“Ms. Markle’s ring has been fashioned from a piece of Welsh Gold, gifted by her Majesty The Queen. Prince Harry’s ring will be a Platinum Band with a textured finish,” the palace tweeted.
The two rings were crafted by Cleave and Company and will both be carried by the Duke of Cambridge who will serve as Harry’s best man, the palace told Fox News.
Cleave and Company, which was established in London in 2001, holds two “Royal Warrants” granted to the workshop by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.

ROYAL GUESTS TELL ALL AHEAD OF BIG DAY
The wedding band will fit next to the bride-to-be’s engagement ring, which Harry designed. Two of the stones in Markle’s wedding ring belonged to Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
William also honored his mother’s memory by giving his wife, Kate Middleton, Diana’s 12-carat sapphire engagement ring.
