To those inquiring about Queen Sonja's engagement ring... Actually, I believe that the engagement ring that Mette-Marit wears is one that has passed down in the family. Crown Princess Märtha was the first to wear it, then Harald gave it to Sonja, and now Haakon has given it to Mette-Marit.

Anyone's free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.

I have an old book about different royals, and in that it says that Harald and Sonja went into a jewelrystore and picked out the cheapest rings they could find. His kosted 63 kr. and her ring kosted 61 kr. In his she wrote "your Sonja", in her ring he wrote "your Harald"...

That might have been rings they bought before they were officially engaged... because I just found the link where I read the previous news: http://tux1.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/d177664.htm (The Press Conference following Haakon and Mette-Marit's engagement)

I'll try to see if I can find a picture from the press conference that was held when Harald and Sonja became engaged.

Someone can explain me why Infanta Elena and Queen Sophia doesn't wear the engagement rings? Why the kings os spain and the dukes of lugo wear the wedding ring in the little figger?

Are you sure? It could be on their right ring finger. For some reason that I don' know, some Catholics wear their wedding rings on the right finger. As the the Queen and the Infanta's engagement rings, engagement rings aren't as important as the wedding ring. It could have just been a, sort of place-holder for the wedding ring.

The women of the Brueian royal family, especially the Queen, wear spectacular jewels not just on special occasions, but on their official duties. Its not so much about display I think, because everyone already knows how incredibly wealthy they are, its more like tradition. That just seems to be the way they do things.
