Markle has been rocking her diamond engagement ring since Harry proposed back in November, but the wedding ring is, of course, a whole other story. Markle received a simple Cleave and Company wedding band. Following in [Windsor family tradition](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/theroyalfamily/8137229/Royal-wedding-ring-to-be-made-from-Welsh-gold.html), it’s fashioned from a piece rare Welsh gold from the Queen. A practice his great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, kicked off in the early 20th century, royal brides in the family are gifted wedding bands crafted from nuggets of Welsh gold from the now-defunct Clogau St. David’s Gold Mine. Because gold mining is currently inactive in Wales, the gold is especially valuable. Markle is in good company with her newest accessory: the Duchess of Cambridge [Kate Middleton](http://time.com/5192470/royal-baby-name-louis-arthur-charles/), Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Diana and the Queen have all also worn the Welsh gold rings. The wedding band joins her engagement ring, which also has yellow gold for a band, and [features diamonds](http://time.com/5038357/prince-harry-meghan-markle-interview/) from a Botswana mine and from Princess Diana’s own collection. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5274561/meghan-markle-wedding-ring/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5274561/meghan-markle-wedding-ring/"},"headline":"Everything to Know About Meghan Markle's Wedding Ring","datePublished":"2018-05-19T09:07:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:49.418Z","description":"It's a rare and special piece","url":"https://time.com/5274561/meghan-markle-wedding-ring/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royal wedding","meghan markle"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt49a598c0ead88237/69892f8622fb85b062e25875/gettyimages-951694088.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt49a598c0ead88237/69892f8622fb85b062e25875/gettyimages-951694088.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Attend Anzac Day Services","caption":"Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Attend Anzac Day Services","creditText":"Max Mumby/Indigo—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5274561/meghan-markle-wedding-ring/","name":"Everything to Know About Meghan Markle's Wedding Ring"}}]}] ```
