The Princess of Wales engagement ring is inspired by the ring originally worn by the late Princess Diana and now the current Princess of Wales, Kate.
Prince William and Miss Catherine Elizabeth "Kate" Middleton became engaged in October 2010 during a private holiday in Kenya. The Prince William revealed he gave his long-term girlfriend the distinctive blue sapphire ring that belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales, to make sure his mother "didn't miss out on the excitement".
This ring is gold-toned and showcases a large central blue bohemian crystal surrounded by a halo of smaller white bohemian crystals.
Measurements
The head of the ring measures 1.5cm(0.6in) in width and 2cm(0.8in) in height.

We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
