Lady Di engagement ring in Pamplona: sapphire, ruby and emerald

June 12, 2023

Princess Diana's engagement ring, or better known as the "Lady Di ring", has captivated the hearts of entire generations with its incomparable beauty. This jewel has become an eternal symbol of family history and legacy, leaving a significant mark in the jewelry sector.

But what is the fascinating story hidden behind this emblematic piece?

Highlighted by a dazzling 12-carat oval sapphire surrounded by 14 18-carat white gold diamonds. His distinctive Napoleonic style caught the attention of the Princess of Wales. Although the specific reason why Lady Di selected this jewel is unknown, there are multiple theories about it. The most renowned is the one that has sentimental value, since it is said that the intense blue color of the sapphire reminded him of the color of his mother's eyes.

The crown took this choice as “unconventional” because, until then, princesses usually chose their engagement ring from an exclusive edition and not from a catalog. On the other hand, its elegant blue sapphire has had a significant cultural impact, drawing global attention and becoming a historical fashion milestone.

After Lady Di's death in 1997, the ring passed into the hands of her eldest son, Prince William. Thus, in 2010, the prince decided to keep the family connection alive by proposing to Kate Middleton with his mother's engagement ring. This action conveyed a sense of continuity and intergenerational love, further enhancing the symbolic meaning of the piece.

Its exceptional design and fascinating history continue to captivate people of all generations, transcending time and borders, as if setting trends in today's society.
