OK. Remember the Royal Wedding, and all the hullabaloo about the Engagement Ring that Charles gave Kate, that used to belong to his Mom, Diana? Well, when all that was going on, I noticed that had a ring that was almost an exact duplicate, and quite frankly, I ended up selling these by the double handful every single day for several months. I'm really glad things have settled down and are working out for them. I was going crazy making these rings, setting all those accent stones, etc.

Anyway, I've still got the mold, and we still make this ring from scratch. It's just as pretty now as it was then, maybe even prettier if you factor out the history (or the histrionics, maybe???)

One of the things we committed to was the center stone. Ours is a Created Blue Sapphire, a dead ringer for Kate's. Most of the other ones you see still sold are Blue CZs, or are much smaller versions of hers. Her's was a honkin' big sapphire, the same size as the one we use.

Our Created Blue Sapphire is molecularly the same as the stuff that comes from the ground, but tons cleaner and with a lot better color. Oh, and it's affordable. Her's ran about £28,000 in 1981, which was about £85,000 when they got married, more like £100,000 now, which would be about $150,000 in US dollars today. Mine... not so much -- $79.77. 'Nuff said about that.

This ring just "feels" good, and look great! It DOES make a statement, and it'll take a certain amount of attitude to wear this ring. If you've got it, get it, and flaunt it.

BTW, Since we make this from scratch after you order it, we have a lot of flexibility. We can cast this in yellow, white or rose gold, and in any of 10k, 14k, or 18k. Obviously, these choices will affect the price, but email us and let us know what you're interested in, and we'll give you the best price we can live with. We enjoy a strong repeat business, and keep it by making good jewelry you'll want to wear at prices that we both can live with.
