We’ve all (appropriately) been paying attention to the diamond engagement ring that Meghan Markle debuted at Kensington Palace on Monday, but the ring wasn’t her only piece of jewelry at the photocall. Here’s a look at the petite earrings that Meghan wore for the couple’s big moment.

So far, Meghan clearly favors small, streamlined pieces of jewelry set in yellow gold. (How heartwarming was it that Prince Harry knew in the interview that yellow gold was her favorite? I love a man who listens about jewelry.) For the engagement photocall and interview, Meghan chose stud earrings from a Canadian jewelry brand, Maison Birks.

The earrings are made of 18-carat yellow gold and set with opals, a gorgeous gemstone that was the favorite of one of Harry’s ancestors, Prince Albert. Several pieces of royal jewelry prominently feature opals. Some, though, have historically thought that opals were bad omens. Glad to see that Meghan isn’t superstitious!

The “Plaisirs de Birks” earrings retail for $995. You can currently purchase them on the Maison Birks website. A coordinating pendant necklace is also available. It will be interesting to see whether Meghan is a “jewelry set” person like her new sister-in-law!

Yesterday, we got an official announcement, photos, an interview, and a big ol’ diamond ring, and now today, we know a lot more about when and where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding will take place.

Kensington Palace announced today that the wedding will take place in May 2018 at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor. (We’ll get a more specific date later.) The venue is an important one for the royal family. Along with many historical royal weddings, christenings, and funerals, Prince Charles and Camilla celebrated their wedding with a blessing service at Windsor in 2005, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex were married there in 1999.

Don’t let the word “chapel” fool you — St. George’s holds 800 people! It’s also the home of the Order of the Garter, and it’s the final resting place of many monarchs and royals, including Harry’s great-grandmother, the late Queen Mother. Fun (?) fact: Meghan and Harry will have to walk over the tomb of King Henry VIII on their way to the altar. Ah, history.

Harry’s plans echo those of his cousin, Peter Phillips, who married Autumn Kelly at St. George’s Chapel in May 2008, exactly ten years before Harry and Meghan’s scheduled nuptials. The May date also means that the Duchess of Cambridge, who is due to give birth in April, will likely be able to attend.

We also learned a few more things. The royal family is paying for much of the ceremony. There are tentative plans to televise the service (as was done for the weddings/blessings of Edward and Charles), but no details are apparently in place yet. Meghan will be baptized and confirmed into the Church of England before the wedding, and the service will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Queen and members of the royal family will attend the ceremony.

And we’ll get to see Harry and Meghan together again very soon: they have their first official joint engagement scheduled for Friday, when they’ll pay a call to Nottingham Academy to see the work of Full Effect, a project “offering children and young people inspiration and opportunities to raise aspirations.”

If any of you missed the big engagement interview from yesterday, here’s the royal family’s official link to it! Harry and Meghan chat about their relationship, the engagement ring, the royal family — and even the corgis, who have apparently already cozied up to the animal-loving future duchess.

Oh! And I almost forgot: I was a guest on the BBC 5 Live Breakfast Show this morning to discuss Meghan, Harry, and the engagement ring. If you’d like to listen, the program will be available for streaming online for the next 29 days. You can access it at this link. My short segment begins around the 1:25:00 mark. Enjoy!

Break out the champagne, magpies: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially engaged! I’ll be updating this post throughout the day as we get more information on the ring and the proposal, but feel free to use this post for discussion as events happen!

We’ve got details on the ring! According to Emily Andrews of The Sun, the ring was designed by Prince Harry himself. The gold ring is set with three diamonds: the larger central stone comes from Botswana, a place close to Harry’s heart, and it is flanked by a pair of diamonds that come from the collection of Harry’s late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

The thin gold band of the ring fits with the style of other rings commonly worn by Meghan. (See some examples from the Invictus Games over here!) The engagement ring was made by the current court jeweler, Cleave and Co.

The wedding is slated for Spring 2018, and, based on comments from the Archbishop of Canterbury this morning, it seems like it will be a church affair. Of course I’m hoping for a tiara — you can read about some of my picks for the bridal diadem over here!
