Jack Brooksbank slipped a new Welsh gold wedding ring on his bride Princess Eugenie‘s finger when they exchanged vows on Friday. Jack, however, chose not to receive a wedding band, following in Prince William’s footsteps. The royal family has been using pure Welsh gold for their wedding rings since the Queen Mother’s wedding in 1923. Eugenie will wear the gold band, gifted by Queen Elizabeth, in addition to her sparkling engagement ring, which features a blush-colored padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds, and bears resemblance to her mom Sarah Ferguson’s own engagement ring.
