How much did Eugenie's ring cost?
The oval cut, salmon-coloured sparkler, surrounded by diamonds and set on a gold band, is a rare type of gem corundum and an unusual choice for an engagement ring.
At first glance, it bears a striking resemblance to the rock Eugenie's father proposed to her mother with in 1986 - however Fergie's ring was set with a pink Burma ruby.
And experts have predicted Eugenie's ring cost a relatively modest £7,000 compared to her mother's rumoured £25,000 sparkler.
The Duchess of York's engagement ring, which was made by Diana's jewellers Garrard, was valued at around £25,000 for the stone alone, according to Hello!, which is the equivalent of £71,350 in today's money.
Sophie Lomax, head of design at 77diamonds.com, Europe’s largest online diamond retailer, estimates the price of Eugenie's rock at £7,000, as she believes the colour of the padparadscha sapphire looks stronger than a completely natural one; colour treated gemstones are generally not as pricey as natural untreated ones.
'The ring is a similar but a modern update to her mother's, with the cluster style being vintage whilst celebrating the centre stone.
'Coloured gems stones in engagement rings are becoming increasingly popular as women like to wear designs which are more personal to them and their partner.
'The ring features approximately a 2 carat oval padparadscha with around 1.5 carat of pear-shaped diamond in the cluster, set onto a yellow gold band.'
