The limited edition jewellery has been named the Meghan Sparkle, and it's made with an emerald-cut cubic zirconia set between two brilliant-cut stones on a yellow gold-plated band.

It's also stamped on the inside with 19.05.18 - the date when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are due to tie-the-knot.

The former actress's actual diamond engagement ring was designed by her fiancé, and made using two diamonds from Diana, Princess of Wales's personal collection and a central diamond sourced from Botswana.

Clair Albone, jewellery buyer at Argos, said the sale of engagement rings at the company had jumped 22 per cent compared to last year, as the nation gears up for their nuptials.

She described the Meghan Sparkle ring as "a classic choice at a price that doesn't require a royal budget".

The ring comes in a gift box with a picture of the London skyline and inscribed with the royal wedding date - which could prove a hit among collectors.

It's available in three sizes, small, medium and large, and the retailer describes it as the "perfect token to  commemorate the royal wedding day".
