Both of Princess Madeleine of Sweden’s engagement rings followed royal Swedish tradition

Princess Madeleine of Sweden became engaged for the first time on August 11, 2009. Her fiancé was the Swedish lawyer, Jonas Bergström. Madeleine said in her engagement interview that they became engaged in Capri in early June 2009.

But what did this engagement ring look like?

All of Sweden’s royal ladies have stuck to diamonds for their marriages, and Princess Madeleine is no exception.

Jonas Bergstrom got down on bended knee with an emerald cut diamond ring.

The diamond engagement ring was simple with a silver band, and one gorgeous emerald jewel shining in the centre.

However, this marriage was not to be.

After her relationship ended, Madeleine moved to New York City, where she worked for the World Childhood Foundation, the organisation her mother co-founded.
