Incidentally, how the widely-copied ring was chosen was the beginning of a kerfuffle surrounding the iconic piece.
According toBustle, the Queen Mother’s engagement ring was also a sapphire with diamonds.
Meanwhile, Princess Anne went with a sapphire ring for both of her engagements.
But, it was hardly the sapphire center stone of Diana’s ring that was controversial.
As such, it’s not as though just anyone could copy the ring.
Not so with Princess Diana’s engagement ring.
Nevertheless, thejewelerwould declare that the piece showed what “exquisite taste” the late Princess of Wales had.
By August of 1996 the couple was divorced, having separated in 1992 (viaHistoryandMarie Claire).
If you guessed it was her sapphire and diamond engagement ring, you’d be right.
