This ring features an eleven carat blue sapphire valued at over $200,000. It is a wonderful royal jewel, since this was the ring that Prince Charles William gave to Diana Spencer, as a token of his commitment. Its design was chosen by Princess Diana herself in a catalog of the exclusive Garrards jewelry. It is said that this House was the only one that provided jewels to the royal family.
Diana’s ring, also known as Lady Di, was last seen in 1996, days before the divorce of this famous royal couple was signed. This little jewel of great value, was the cover of many famous magazines, since at that time, no one had seen such a splendid and expensive jewel.
Lady Diana Frances Spencer was born in Paris on July 1, 1961, and was the first wife of Prince Charles of Wales. During the time that she was married to Prince Charles, Diana had two sons, William Cambridge and Henry of Wales. This royal couple began to have problems in the early 90s, where the distance between them became more and more noticeable. Princess Diana, due to the harassment of the «paparazzi» and the press, gave an interview to a famous television network clarifying everything regarding her marriage and the reason for the separation; knowing then that infidelity was the cause of all the problems.
Diana Spencer and Charles of Wales officially separated on August 28, 1996, making her the only princess to ever divorce from the United Kingdom. Despite all the commotion caused by the divorce, Lady Di was still able to live in the famous palace, and also maintain a good relationship with the royal family, so that her children were not affected and could raise them normally.
Something that caused quite a stir was the news of the death of Diana Spencer on August 31, 1997, in a tragic traffic accident, where the high speed at which her driver was driving, was combined with the lack of a seat belt, to lead her to death. In this car, she was accompanied by her partner at the time, Dodi al Fayed, who also died, along with the driver.
The famous ring is still among royalty; because his son William proposed to him to his current wife Kate Middleton. Due to the great fame that the precious jewel regained, hundreds of Garment Houses have made exact replicas of this intriguing wedding ring. Interestingly, perhaps this famous ring will have to be renamed Kate Middleton’s ring.
