Princess Anne, 72, wears a beautiful engagement ring from her second husband, Timothy Laurence. Her daughter Zara Tindall, 41, wears an equally stunning ring from her husband Mike Tindall.<\/p>\n
Royal engagement rings are remarkable due to the legacy they will leave, their history, and their beauty.<\/p>\n
Whether they were designed by a court jeweller, another designer, or even inherited from another Royal Family member, fans are inspired by their designs which are usually very expensive.<\/p>\n
However, while some engagement rings such as Kate Middleton’s tend to capture the limelight, others take a more subtle approach.<\/p>\n
Unlike many of the Royal Family rings which feature precious gemstones and diamonds up to 12 carats, both Princess Anne and Zara Tindall opted for low-key engagement rings.<\/p>\n

Engagement ring specialists at UK retailer Steven Stone have shared everything fans need to know about the rings, including their secret similarities.<\/p>\n
Diamond Expert, Maxwell Stone, said: “While the two rings both have different designs and include different stones – Princess Anne’s features a three-carat sapphire and Zara’s features a 1.5-carat diamond – they do have one thing in common.<\/p>\n
“Both of the rings are notably understated in comparison to many other famous engagement rings, which ensures that the royals can wear them on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n
“Both rings feature modest stones, especially in comparison to Kate Middleton’s 12-carat Ceylon sapphire, which is worth around a staggering \u00a3300,000.”<\/p>\n
Princess Anne\u2019s engagement ring from Tim contains a three-carat oval-cut cabochon sapphire.<\/p>\n
This is framed by a cluster of three small diamonds on either side.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s very similar to her first engagement ring from her first husband, Mark Phillips.<\/p>\n
This ring also featured an oval sapphire stone and clusters of diamonds.<\/p>\n

Princess Anne received sapphire engagement rings both times as opposed to traditional diamond rings, which suggests she feels a connection to this precious gemstone.<\/p>\n
According to Steven Stone experts, on today\u2019s market, a ring like this would be worth around \u00a325,000.<\/p>\n
When Mike Tindall proposed to Zara, he chose a four-claw split shoulder design with several pav\u00e9 set diamonds, complete with a single solitaire diamond in the centre.<\/p>\n
A lot of thought went into Zara\u2019s engagement ring design, with Mike taking into consideration his future wife\u2019s equestrian career.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reported that the ring deliberately has a low profile setting, allowing Zara to still be able to wear it while competing in equestrian events.<\/p>\n
The ring combines a traditional style with a twist of modern design.<\/p>\n
The classic round diamond looks to be around 1.5 carats, giving the ring an estimated value of around \u00a315,000, according to Steven Stone.<\/p>\n
However, considering it\u2019s worn by the granddaughter of the late Queen, it comes with a legacy which likely makes it priceless.<\/p>\n
