Welcome to our jewellery page chronicling Kate's jewellery from her engagement ring to the latest pieces she's worn. We'll be updating as new items appear. Welcome to our jewellery page chronicling Kate's jewellery. Both the Princess Royal's and the late Queen Mother's original. Cast your minds back to November 1. Clarence House officially made the announcement royal fans had been waiting years for: Prince William and his long- time girlfriend were engaged to be married. I recall coming in from a university lecture, switching on Sky News and hearing the joyous announcement. It was the first time the public were introduced to Kate, and on that day a worldwide fascination with everything the future Duchess wore began. The show- stopping ring was featured in Garrard's collection at the time of the engagement and was surprisingly not unique either. Both the Princess Royal's and the late Queen Mother's original engagements rings were both sapphires. Charles did not propose to the, then, Lady Diana Spencer with ring in hand, but instead Garrard was called in to provide samples. The Queen paid for it.'. It has been said Diana selected it because it reminded her of her mother's engagement ring, however, according to Leslie Field, author of The Queen's Jewels: 'She had said she would like a sapphire and chose this one purely because she liked it. Somebody came up with the story that she immediately went for the biggest, but I asked her and she told me it definitely wasn't the biggest, she simply thought it was beautiful.'. The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer officially announced their engagement on 2. February 1. 98. 1, in the grounds of Buckingham Palace. It was later said the ring was too big for her, but there was no time to alter it before the engagement, so one will notice Diana often the held the ring to keep it in place on the day of the announcement. After Diana's tragic death in 1. Charles took his sons to the palace to select mementos from their mother's possessions. Harry selected the engagement ring, while William chose Diana's . The brothers exchanged mementos when William decided to propose to Kate. Harry thinks of Kate as a sister and it is obvious both princes wanted her to have their mother's ring. It was incredibly kind of Harry and a lovely gesture on William's behalf who spoke about his choice during the engagement interview: 'It is very special to me. It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today and the excitement, and the fact we are going to spend the rest of our lives together.'. While Kate had this to say: 'It's beautiful. I just hope to look after it. It's very, very special.'. Like her late mother- in- law, Kate had the ring resized, asking Crown Jewellers G. Collins & Sons to attach two platinum beads to act as runners inside the bottom of the ring to ensure it did not fall from her finger on the day of the wedding (I had to have my own engagement ring resized and as there are diamonds inset in the band, I was quite worried they would 'pop out'. Thankfully the jewellers did a seamless job!). Diana and Kate's iconic ring has very much earned it's place in royal history and has sparked countless imitations. She opted for matching earrings and necklace set by Tiffany & Co. It is believed the set is from a past season Elsa Peretti collection. Below we see the sapphire oval Cabochon by the Yard earrings set in yellow gold, hanging a bezel set diamond stud. It is believed the piece retailed for roughly one thousand pounds. The exact pieces Kate wore are unavailable (she was photographed wearing the necklace as far back as 2. Tiffany & Co. Keeping accessories to a minimum the beaming future bride selected her Links of London Hope Egg Earrings. She accessorised the look wonderfully and I think we all agree she was an impeccably beautiful bride. Kate looked regal in the Cartier 'Halo' Tiara lent to her by the Queen. The tiara is formed as a band of 1. The Duchess of York only wore it once publicly before becoming Queen Consort and moving on to larger and more opulent pieces. When she does wear one in the future it is very much thought it will be the 'Halo'. It's a nicely sized tiara - not too big, not too small - and what I would describe as an excellent starter tiara. I look forward to seeing the Duchess wear it in the future. Their design is derived from the acorn and oak leaves which form part of the Middleton family coat of arms and they perfectly compliment the 'Halo' tiara echoing the scroll elements in the design. It is made from Welsh gold already owned by the Royal Family and in the care of royal jewellers, a long- standing tradition in the British Royal Family. Both William and Kate had a hand in the design while William elected not to wear a wedding ring because the Prince . Dr Mike Bassett, expert in minerals and mining told the BBC: 'From its discovery by the Romans, up until when the colonial gold rushes of the 1. Wales played a reasonable part in the British economy; though it was never regarded as anything distinct from gold in general. But it really is an 'Emperor's new- clothes' vanity, as it's visually and very nearly chemically indistinguishable; gold is gold is gold.'. When Prince William gave Kate his mother's iconic engagement ring, many thought the striking piece would be the first of many of Diana's jewels we would see the Duchess wear in time (I tend to agree with that sentiment, but stress . In 2. 01. 1, William gave Kate a pair of sapphire and diamond earrings from his late mother's collection, obviously chosen because they work so well with the engagement ring. There has been endless speculation on which pair Kate was given. According to the excellent Diana's Jewels, Kate was given a pair of drop earrings. The top sapphire is surrounded by eight diamonds and the bottom by nine diamonds with a single diamond between both clusters. Diana wore them on a number of occasions, notably for the cover of Vogue's July 1. Patrick Demarchelier. Worn with a timeless off the shoulder Victor Edelstein gown, Diana never looked more beautiful. Diana looked rather nervous in the arms of Magnum actor Tom Selleck (I'm reliably informed this is a perfectly normal reaction to dancing with Mr. As we can see Kate's are a sapphire cabochon just like Diana's, leading me to believe they are indeed the pair given to Kate, although I doubt we will ever know with complete certainty. In my opinion they looked especially well with Kate's Erdem 'Jacquenta' dress during a 2. Quebec City. They're classic jewels which will serve the Duchess in good stead for many years to come, and we may even see her have them modified in time to come. It actually belongs to the regiment and they determine to whom it will be loaned. The Cartier gold three- leaf Shamrock brooch has an emerald stone in the centre. Her Majesty first attended St Patrick's Day in 1. The Queen Mother continued to present the shamrock very often despite conflicting dates with the Cheltenham races. The Irish Guards became her favourite regiment and carried her coffin at her funeral. This gift has enabled me to forge a link with the Regiment which I greatly cherish, and wherever they are serving, at home or abroad, my heart and best wishes will be with them.'. After The Queen Mother's death, The Princess Royal continued the tradition and was also loaned the Shamrock brooch. We can expect to see Kate present shamrock on St. Patrick's Day annually and attend medals parades, too. At all of these occasions, we shall see her wearing the brooch. On the cusp of war, this was no ordinary tour, but it turned out to be hugely successful. The Queen Mother treasured the brooch until her death, whereupon it passed to The Queen. The Maple Leaf became the central national symbol of Canada with the introduction of the Canadian flag in 1. As the Canadian emblem, it seems fitting royal ladies wear the brooch when undertaking Canadian tours. Below we see Her Majesty looking regal in red and white whilst meeting the crowds on Canada Day. The Duchess of Cornwall wore the Maple Leaf during her first tour of Canada with Prince Charles in 2. It was not lent again to Camilla for her second Canada tour in 2. The Duchess looked beautiful in an Alexander Mc. Queen gown and a pair of earrings loaned to her by The Queen. No further information was released and they are not well- known pieces. The fringes are made up of round and baguette diamonds. The central fringe ends with a pear- shaped diamond. The two outer fringes are anchored to a diamond crescent that surrounds the central fringe.'. A closer look at the diamond earrings. Splash News. There's quite a lot to remember about Kate's appearance at the 2. Boodles Boxing Ball; it was the first time we saw William and Kate side by side at a social occasion and Kate's beautiful pink Issa gown (such a pity it's unlikely to get another public outing). That evening the then Ms. Middleton accessorised with a striking pair of Tiffany earrings (with thanks to the brilliant My Small Obsessions).
