Celebrity jeweler Kyle Chan spared no expense when it came to creating Brittany Cartwright‘s wedding bling.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star, 30, sported a 19-carat emerald-cut aquamarine ring worth a whopping $25,000 when she tied the knot with Jax Taylor, 39, last Saturday.
“It’s something blue, so if you do a little research, all the princesses in the past, like Princess Diana, Princess Meghan, they all have an aquamarine ring,” Chan recently told Page Six Style.
“It represents happiness and wealth, and most of the princesses when they get married they also have their something blue — sometimes aquamarine, sometimes sapphire,” he continued. “So I told Brittany, ‘You’re getting married in a castle with a princess theme, you gotta have something blue, you gotta have an aquamarine ring just like a princess.'”
Markle, 37, memorably sported Princess Di’s aquamarine ring to her wedding reception after marrying Prince Harry last May.
Cartwright’s enormous blue sparkler was far from the only jewelry she wore on her big day; she also exchanged diamond wedding bands with Taylor (hers were worth about $10,000) and wore her cushion-cut engagement ring (estimated at $70,000), both also designed by Chan.
