Camilla has a unique engagement ring with a sentimental tribute to baby Nell. "I wanted pink tourmalines to be added (Nell’s birthstone) as little Nell has completely changed our lives in a way we could never have imagined, I wanted her to be a part of this moment and therefore this ring," said Jamie.
