Meghan Markle models $1,200 vintage ring - and it is breathtaking

Meghan Markle was glowing as she stepped out on Thursday on day one of her Colombia tour with Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, visited the Delia Zapata Art Center in Bogota where not only did she wear a fabulous outfit, but a stunning and unusual piece of jewellery.

For the first time, Meghan wore the vintage 'High Tea Yellow Gold Coral Bead Flower Ring' which retails for $1,250 and is made from 14-carat yellow gold.

To accompany her unexpected statement ring, the mother of two also donned the 'Love Yellow Gold Bracelet', 'Juste Un Clou Necklace in Yellow Gold with Diamonds' and 'Gold Tank Française Watch' from Cartier which are collectively worth tens of thousands of dollars.

To accompany the Duchess' pricey jewellery display, she wore the new 'Navajo Weaver Metallic Tweed Maxi Dress in Burgundy' from Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz.

The midi dress featured a corset-style cut-out bodice with a thigh-split and was styled with Jimmy Choo 'Etana 50' mules.

Meghan's taste in jewellery

While in Colombia, Meghan has opted to wear only the finest jewellery. Later that same day the former Suits actress spoke at the Responsible Digital Future forum wearing a pair of 'Muse Citrine and Diamond Drop Earrings' from Birks which retail for $2,530, as well as 'Juste Un Clou Necklace in Yellow Gold with Diamonds' which would set the buyer back $15,200.

To accompany her loud luxury jewellery, Meghan wore a quiet luxury outfit. Prince Harry's wife kept it simple with a monochrome ensemble comprised of a brown satin shirt from Victoria Beckham, satin wide-leg pants from La Ligne, and tan heels from Aquazurra.

The King 's daughter-in-law has also not been afraid of adding pops of colour to her outfits so far on the Colombia tour.

Her first look was a navy collared Veronica Beard set which was accessorised with blue 'Kyanite Stud Earrings' from Pippa Small and an unexpected 'Against Evil Eye Five Eye Diamond Pave Bracelet' from Lorraine Schwartz worth over $15,000.

Meghan's most sentimental piece of jewellery is her beautiful engagement ring. The piece was designed by Prince Harry using two diamonds from the late Princess Diana 's collection. The centre diamond is from Botswana where the couple spent a special trip prior to going public with their relationship.

The original version of the ring featured a gold band made by the late Queen 's jeweller, Cleave and Company, however following the birth of their son Prince Archie in 2019 Meghan's ring was modified so the diamonds are set on a thin micro-pavé band.
