By @couturebusiness ・・・ Lady Diana Spencer and Charles Prince of Wales, became engaged in February 1981. Her engagement ring consist of 14 solitaire diamonds surrounding a 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire set in a 18-karat gold white gold. It was created by jeweler Garrard and cost at the time, 28,000 pounds sterlings. Diana's selection of this ring was unusual. It was neither custom-made nor unique and was, at the time of her engagement to Charles, featured in Garrad's jewellery collection and available to anyone for purchase. Some commentators say Diana selected it because it reminded her of her mother's engagement ring. After Diana's death, Princes William and Harry selected mementos from their mother's possession. Harry chose the engagement ring, while William selected Diana's £19.000 yellow gold Cartier Tank Francaise watch. They eventually exchanged mementos. When Prince William proposed to Catherine Middleton in the fall 2010, he gave her the ring. The ring has a deep personal significance for Catherine. Prince William said at the time of his wedding, that the ring was very special to him and that giving it to Catherine was his way of making sure his mother did not miss out on his wedding day. After the engagement, some called the ring the "Commoner's Saphire", a reference to the bride's non-royal origins. Other considered the ring a tragic symbol associated with Diana's failed marriage to the Prince of Wales and untimely death in car in Paris. #royal #ring #jewellery #royalring #ring #royalty #princess #princessDiana #princessCatherine #dutchessCatherine #britain #london #english #fahsionblog #princewilliam #princeharry #elizabeththesecond #royalwedding
