Princess Charlene was spotted wearing her rarely-seen engagement ring amid rumours surrounding her marriage to Prince Albert.
Prince Albert II of Monaco, 66, and Princess Charlene of Monaco, 46, attended the Sainte Devote Rugby Tournament at Stade Louis II over the weekend.
Charlene donned her stunning ring for the occasion, which includes a massive three-carat, pear-cut diamond flanked by smaller diamonds in triangular arrangements.
The princess rarely wears the accessory for an unknown reason, often photographed bare-fingered at official royal events.

The ring was crafted by Parisian jeweller Repossi, a leading name in handcrafted jewels.
Charlene's ring is bespoke, making it a unique design, and jewellery experts have predicted the piece to be worth a whopping £50,000.
The mother-of-two wearing her engagement ring comes as her husband, Prince Albert, lifted the lid on the rumours surrounding their marriage.
The Prince of Monaco said his family and the public support him despite all the negativity directed towards The House of Grimaldi.

Speaking last month, he said: "Thankfully, my whole family is there for me, showering me with their affection, both my immediate family and the extended family of Monegasque."
The royal continued to tell Paris Match: "She [Charlene] was also very upset for me, and saddened by certain things that came out in the media.
"We supported each other. She has resumed many of her activities, more public engagements, to everyone’s delight."
