Meghan Markle appeared to break with tradition in a new photo she posted on social media. The Duchess of Sussex took to her brand As Ever’s official Instagram account on Wednesday to post a new snap featuring her teas.
Meghan’s snap showed the Duchess spooning a tea mixture into a tea bag, captioning it: “Simplici-tea”. While various other glass jars and fruit tarts could be seen in the picture, it was the Duchess’s stunning ring stack that was in clear view.
But according to jewellery experts, she was wearing her three rings in a “non-traditional arrangement”.
Meghan wore her engagement ring first, followed by her eternity band and her Welsh gold wedding band.
The move is considered unconventional by some, as the wedding band is typically worn first with it being closest to the heart.
Now a jewellery expert gave their insights into Meghan’s new ring arrangement.
Ann Grimmet, of Jared Jewelers, told The Knot, as per GB News: “Traditionally, the wedding band is worn closest to the heart, meaning it’s placed on the finger first, followed by the engagement ring.
“However, like so many aspects of weddings today, it’s really about personal preference.”
Jewellers Beaverbooks said on their website: “Tradition states it’s your wedding ring first, engagement ring second and then finally your eternity ring.”
Meghan is known to experiment with her ring arrangement regularly.
Last month, when attending a TIME100 Summit in New York, she wore her wedding band first, followed by her eternity ring and her engagement ring.
