This isn't the first time the Sussexes tapped Schwartz's design skills. For his first wedding anniversary, Prince Harry collaborated with the jewelry designer to build an eternity ring for the Duchess of Sussex. The ring features an emerald, sapphire, and peridot stone—the birthstones of Harry, Meghan, and Archie. Harry also had Schwartz resize and reset Meghan’s engagement ring with a new diamond band.
