The original values at almost $1 million is a timeless classic but Wal Mart wanted to give it's customers a taste of royalty for a fraction of the price. The ring went on sale April 8, the date of the Royal Wedding. Only 1000 pieces have been manufactured.
The original ring, made in the 1920s was a gift by the future King George VI to his wife Elizabeth when she was pregnant with the present Queen, Elizabeth II.
