Why Zara Tindall's £140k engagement ring from Mike is more practical than other royals
November 17, 2022 - 12:02 GMT Rachel Avery Royal engagement rings tend to be both stunning and sentimental – think Princess Kate's rock that previously belonged to Princess Diana, for example – but former rugby union player Mike Tindall also had practicality in mind when he was designing his wife Zara rock.
The I'm a Celebrity star proposed to Princess Anne's daughter in 2010 with a split platinum band featuring glittering pavé diamonds, which is estimated to be worth £140,000 . The pretty accessory features a single solitaire diamond that was thought to deliberately have a low profile setting, in order to accommodate Zara's sporting career.
This meant that Olympian Zara wouldn't need to remove her precious gem while competing in equestrian events. In fact, she was spotted wearing it alongside her wedding band at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in 2022, after removing her blue gloves. The couple tied the knot at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh in July 2011 in front of senior members of the royal family, including her late grandparents Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and cousins Prince William and Prince Harry.On the day, Zara looked stunning in an ivory silk dress fashioned by designer Stewart Parvin, one of her grandmother Queen Elizabeth’s favourite couturiers, with a fitted bodice, sheer straps and a full skirt.
