Cat Deeley has been keeping This Morning viewers on their toes with her unrivalled sense of style since she was put at the show's helm beside Ben Shephard in March.
But apart from the TV presenter's impeccable dress sense, we have our eyes on her array of gorgeous gold jewels, with a certain ring grabbing the spotlight.

Her original engagement ring
Cat married her beau in a secret Italian ceremony in September 2012, just four months after the pair went public with their romance. Patrick presented his wife-to-be with the most gorgeous circular diamond engagement ring.

Not only is the ring, which Nilesh estimates to be worth £100,000 - £125,000, beautiful but it's also deeply symbolic. He explains: "Round diamonds are one of the most classic and popular shapes of engagement rings. The cut represents eternal love and is known for having connotations of trustworthiness and honesty. Those who favour round diamonds will often have a timeless sense of style and the shape will bring out the most sparkle."
Though Cat and Patrick got engaged over a decade ago, her ring continues to be a style prospective brides will favour in 2024. "As a classic choice for engagement rings, the timeless round diamond continues to be a favourite," Nilesh says.
The latest addition
Those who watch This Morning religiously will know that it is a different, more unique ring that Cat wears on her ring finger these days. Cat gets so Queen-coded wearing what has been reported that the incredible piece was a push present from her husband after she gave birth to their sons Milo, eight, and James, five.
Her ring is almost identical to the beautiful ring worn by Queen Camilla during day one of Royal Ascot 2021.

"Emerald cuts are an excellent choice if you’re looking for an eye-catching, sparkling ring and Cat Deeley’s is just that," he adds.

"Abelini saw a large peak in sales of emerald-shaped engagement rings at the end of 2023, and it’s a trend we expect to see continue into this year due to the stylish nature of the cut," Nilesh reveals.
"Statement jewellery also continues to be on the rise, so this bold engagement style ring, paired with a chunkier stacked ring plays into the trend of people embracing a mixed metal jewellery look this year."

Red carpet jewels
The former SMTV Live star showed off a third ring when she stepped onto the red carpet in 2015 for the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles wearing this dazzler.
