It was chosen by Diana during her engagement to Prince Charles in 1981 and was made by crown jeweler Garrard. The classic combination of a large oval blue sapphire set in white gold and a surrounding diamond forms the basis of the color and design of this gown. After Diana, this iconic ring is now with Kate Middleton (Princess of Wales).
