Which jewels will Kristen Stewart wear in her portrayal of Princess Diana?
The famous sapphire engagement ring, the Spencer family tiara, the Cartier watch – but will the Twilight star shine in the role of her career?
Recent news that Twilight actress Kristen Stewart is cast to play Princess Diana in the upcoming movie Spencer was met with mixed feelings.
The movie centres around the emotional turmoil of the late princess the weekend she realised her marriage was over.
The film’s director Pablo Larraín is confident in his casting, and in an interview with CNN called Stewart “one of the great actors around today” and that her ability to play a range of emotions from “very mysterious and very fragile and ultimately very strong as well” was what landed her the role.
There’s no information as to which year the film will be set, though we do know Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ separation was announced in December 1992.
Here, we take a look at some jewellery pieces from important moments in Charles and Diana’s marriage and take a wild guess about which pieces will be recreated for Stewart’s portrayal on the big screen.
Garrard sapphire and diamond engagement ring
Instead of picking something from the queen’s jewellery box, Charles bought a sapphire and diamond engagement ring from British jeweller Garrard’s permanent collection for his proposal to Diana. Diana kept the ring after her divorce from Charles. After she passed away, Harry got the ring, which he eventually traded with William for Diana’s gold Cartier Tank watch when William expressed his desire to propose to Kate.
