The Princess Diana Ring

We have always remembered Princess Diana wearing the famous sapphire-and-diamond cluster Marguerite ring. The Princess of Wales was considered as the most influential style icon of the 20th century. Princess Diana may have been the ‘People's Princess’, but her jewelry box was nothing short of a royal treasure. It consisted of her signature pearl chokers, sparkly tiaras, blingy headbands, and the most iconic of them all, her stunning Sapphire engagement ring. Popularly known as the Princess Diana ring, even after four decades, the royal wedding ring is considered one of the most recognizable pieces of jewels in history.

As re-enacted on season four of the Netflix series ‘The Crown’, where she was asked to choose the priceless accessory for her engagement by Queen Elizabeth II, she chose a 12 carat Oval Ceylon Blue Sapphire ring surrounded with 14 solitaire diamonds in 18KT white gold. The choice of the engagement ring truly reflected her nature and the background she belonged to. It was a catalogue item of the official jeweller of the royal family and no royal stone was involved in the making. Unlike many royal brides, she chose the ring, not because of its expensiveness but because the sapphire gemstone twirling in her fourth finger reflected the color of her eyes ‘blue’ and reminded her of her mother’s engagement ring. It precisely reflected the commitment, love, promise, trust, and care for the family she was marrying into.

While the world was captivated by the young royals, the Lady Diana ring became an object of desire for the commoners. It spawned endless imitations as soon as the world fell in love with the young princess-to-be.

Blue Sapphire – The Royal Gemstone

Named from the Greek word ‘sapherios’ and the Latin word ‘saphirus’ both denoting blue color, Sapphire is a September birthstone. History links Blue Sapphire gemstones to royalty and its association with wisdom. Kings and Queens treasured its dazzling shade, believing Sapphires protected them from harm and envy. That is probably why Princess Diana was always inclined towards her sapphire ring as she was destined to be the Princess of the royal kingdom.
