Prince Harry's Ex Cressida Bonas Got Engaged With a Spectacularly Rare Ring
Congratulations are in order: Cressida Bonas just got engaged to Harry Wentworth-Stanley while in Nantucket. The groom-to-be shared the news on Instagram with a sweet selfie and a simple caption: "We getting married." They look cute and all, but we immediately zeroed in on Bonas's unique engagement ring. How stunning is the piece of jewellery? With gold and ruby accents encircling the center diamond, it's far from your average diamond solitaire ring. According to British Vogue, the style is known as a "target ring" and comes from the art deco era.
Of course, we all know Bonas as one of Prince Harry's most memorable ex-girlfriends. Refreshingly, they've remained friends and he even invited Bonas to his already-iconic wedding to Meghan Markle. Plus, she's so tight with the Royal family that she also attended Princess Eugenie's wedding. Only time will tell if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be making an appearance at Bonas's wedding—but you can bet we're waiting with bated breath to find out.

This piece was originally published on Who What Wear US.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
