12 Royal Engagement Rings That Will Make Your Eyes Pop

The stone in Princess Eugenie's ring is the most unusual of the royal brides' — most of us were left thinking "padpa-what?" when it was revealed that the jewel is a peachy pink padparadscha sapphire. The Sri Lankan jewel is classed as a corundum, which most commonly means a red ruby or a blue sapphire, so the stone in Eugenie's ring is both incredibly rare and probably one of the most expensive of the royal brides'. Padparadscha is actually Sinhalese for the aquatic pink/orange lotus blossom, and the princess's jewel is set in 12 diamonds on a yellow gold band.
