PR proposed with this ring and only later gave her the big diamond ring

From "once upon a time" by J.Randy Taraborrelli page 126:

"on her finger she flashed what would be a temporary ring: a band set with diamonds and rubies. Rainier told her he was having a ring created especially for her with emarald-cut diamonds"

This is not her engagement ring. Maybe he gave this to her to wear while the emerald cut one was being made. I know the one from High Society was a BIG ring.
