Prince Williams and his wife, Kate Middleton, revive the passion for sapphires and emeralds set together with classic diamonds. This is supported by an expert on the Anglo-Saxon jewelery market, Melissa Colgan. According to her, the engagement ring given to the prince’s current wife is the basis of the new interest on the part of jewelery enthusiasts in this type of union. The ring is the one seen in the photo, taken on May 16, 2010, the day the engagement was announced in London. In the image, Prince William holds the hand of Kate Middleton, who wears the engagement ring that belonged to Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. William revealed that he proposed using his mother’s engagement ring to ensure that Diana “didn’t miss the emotion” of the moment from up there. Since then there has been a trend of adding precious stones such as sapphires and rubies to diamonds for engagement rings.
