I feel like "redesign" is an exaggeration even if it's technically true. All she did was change the band. I was expecting to click the link and find a totally different ring lolI know, right! It's not like she upgraded the diamonds, lol. I looooove the one with the thin pave band though so I realize I am biased.

Sorry, I'm calling it a redesign because that's the term used when you change a setting. I could say "reset in a new semi mount" if I was being really technical? I'm not shitting on her for it, just saying that it was something that struck me as odd at the time. It was a thing that caught my interest based on the fact that it's how I earned a living for a long time.

He spent time on the whole ring design - in the interview, he said that he chose yellow gold because it was her favorite (and she did/does wear more delicate y/g pieces). I actually thought the original suited her more, classic, elegant, and timeless. I preferred it to Kate's. The Lorraine Schwartz design looks like something you can get at Jared tbh. Like I said, based on my professional experience working with literally hundreds of couples who got engaged, the relatively quick redesign was always an awkward situation. One that I headed off by picking my own ring and band. I'm comfortable sitting alone on this bench. My moms a jeweler and some of the Ering stories she has are NUTS. The worst were the people who were pushing for rings way, way, way outside of the budget, with one woman screaming at her soon to be fiancé "JUST GET AN EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT" In her experience of over 30 years doing this there was only one occasion that stood out where the quick redesign wasn't awkward/ridiculous. You just reminded me of the time we made the most show offy wedding band - like, 4.00 carats - and added more side diamonds to the already enormous engagement ring because that's what the bride wanted. And we had to chase the groom down for more than a year for final payment because my boss let them take the rings (he was trying to schmooze and the dude acted like a baller).

Omid Scobee looks like he is 15. It just makes it seem so much more like the generational clash it is.

Before After I like the new e-ring band and how it frames the gold wedding band with the diamond eternity ring.

I do think that as much as people say that Kate dresses a way because of her position I think Meghan was afraid to take risks too but since she was leaving she was all COLOR AND CAPES and amazing

Before After They’re different angles, so hard to tell but the new band looks slightly slimmer to me. More dainty. I like my ring too but do wish sometimes the band was smaller so I’m practically MM-level style. ::hair flip::

I liked the original just because it was so simply beautiful and classic, and I feel like we see so many pave bands and big bling on celebs that a classically gorgeous ring was lovely to me. It's a beautiful ring either way but it definitely has a more trendy look now.

Do we know what happened to the older daughter and why she has a cane? At first I thought it was a bloody bandage until I zoomed in and saw it was tape! The other daughter’s dress has a cute print but the flare overwhelms her small frame.

Do we know what happened to the older daughter and why she has a cane? I think that’s actually the younger one, Sofia, with the cane. All I’ve been able to find is that she hurt herself at the palace, her injury required stitches, and that she’s been use a crutch to get around. None of the stories I’ve read (English or Spanish) have gone into greater detail than that.

She also reportedly said she was "very clever and good at understanding what's required" Meghan cried before final royal engagement as she said goodbye to staff who had become "like family" and told staff "I can't believe this" Meghan was bundled into back of car during "intense and scary" SAS training after receiving a large number of threats Hackers stole hundreds of Meghan and Harry's wedding photos, including snaps of the Queen www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/9-explosive-claims-meghan-markle-22499284

Some other articles and forums I have seen have been semi shading her about this, as if she were being bratty about it. "Harry spent all this time designing the ring and she went and changed it as soon as she could" etc. I would get that take if she had changed the setting (especially if she upgraded the diamonds, lol) but changing the band seems like a minor switch to me 🤷 I feel like it's one of those BEC things. If you already don't like her, this is further evidence of her being ungrateful and bratty. If you do like her, then it's nbd.
