Their engagement ring holds plenty of meaning and is designed by Prince Harry itself. A combination of the past and present, the large Blue Sapphire to the center of the engagement ring was sourced from Botswana (the couple spent time there during their courtship) and the two smaller round diamonds to the sides were from his late mother, Princess Diana’s jewellery collection.

Kate Middleton and Prince William

Even though the wedding between Catherine Middleton (byname: Kate) and William, Duke of Cambridge happened a long time back (2011), their astounding blue sapphire engagement ring remains a phenomenon. It was a 12-carat oval-cut ring surrounded by smaller yet beautiful 14 solitaire diamonds, set in 18-carat white gold. 

 

The history of the Blue Sapphire and the Royal family dates back to the 1840s when Prince Albert (Husband to Queen Victoria) decided to make a diamond brooch (designed by a British jeweller Garrard) for his future wife, Queen Victoria. The Queen loved the gift so much that she decided to wear it to her wedding. She wore it until her husband’s death in 1861 thus becoming a crown heirloom. The brooch has been worn by Queen Elizabeth II on many occasions. Later, when Prince Charles was looking for a suitable ring for his ladylove, Princess Diana, he ended up setting a cluster ring with a blue sapphire diamond set to the middle (inspired from the brooch). Prince William will eventually inherit the crown jewels along with the blue sapphire brooch.

The ring from her previous engagement with Taylor Kinney, the famous heart-shaped diamond was a hit. The 6-carat diamond ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz with their initials T <3 S (S stands for her real name, Stefani) engraved to it symbolised their ring. When Christian Carino proposed to the diva, we never thought he could upstage her old engagement ring. Her new engagement ring features a pink sapphire (or Padparadscha sapphire) with a diamond halo. The estimate shows that the centre stone would be of 6-carats or more and that of the halo diamonds would be 4-carats.
