Here's a Close-Up Look at Pippa Middleton’s New Engagement Ring

Pippa Middleton has a new fiancé—and, of course, a sparkly new engagement ring. Yes, Kate Middleton's sister said yes to a proposal from financier James Matthews last weekend, as well as this sparkler:

Pippa’s engagement ring appears to feature an Asscher-cut diamond set in a diamond halo. We’d guess the center stone is around three carats and the setting is platinum. There’s no word on the price yet, but most of the three-carat Asscher-cut diamonds we spotted on Blue Nile were around the $60,000 range.

So how does Pippa's new ring stack up to the other Middleton sister’s engagement ring, which was first worn by Diana, princess of Wales? Here are the details on that bauble: Prince Charles presented Diana with a selection of rings after his proposal. She hand-picked the now-iconic blue sapphire ring. When Kate and William's engagement was announced, Prince William said the ring was "my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out." Its current estimated value: $430,590.

Hey, we’d gladly take either. (Or both. Can we have both?)
