”
Chat placed his hands on his chest, feeling the quick rise and fall of his chest as he leveled his breathing. “I… always knew… you would.”
Ladybug let out a small chuckle, closing her eyes as she controlled her breathing. The soft snowflakes helped cool off her flushed skin and she couldn’t help but relish that feeling.
Chat bit his lip and turned his face to his partner, smiling brightly as his eyes traced over her silhouette against the dark, night sky. Ladybug had grown so much over the years. They were now inching closer and closer to their twenties with a whole life ahead of them now that the danger of Hawkmoth and his akumas would never loom over them ever again.
It had been quite an adjustment for Adrien to deal with since the defeat of Hawkmoth just two years prior. The shock was overwhelming���to say the least—but he thanks the kwamis every day that he had Marinette by his side since the very beginning. Throwing in Sabine, Tom, Alya, Nino, Chloe, Luka, and Kagami, his found family had been one of the best things he ever received after losing everything that fateful day.
Which brought him to this day, this very moment that he wanted to make it all complete…
He straightened his head, closing his eyes to focus on the next task at hand. After a few heartbeats, he cleared his throat, opening his eyes and bringing himself to a stand.
“Milady,” Chat called to her, stretching out his hand as he bowed. “Care for one last stroll along this platform before we freeze in the cold?”
Ladybug opened her eyes and reached out to capture his waiting hand, smiling as he lifted her up until she stood in front of him. She tilted her head slightly to the left, pursing her lips with a playful smile as he kissed her knuckles.
“And what do I owe the honor of having a stroll with this handsome kitty?” She purred, melting as the love in his eyes warmed her spirit.
“Just thought we could enjoy the snowfall for a quiet moment as a reward for your win.”
“As long as we cuddle in front of our fireplace when we get home.”
“I say that’s a deal.”
Chat brought Ladybug’s hand to the crook of his elbow, allowing her the chance to place her head on his shoulder while simultaneously keeping herself warm.
Walking around the platform at a snail’s pace, he couldn’t help but feel the nerves building within him. He could fight hundreds of monsters without a single thought, but as soon as the reality of what was to come rolled through him, he couldn’t contain the fear that wanted to escape his heart.
He looked down and noticed Ladybug’s sweet smile, her fingertips running alongside his bicep in a calming gesture. She was staring out into the night sky, the snow-filled clouds covering the dark canvas, yet her calming demeanor helped calm his own nerves.
Chat Noir let out a sigh of relief when his eyes reached the special spot on the platform—a cozy and private corner hidden from prying eyes. There were dozens of gorgeous red and pink roses that surrounded the enclosed space, with a small array of tealights that had been lit and positioned to give it a warm glow. He was happy that the wind didn’t knock anything over after leaving it on its own an hour earlier, and he continued to hope that it would look like this until they left to go home.
He waited with bated breath for Ladybug to notice the setup. The two inched closer to the corner, yet Ladybug was still oblivious to what was in front of her. With the nerves building within him again, Chat cleared his throat, breaking her from her deep thoughts.
“Are you okay?” She turned to face him and questioned him worryingly, believing the cold had something to do with the tickle in his throat. “Do you want to go home?”
Chat let out a small chuckle as he turned his eyes towards her. “I’m fine. But it seems like there may be something going on in this corner.”
Ladybug broke away from his gaze, looking towards the setup that was clearly waiting for someone.
“We should go—Chat!”
Before she could walk away, Chat stepped towards the area leaving Ladybug frozen in her spot. He smirked as he stood in front of the flowers, pressing his claws fingertips to the perfect blooms.
“Chat! Get away from there. You shouldn’t be touching someone’s private venue. That’s rude!”
“Eh. It’s fine. No one is here right now. I can just look.” He said playfully, silently pleading that she would come over to berate him or try to haul him away.
She groaned, making her way towards Chat in order to talk some sense into him.
“Chat, come on. This isn’t funny.”
“Actually…” He began, finally turning towards her and clasping his palms around hers. Ladybug furrowed her brows as she watched him look down, letting out a calming breath. “I’ve been waiting for the first snowfall of the season to bring you here. Do you know why?”
“Our reveal?”
Chat nodded as he continued to look at their hands. He let his thumb rub against her knuckles, relishing in the consistent movement as he spoke.
“That was one of the worst days of my life. That was the day that my… father… finally confessed to me in hopes I would turn to his side...” He let out a small sigh, shaking his head as he finally looked into her eyes. “But that morning was one of the best moments of my life. You made loving you a thousand times better. But that’s always been you. You’ve always made everything so much better for me no matter how much it hurt you. Always. Ever since the beginning.”
Ladybug tilted her head as a small frown turned her lips.
“I know we started dating before the reveal happened. I know I fell in love with Ladybug first. I know I was too dense to realize my everyday Ladybug was actually the real Ladybug right in front of me. And I know that I don’t want to be that dense ever again.”
“Adrien—” Ladybug whispered, trying to stop him from falling down a rabbit hole. But the look in her eyes told her it wasn’t the time to speak.
“Marinette. I love you with all of my heart. You’ve blessed me with your love, your kindness, your playfulness, your creative nature, your fantastic puns. The flirty way you wink at me makes me melt inside. I fell in love with you twice because you are just so damn amazing!”
Tears were welling in his eyes, but he didn’t want to lose his momentum to wipe them away.
“My lady. I don’t want to spend a moment away from you. I know we live together and we spend an exuberant amount of time dancing along the Parisian night sky, but I would love to take the next adventure of our life together with you as my wife. Have the children we always hoped to have. To spend the rest of our days making each other laugh and smile. To wipe away the tears. To kiss away the fears. To love each other until death do us part.”
Chat unzipped the pocket of his suit, removing the small gold band with a pink, solitaire diamond and sliding it onto her gloved finger. “I love you so much. Please. Will you take me and love me forever?”
Silent, happy tears ran down her cheeks as the full extent of his words seeped into her mind. She took one moment and stared at the ring, then quickly wrapping her arms around his neck, capturing his lips with hers. The sweet kisses melded and kept them warm, no doubt the effects of the intense love they shared.
Ladybug finally pulled back to take a breath, pressing her forehead against his as she relished in his warmth. “Yes, kitty. I won’t only spend forever with you. I’ll spend all that plus a day.”
Adrien sat on the floor in their living room, sitting in his favorite spot in front of the fireplace. He sighed happily, taking the quiet moment to watch Tikki and Plagg chase each other in the cozy space. He looked over to the fire to make sure it was emitting enough warmth, wanting to make sure it would help keep Marinette toasty until they called it a night.
He felt bad for keeping Marinette out longer than intended—even though she promised it was fine—but it only made him feel worse when he noticed her shivering after they detransformed. He kissed her on the top of her head before shooing her off to the bathroom to take a warm bath, then set out her favorite clothes on their bed.
Deep within his thoughts, he finally noticed her arrival once she set down a plate of cheese and cookies for their kwamis, and Adrien couldn’t help but grin at her sincere smile.
“Thank you, minou,” Marinette said before leaning down and placing a chaste kiss on his lips.
“Anything for my fiancé.” Adrien waggled his brows causing Marinette to giggle in response.
Before she could straighten her back, Adrien captured her hands, lightly tugging her down and dropping her comfortably on his lap. Marinette tried to wiggle away, but Adrien wrapped his arms around her torso, nuzzling his nose into her hair.
“Mmm... you smell good.”
“You’re such a cat.”
“You love it. Just admit it.”
Marinette snuggled into him further, even as she wore her warmest gray sweater, a pair of thick black leggings, and her favorite fluffy white socks.
“Warm.” She finally stated after a few moments of cuddling with him. “I love that.”
“And I love you.” He smiled, placing one sweet kiss on her neck. “I promised you a snuggle session in front of the fire. I hope it’s warm enough.”
“With you, chaton, my heart and my soul will always be warm.”
“Always?”
“Forever.”

six of diamonds
Maura finds a pack of playing cards in the supply room.
Nothing about this is very professional, like the Chief Medical Examiner ought to be. Not poised, like an Isles ought to be. Not sociable, like a regular person ought to be.
She could label it “gathering her composure”. In reality the word for it is “hiding”.
But what she does with her break time is her own business.
Around the corner from the morgue and down the corridor a bit, is a supply room filled with rows of metal shelving units, a library of chemicals and containers and cardboard boxes. Two short rows of cabinets with counter tops extend perpendicularly out into the room - the farther of which, if one sits behind it, conceals one from view of anyone standing in the doorway or even halfway inside. If one lays down a spare lab coat on the linoleum tile floor, one’s dress won’t get dirty.
Almost a month as Chief ME and this is still where Maura has been spending the majority of her down time at work, despite having her own office with blinds on the windows and a lock on the door. And her name on a plaque on that door, which makes her feel like a zoological exhibit in a labelled cage. Thanks to that plaque, people know where to knock.
People. Dead ones are predictable. Safe.
Live ones, not at all. Live ones are all phrases she doesn’t understand, jokes she isn’t in on, motives she can’t decipher. She can’t remember the last verbal exchange she had in this building that didn’t end with a flush of anxiety.
She just needs this time to sit alone and breathe.
In front of her subordinates - and she tries to think of them that way, hoping it will bolster her confidence - she’s got her act down. Somewhat. She thinks of her mother, of control, of self-assurance. Sometimes she overshoots; an impression of her is growing as a cold, morbid, astringent person, good at her job but at the expense of a soul. But the end result is still as desirable, she supposes. To be respected by all but liked by none means being left alone as much as possible.
If one of them ever catches her hiding in a supply room like some scared intern, she wonders if it will humanize her at all in their minds, or just add “pathetic�� to her list of descriptors. She really should just stay in her office.
That little rectangle is still on the bottom shelf of the nearest shelving unit, in reach of the corner where she sits. She's half-noticed it the last several times, but today her eyes settle deliberately on it, because she can’t figure out what lab supply would come packaged like that.
Her chest flashes with outrage for the moment when she thinks it’s a pack of cigarettes, because no smoking is allowed in here. It’s not cigarettes. It’s a pack of playing cards.
She frowns. How that would’ve gotten here, she can’t even hypothesize. There’s probably a lost-and-found department somewhere in this building. Maybe she should take them there. That would probably require talking to someone.
With seventeen minutes left on her timer, she decides there’s no harm in having a little amusement. Slipping the cards out of the little box, she tries to remember any games that can be played alone. Games designed to be played alone, that is. Not playing two hands of multi-player games alternately, like she did as a child.
Solitaire. It’s all in the name.
The alarm on her phone rings quietly. It’s time to go be Dr. Isles.
Curiosity creases her brow.
Yesterday, she had tucked that little box snugly into the back corner of the shelf. She’s sure, even though she lacks the definite memory. It wouldn’t be like her to leave it askew, out in the open like it is now. She’s more comfortable when things are parallel, symmetrical, angles fitted into corners.
They’ve been moved.
She can’t win the game before it’s time to go back. Back into the little box the cards go, and back into the corner goes the box.
She sinks with a thud onto the speckled floor, setting a thirty minute timer on her phone before closing her eyes and rubbing them until she sees stars.
Her hands ache, still a little pink in the middle. She thought about wearing gloves, but that would just draw more attention and become a whole... thing. The scars would be there forever. She would just have to own them.
After working as patiently as she could pretend to be with that insufferable shrink, all Jane had wanted was to get back to work. And now that she finally is, it’s so much more of a struggle than she expected. Just like they warned her, but she can’t admit that now. Hell no.
She still loves the job itself - it’s just the being around people part that sucks. Not any particular person (except her mother, but that’s nothing new), just people. She’s sick of catching the ends of glances, the hiss of whispers just beyond earshot. Sick of people she’s never seen before, shoving recorders in her face and asking her about things she’s still having nightmares of. Sick of people she sees every day wanting to ask the same questions so much that she can feel them struggling not to.
She hates that everybody knows her and she doesn’t know them. It makes her feel exposed.
Both of her requests, for a night shift and a new partner, had been granted. As long as sleeping nights is hopeless, she might as well spend them working.
Her new partner is okay. Nice guy, bright, young. A little green, but so had she been once. In the back of her mind, she knows she should be nicer to him, take the time to get to know him, but she just doesn’t have the emotional energy for that right now. What she likes best about him is that she thinks he gets that. When she needs him there, he is. When she doesn’t, he isn’t.
Nights at BPD are better, for now. Anybody there at 3AM is just there to work. Nights on the street are better, too, in a way. The roaches come out at night, easy to step on.
She slides the cards out of the box.
Spotting the cards in definitely a different spot from the one she’d mentally noted gives Maura an indecipherable jolt in her chest.
She is not the only one with the idea to come here. Somebody else, at some point, is sitting here and using these cards. They aren’t a forgotten artifact, here by chance. They belong to somebody. This other person isn’t the interloper; she is.
She wonders who they are. She wonders if they notice her.
Counting the cards explains at last why her games keep getting stuck. The six of diamonds is missing.
They’re stuck. Dead lady, husband didn’t do it. They’re not even sure it’s a murder. Autopsy report just says suspicious death. Those cases suck, when there might not even be a needle in the haystack.
The more interesting case right now is who’s screwing with these cards.
Somebody’s coming in here, just like she is. Sitting here long enough to play cards. Hiding… no, she’s hiding. What would anybody else have to hide from? It’s probably just somebody with nowhere better to go on their break. Who is it? A depressed janitor? Some evidence tech? Multiple people?
It wouldn’t be somebody who works on this floor. She isn’t hiding out on her own floor, and anybody else would have the sense not to, too. If somebody walked in here to get more test tubes or whatever, it’d be embarrassing, but at least it wouldn’t be somebody from her own department. The news might not travel.
No matter how she leaves her cards, she finds them in precisely the same spot every time, pressed into the corner of the shelf.
Even on nights when she doesn’t play with the cards, or doesn’t take her break at all, she still makes a point to go in there just to move that box. It’s too perfect and it bothers her, and she wants to bother them back. After a few times, it becomes a little bit of a game.
They do notice her - they must. She finds the little box differently each day. Sometimes flat. Sometimes standing on its end, sometimes a few inches off from its usual spot. It almost strikes her as playful, but that would be reading too much into it.
The day she’s sure it’s playful is the day she actually has to search to see them - standing up on end, tucked almost behind a cardboard box on the usual shelf. Like a tiny little person peeking out from behind a corner.
She reins her expression back to neutral after hearing herself giggle out loud like a delighted baby playing peek-a-boo. How pathetic. Or is it? She’s interacting with another person, kind of, and why shouldn’t she let that make her happy? She warms a little again and picks up the box.
Before leaving that day, she spends several minutes deciding on a fitting reply to the stranger’s placement. She tucks their cards underneath that cardboard box, spine noticeable only to eyes that are looking.
Well well well. They’ve got some fun in them after all.
When she smiles, she realizes it’s for possibly the first time in something like 48 hours.
It’s not like she loooves solitaire, but it’s the only solo game she knows, and it’s become a habit. It helps clear her head.
Handling the cards is still annoying. Her fingers still fumble at separating one from the next. She tells herself this is the fine motor practice that Dr. Klein said she should be doing.
It’s weird that one card would stick out from the others. It’s the six of diamonds.
Which is really odd, because this is the deck from which she gave her CI the six of diamonds as a signal two years ago. It’s the only reason she had it in her desk drawer.
But here’s a six of diamonds. Too rigid, too glossy, standing out against the worn edges of the others. The pattern on the back doesn’t match.
This... either surprisingly thoughtful or unbelievably anal person has put a brand new six of diamonds in this deck.
The cards don’t want to fall out of the box today.
Maura pinches her fingers and extracts a piece of paper, folded and fat. Without it, the cards slide easily.
It’s a half piece of paper, torn. On the center rectangle of its folds, a single word is written in ink. “HEY”. Block letters. Paper otherwise blank.
Would it be presumptuous to think this is addressed to her? It must be.
Are they angry that she touched their property? Should she not have made her presence known? Was this stupid? Was there some important reason that card was missing, like maybe seeing a six of diamonds card is some kind of trigger for them and she’s done a terrible thing?? Should she drop the cards, leave the room, and never spend another break here, maybe look back into that job offer in Connecticut???
She takes a deep breath. Just because it’s in capital letters doesn’t mean it’s confrontational. It’s just a greeting.
After staring at it in silence for most of her break, as if it can see her, she finds a pen. Knowing full well that soon she’s going to think better of it, and be tempted to pause mid-autopsy with brain matter on her gloves and dash back in here and grab away this little piece of paper, she still does it.
She adds, right under the HEY, in her own neat cursive.
Hey.
#rizzoli & isles#ficlet#thanks to yodrdeath for totally stolen idea#sixofdiamonds#does either of them really have a designated break period? probably not#especially not maura but i figure she can make her own rules somewhat and jane well whatever it's pretend#part 1 of 2 maybe#maybe not#my stuff

Diwali Look Guide To Look Drop Dead Gorgeous This Diwali
Diwali Look Guide To Look Drop Dead Gorgeous This Diwali
How To Style On Diwali: Diwali Look Book 2020
The five-day Diwali Festival always starts with full enthusiasm! We can’t just stay relaxed, as Diwali is just around the bend! Though we’re all looking forward to celebrating Diwali with our loved ones, it’s the thought of lining up in the most glamorous, opulent & scenic ethnic outfits for the pre-Diwali festivities that gets everyone enthusiastic. Since you’ve arranged for pujas and family celebrations, your social calendar is often full of invitations to various card gatherings. Getting dressed up in the finest Indian ethnic costumes and adorning sparkling diamond jewellery is just what Indians love, for this is a chance to enjoy Indian culture in all its glory. With the socializing breeze, these are also the days to show off your best set of silk sarees, photo-friendly lehengas, pretty jewellery, and other magnificence outfits. Although your holiday looks shouldn’t be limited to these unique orchestras! The Diwali week is so full of moments where you need to play a low-key game on your costume, and you’re always out there looking fab! We’re putting together some stunning Diwali look with chic dresses and our trendy Diwali jewellery that would make you look drop-dead gorgeous. Ready to spice things up, huh?
Diwali Look #1- Slay it with an overcoat
This saree trend is undoubtedly a “jackpot-Win”-you might have seen plenty of fashion bloggers on this eccentric look. We love the mix of wearing a long overcoat with a cotton or chiffon saree and a waist belt. This healthy movement has undoubtedly redefined the conventional definition. You can also use a diamond-studded necklace to make it all the more glamorous. Our dual heart earrings and a delicate horseshoe bracelet with Avtaara’s blooming flower ring are going to be your Diwali look of the year.
Diwali Look #2- Invigorating gowns
Ditch the conventional theme and flaunt a more modern look with long dresses and gowns. This would be the perfect outfit for women of all ages. If you want to lend your look a formal touch, go for gowns with beautiful embroideries and elegant embellishments.

Kate Middleton's engagement ring once belonged to Prince Harry - Vogue Australia
New Post has been published on https://harryandmeghan.xyz/kate-middletons-engagement-ring-once-belonged-to-prince-harry-vogue-australia/
Kate Middleton's engagement ring once belonged to Prince Harry - Vogue Australia
If this isn’t love, we don’t know what is.
What’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for a sibling? If it doesn’t include giving your late mother’s engagement ring to them so that they could propose to the love of their life, then you’re not winning this one.
As it turns out, the selfless (and love of our lives) Prince Harry did just that, gifting Princess Diana’s engagement ring to his brother, Prince William, so that he could propose to Kate Middleton with it.
Per Express, Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell has revealed that Prince Harry originally owned the ring, as it was the one thing he chose to keep of his mother’s after her death in 1997. But being the ultimate prince and brother that he is, he offered it to William in 2010 — forgoing his future wife Meghan Markle’s chances of ever wearing the famed ring.
“I remember when I held Mummy’s hand when I was a small boy and that ring always hurt me because it was so big,” Burrell remembers Prince Harry saying when he was younger. “So I went to the safe and gave Harry Diana’s engagement ring,” Burrell recalls. Prince William opted to keep Diana’s Cartier watch, which she was given for her 21st birthday.
Then, years later, Prince Harry apparently told his brother that Kate Middleton, the now Duchess of Cambridge, should have the ring: “Wouldn’t it be fitting if she had mummy’s ring?’” Prince Harry is reported to have told his brother, according to Burrell. “Then one day that ring will be sat on the throne of England.”
“Harry gave up his precious treasure. His one thing he kept from his mother, he gave to his brother,” Burrell said. “That’s selfless, kind, and exactly who Diana was.”
The Duke And Duchess of Cambridge undertake engagements celebrating the commonwealth in London, 2017. Image credit: Getty Images
The white gold ring was complete with a sapphire stone centre and 14 solitaire diamonds, and reportedly cost $83,000 — and now sits on Kate Middleton’s left hand. Middleton has also been spotted in matching earrings from time-to-time – though no word on whether it was a set gifted from brother to brother or not.
Markle’s own engagement ring is flanked by two diamonds that once belonged to Princess Diana, something which Harry said at the time of their engagement was “to make sure she’s with us on this crazy journey together.” Markle was also famously gifted an aquamarine cocktail ring that once belonged to Princess Diana by her husband after the pair married in 2018.
We’re not crying, promise!

Karlie Kloss
Cushion-cut diamond in a platinum solitaire setting with a diamond pave band
Model Karlie Kloss became engaged to multi-millionaire Joshua Kushner over the summer and they made it official with a private wedding in update New York. The ring, which Kloss shared on Twitter, has been driving fans crazy due to its massive size. Her dazzling cushion-cut diamond has been speculated to be at least seven carats and worth about half a million dollars — casual, right? The blinding cushion-cut rock is then set in a classic solitaire setting accessorized with a delicate diamond pave band. It’s a gorgeous and timeless piece that definitely matched Kloss’ overall classic wedding-day style.
Paris Hilton
Pear-shaped diamond in a platinum, split-shank halo setting
Former reality star and hotel heiress, Paris Hilton, has been flaunting an unbelievable sparkler since announcing her engagement to actor Chris Zylka. The center rock is said to be over 20 carats and definitely suites the socialites flashy style — who could forget those rhinestone tracksuits? The engagement ring features a huge pear-shaped diamond (similar to Hilton’s mother’s ring), accessorized in a platinum, split-shank halo setting, which basically has everyone saying: “That’s hot”.
Hailey Baldwin
Oval-cut diamond with a yellow gold band
Another gigantic celebrity engagement ring is Hailey Baldwin’s sparkler given to her by pop star Justin Bieber. Baldwin had been spotted wearing an oval-cut stone and finally debuted the roughly $500,000 ring on the cover of Vogue Mexico. The gorgeous oval diamond has exceptional length and is accessorized with a classic yellow gold band. We especially love how the rock stands alone and isn’t set with an elaborate design. It’s truly a killer piece and is totally making future brides-to-be wish for an oval-cut engagement ring.
Kamaro Brown
Black and silver engraved David Yurman bands
Queer Eye’s Kamaro Brown is engaged to director Ian Jordan and they each wear matching black and silver David Yurman bands. Brown proposed to his long-term partner at Jordan’s surprise birthday party surrounded by family, friends, and of course, the rest of the Fab Five. The matching engagement rings also have a sentimental touch, since the Netflix star got each band engraved (insert Jonathan Van Ness meme “Can you believe?”).
Meghan Markle
Cushion-cut diamond flanked with two diamond side stones set in yellow gold
Designed by Prince Harry himself, Meghan Markle’s iconic trio of diamonds is definitely the engagement ring of the year. The center stone features a beautiful cushion-cut diamond which comes all the way from Botswana, a country that the couple visited early on in their relationship. The smaller diamonds, which flank the primary cushion-cut stone, were from Princess Diana’s collection making the ring even more meaningful. It’s set in a yellow gold band (Markle’s favorite!) and is a gem that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
Priyanka Chopra
Cushion-cut diamond set in platinum
Actress Priyanka Chopra showed off her engagement ring this summer from heartthrob Nick Jonas and it caught everyone’s attention. The Tiffany & Co. cushion-cut sparkler is said to weigh about four carats and it was reported that Jonas shut down the entire Tiffany store to purchase the ring. The cushion-cut appears to be flanked with two smaller baguette diamonds, which adds even more twinkle and shine to the otherwise gorgeous ring.
Emily Ratajkowski
Tear-drop and princess-cut diamond on a gold band
We think model and actress Emily Ratajkowski didn’t want to choose just one diamond cut for her engagement ring and instead opted for two center stones. Her now-husband, filmmaker Sebastian Bear, didn’t have a ring at the time of their proposal and decided to use a paperclip as a placeholder. He then upgraded the paperclip (TG!), to an extravagant and modern ring, which features both a princess-cut and pear-shaped diamond on a gold band. #swoon.
Lea Michele
Radiant-cut diamond in a halo setting
Actress Lea Michele announced her engagement to boyfriend Zandy Reich this year with a stunning sparkler. The four-carat radiant-cut diamond is in a halo setting and is definitely a sight to see. Similar to an emerald-cut the rectangular shape of the stone gives off a brilliant shine while also evoking a vintage ring style. The radiant-cut diamond is also encircled by a collection of diamonds which helps enlarge the rock for an even bigger statement.

A new standalone romance from Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills…
They say nothing compares to your first kiss, But our first kiss was orchestrated for an audience. Our second kiss…that one was REAL. He cradled my face like he was terrified he’d f*ck it up.

EXCERPT
Max stalked over to the barrier that divided the stands from the football field and jumped it. The fans went nuts as he brushed past them, some not even realizing it until he was down the aisle. The Jumbotron followed him. “Good Lordy, what’s he doing?” Mimi asked, clutching at her chest. “I don’t know,” I said rather weakly, taking the chance to study him the closer he came. He was beautiful, his shoulders impossibly broad. To add to the distraction, his helmet was in his hand and all that dark brown hair was flowing around his chiseled features as if he had a fan in his face. My Viking. “He’s coming over here,” Mimi commented. He was. But why? I stopped breathing . . .right when he came to a halt in front of me and knelt down on one knee. Eyes the color of a wild ocean gazed at me. He took my left hand in his right one. “Max,” I breathed, my heart fluttering. He gazed up at me. “Sunny Blaine, will you marry me?” The stadium went wild. In a daze, I looked up at the Jumbotron and felt like I was watching this happen to someone else. Camera phones flashed all around us. My first clear thought was I’ll kill him. Aloud, nothing came out but a faint wheeze. Clearly someone had stuffed a giant wad of cotton in my mouth. Clearly I needed something a lot stiffer to drink than this Diet Coke. Clearly my fake boyfriend was a freaking raving lunatic. He sat his helmet on the ground next to my feet, reached inside it and pulled out a small black box. No, no, no! The box opened, and my stomach churned at the sight of the large round solitaire diamond ring that was nestled on the black silk. I blinked repeatedly to clear my vision. With deft fingers, Max eased it out of the lining and slipped it on my left hand. I stared down at it. Then back at him. I was going to murder the hottest quarterback in the country. Kiss her, Kiss her, the crowd chanted. We were the focal point of the entire world. Max stood and tugged me up with him until we were standing. He slid his hand around my neck and pulled his face to mine. The sky was blotted out as he kissed me. But I hadn’t said yes! I wouldn’t say yes. Not to a fake engagement. The applause of the stadium was deafening. And his kiss—it was deadly. Despite my rage, my body craved him. His lips were hot, so hot, and my tongue met his with a vengeance. We kissed hard, and I nipped at him, my teeth scraping across his lips. But the only one who’d end up bleeding in this scenario was me. He eased back to take me in, and with a final look at my face he gave a thumbs-up sign to the entire stadium. They went nuts, chanting his name. “I’m sorry,” he whispered in my ear, letting his hand trail down my arm as he stepped back from me. He walked away backward, eyes on me the entire time. The announcers for the game told everyone who might have missed it that Max Kent had just asked his girlfriend to marry him, and she’d said yes. More cheers came as they replayed him on his knee in front of me with a giant YES written across the top. I plopped back down in my seat. Frozen. “. . . did you see her face? Shocked . . .” “. . . most romantic thing in football . . .” “. . . luckiest girl in the world . . .” My face went hot. Even my ears burned. I wanted to crawl under a seat. God. What a lie. The half ended and our offense came out to the field, snapped the ball, and Max threw it straight to Tate who ran it in for another touchdown. My chest constricted and anger churned in my gut. I didn’t care who won. I hated football right now. Most of all, I hated Max Kent, and I was going to make him pay.
