Royal Romance: The 10 Most Beautiful Engagement Rings in History

#jewellery #jewels #wedding 💍Jewelry is something the royal families and famous women are very familiar with, and their engagement rings are no different. We like to credit Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, for being the first to popularize colorful engagement rings. Since then, emerald, ruby rings, sapphire stones, and even orange diamonds have been chosen by royals and celebrities alike. Of course, a good number of royals continue to don classic diamond rings. The 3-carat center stone of Queen Elizabeth’s ring is classic, while Princess Sofia of Sweden's rock is a compelling example of pavé bands. 💍One the most iconic royal engagements ring of all time, Princess Diana’s 1981 Garrard masterpiece was a landmark moment in royal jewellery. This piece features a 12-carat Ceylon blue sapphire (the most sought-after hue for such stones), surrounded by a halo of 14 diamonds, and set in 18-carat white gold. Breaking tradition, Diana famously selected the ring herself from a catalogue — a modern move that showed that women could have a hand in choosing their ring. At the time, some critics balked at its ‘off-the-shelf’ origins, but the ring quickly became synonymous with Diana’s unique blend of approachability and glamour. Today, it graces the hand of Catherine, Princess of Wales, bridging past and present together. 💍And of course, in 1840, Queen Victoria’s engagement ring set a new standard. Prince Albert gifted her a gold serpent ring, its head adorned with a bright green cabochon emerald, which was her birthstone. Victorian society quickly became enamoured over its symbolism: in the 19th-century, snakes represented eternal love and wisdom. While modern sensibilities for engagement rings may shy away from serpentine jewellery, the queen’s style was nothing short of visionary. It married sentiment with a story, ushering in a love that would define an era. Her devotion to Albert endured even after his death, cementing the ring as the ultimate symbol of romance.
