What was a gold band was now thinner and diamond-studded.
The ring was made by Court Jewelers Cleave and Company and Harry designed it.
It contains diamonds from his late mother Princess Diana's collection and a centre diamond from Botswana.
He revealed why he chose it during the couple's first sit-down interview with the BBC after they announced their engagement.
He said, ''The ring is obviously yellow gold because that's [Meghan's] favourite and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds either side are from my mother's jewellery collection, to make sure that she's with us on this crazy journey together.''
At Trooping the Colour, Meghan also debuted the eternity ring Prince Harry gifted her for the first wedding anniversary.

We for one will be draping ourself in these jewels, what about you?
One of our favourite jewellery designers, Chupi Sweetman, has said that she is "overwhelmed and incredibly happy" after winning the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award at the prestigious UK Jewellery Awards 2018.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit category was awarded for the first time this year, to recognise an inspiring individual who has shown great determination, leadership and ambition to build a successful business.
“I’m utterly overwhelmed and incredibly happy to win the Entrepreneurial Spirit award," Chupi, who founded Chupi in 2013, said after the event.
"It was surreal to be at the event surrounded by some of the most brilliant designers from around the world – I felt lucky just to be shortlisted but to win was something really special."
Talking about her dream to make "beautiful jewellery" in Ireland, Chupi admitted that many people thought she was crazy when she first started out.
However, after her big win on Wednesday, the designer, whose inspiration comes from the imperfect beauty of wild and natural things like feathers and twigs, admits that her dream now feels real.
"Everyone thought I was crazy, but standing on stage in London, winning our first international award, it all feels so incredibly real, and it’s all thanks to the love and support of our customers.”
The annual awards night took place at London’s Artillery Gardens on Wednesday 4 July, seeing more than 700 members of the watch and jewellery world come together to celebrate the industry’s achievements over the past 12 months.
Well done, Chupi – we're absolutely delighted for you.
Chupi Jewellery has warmed our hearts with this incredibly moving gesture. The Dublin designer Chupi and her team kindly created 280 necklaces for each of the Magdalene Laundry survivors.
The heartwarming gesture has strengthened our love of Chupi and everything she does.
She tweeted about the touching project: “For #DublinHonoursMagadalenes we made a necklace for each of the 280 women who experienced the horror of the Magdalene laundries. My brilliant team spent yesterday making, packing and writing cards to these brave women. Thank you @NorahCasey for making it possible to honour them.”

The necklaces were wrapped up in dainty little Chupi boxes and sent to the women who were being honoured in Dublin this week.
Founder of the jewellery company Chupi Sweetman and the team have received waves of praise with the tweet receiving nearly 800 likes.
Vivienne Flood of RTÉ wrote: “What a lovely thought. Congratulations and thanks to both of you for all your efforts to honour these courageous women on all our behalf.”
You got a huge cheer from all the women when I announced it – we’re just about to give them out before lunch – thank you so much to you and your team from all of us at #DublinHonoursMagadaleneshttps://t.co/jFbopv9juB
Anna Geary shared, “A beautiful thing to do for these women xx”
Another Twitter user wrote: “What a lovely thing to do for these ladies. Well done everyone involved.”
Earlier this week, the survivors were honoured at two events in the capital. It is understood that women travelled from all around the world to visit Dublin for this historic occasion.
The survivors were honoured at a garden party at Áras an Uachtaráin hosted by President Michael D Higgins and later attended a gala dinner at Mansion House.
“Today, here in Áras an Uachtaráin as President of Ireland, mar Uachtarán na hÉireann, I apologise to you – the survivors of the Magdalene regime.”https://t.co/z9ZH5HHE5qpic.twitter.com/8aE5UyDfkR

It is believed that at least 10,000 women passed through the doors of Magdalene Laundries in Ireland from 1922 to 1996.
The President acknowledged how women were failed by the State which should have 'had your welfare at its core.'
Ambassador for Dublin Honours Magdalenes, Norah Casey shared, “This event is not about celebration, it’s about dignity and respect.”
If you have been watching Lisa's videos, you must also have noticed the gorgeous rings she sports as she applies makeup. And you are not the only one.
Designed by William Welstead, the rings that she stacks have been her signature and apparently, they have been inspiring countless copycats.
“When I noticed companies were selling rings using my name, that was the moment I was like, ‘This is crazy,’ ” said Eldridge to Vogue.
Her passion for the gems has made her become a close friend of Welstead and the pair has collaborated to create the Lisa Eldridge Collection, launching tomorrow at London Dover Street Market.
Consisting of 25 gold and sterling silver rings, the collection is set with stone shades reminding the colour palette of an eye shadow box. All the stones have been sourced by Welstead in Bangkok and India.
As for the price point, the collection will be more affordable than Welstead's namesake work, ranging from 400 to 750 euros.
If the content of your jewellery box represents a whole host of treasured memories, then it's very likely you view your collection through a sentimental eye.
More than just an accessory or adornment, jewellery – for you – symbolises cherished relationships, poignant moments and heartfelt unions.
Whether the happy recipient or choosing for someone else, you need your jewellery to have meaning and significance, right?
Here at SHEmazing, we're with you on that one which is why we're so enchanted by Thomas Sabo's Together series.
The series symbolises the bond between two people as a sign of eternal love, with the exquisite “Forever Together” ring the clear stand-out of the stunning series.
The festive season is fast approaching, and whether you like it or not, it's high time we start finalising those shopping lists, and begin the hunt for the perfect Christmas gifts.
And if you've got a Hogwarts fan in your life, that search is about to get a whole lot easier.

Universal Standard, a clothing line which caters for women between sizes 10-28, are all about setting the standard.
Indeed, their online mission statement declares: "We had become tired of making compromises, of always settling for what "worked" instead of what we really wanted, of sacrificing freedom of choice and personal style because of an arbitrary dividing line determined by size."
A post shared by Universal Standard (@universalstandard) on
"No more compromising. It's time to #SetTheStandard," they insist.
And it looks like they are no longer happy to simply set the standard when it comes to a woman's wardrobe, now have their sights set on her jewellery box.
A post shared by Universal Standard (@universalstandard) on
Speaking to Glamour magazine, the brand's co-founder, Alexandra Waldman, explained that mainstream jewellery has often presented issues for both herself and their plus-sizes customers.
“I know from personal experience that finding beautiful modern pieces of jewellery that fit and look native to my body type is nearly impossible,” she said.
A post shared by Universal Standard (@universalstandard) on
And with clothes and jewellery under their belt, Universal Standard aren't content to sit on their laurels.
"Jewellery is just the beginning. We want women above size 10 to feel like they have options, like things are getting better all the time. That's our reason for being."
And the pieces are far from pricey, with most starting at approximately €35.00.
Whether it’s a piece of jewellery you bought to style-up a tired ensemble or a delicate chain gifted to us in our teenage years, it’s rare you don’t remember how and why you came to own a particular piece.
