Even the royals can appreciate a little extra sparkle.
It’s hard to imagine a more iconic engagement ring than the late Princess Diana’s 12-carat sapphire and diamond design. And its precise heirlooms – accompanied by the rarest Welsh gold band – can feel like part of a uniform when it was on the ring finger for most of 15 years.
Recently, Kate Middleton has been showing some new, shiny gems. No, we’re not mentioning the lover’s knot tiara she wore at last week’s state dinner.
The 43-year-old Princess of Wales recently added a perennial band of diamonds and sappers to her wedding fingers, as seen at the funeral of Catherine, the Duchess of Kent last week.
As confirmed in town and country, the ring, made by Royal Jewelers’ G. Collins & Sons, was first discovered in the summer and is the latest addition to Middleton’s sparkling stack.
Two other bands – the Anushka Diamond Eternity Ring, believed to be a gift from Prince William after Prince George’s birth, and the simple platinum band that also appears to feature small diamonds, concludes Quintet.
When filmed as much as Middleton, we know that nothing passes past the Eagle’s eye spectators, especially when the zoom lens is involved. Stacking together will certainly trigger a plot.
Princess’s eternal band of sapphires and diamonds is considered to be a commemorative token that marks the completion of last year’s chemotherapy treatment.
Interestingly, the Royal stack features styles in both silver and gold shades. This is unusual, but very modern.
According to the Daily Mail, the Princess’ five-ring stack is “a quiet evolution of royal jewelry, preferring modern personal symbolism for form,” which is very consistent with Middleton’s style over the years.
Despite all the crown jewels at their disposal, there is something special about Middleton’s ongoing sentiment and practicality when it comes to jewelry.
When she dumps Diana’s stunning sapphire rings, she may be strategically focusing on herself and the message of events. Similarly, she may praise the late Queen with a pair of pearls, or close George, Charlotte and Louis with their first necklace.
The princess has the ability to speak volume without saying words. All she has to do is make it an accessory.
