There are many engagement rings that will go down in history as one of "the greats"—those that are forever memorialized online and in our memories. And when it comes to the royals, as we've seen time and time again, no celebrity engagement ring can infiltrate their distinction of "most iconic". Specifically, the engagement ring that Prince Philip once gave to Queen Elizabeth II is etched into history as a wedding staple.
Sourced from a tiara that once belonged to Prince Philip's mother, Queen Elizabeth's ring features a round 3-carat center stone flanked by clusters of smaller diamonds (10 total) and is set in platinum. According to Maxwell Stone, a diamond expert and the director of UK jewelry retailer Steven Stone, "The ring is set with eleven diamonds in total, including five smaller stones set on each shoulder. A design like this isn't seen often, it's very unique. The center stone is also quite modest in comparison to other royal engagement rings, which suggests it was designed with the intention to be worn every day."
