No gemstone represents the beauty, majesty, and exclusivity of royalty quite like the sapphire. That’s part of the reason why many queens and princesses throughout history, including Cleopatra, Catherine the Great of Russia, and the Empress Josephine of France, have desired to possess the most gorgeous sapphire jewelry in the world.
The inextricable link between sapphires and royalty continues even today, as exemplified by Queen Elizabeth II, the late Princess Diana, and the rest of the British royal family.
The enchanting Princess Diana, whose sense of style and fashion once fueled worldwide trends, was particularly fond of brilliant Ceylon sapphires from the island of Sri Lanka.
In fact, her cherished engagement ring featured an 18-carat oval cut Ceylon sapphire encircled by 14 diamonds and set in 18K white gold. The stunning ring was subsequently passed on from her son Prince William to the current Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, igniting a copycat buying frenzy after news of their engagement broke.
