Hey everyone, so I’ve been totally obsessed with Princess Diana’s engagement ring lately. It’s just so iconic, you know? I had to dig into it and see what I could learn about it.
I started by just looking at pictures online. You’ve all seen it, right? That gorgeous sapphire surrounded by diamonds. I mean, just breathtaking. I read somewhere that it was inspired by a brooch that Queen Victoria wore on her wedding day as her “something blue.” Isn’t that such a sweet detail?
Then, I dove into the story of how Prince Charles picked it out. Turns out, it wasn’t custom-made like a lot of royal engagement rings. Can you believe it? He actually picked it from a catalog! Some people in the royal family were apparently a little miffed about that, but I think it makes the story even more interesting.
I learned that Prince Charles chose it because it reminded him of his grandmother and mother, and that it had a connection to Queen Victoria. It represents family and love. He picked it out just for Diana. So thoughtful, right?
Then I read about Prince Harry got the ring after Diana passed away. And later he gave it to William. What a precious gift to his brother, right?
Anyway, I just wanted to share my little deep dive into Princess Diana’s engagement ring. It’s such a beautiful piece of jewelry with such a rich history. It is great to know the story behind the ring!

Hope you all enjoyed this little ramble!
