5 jewellery pieces once worn by Princess Diana that Kate Middleton loves to wear
From a storied tiara to a pearl necklace, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is often seen in royal jewels. Here’s a look at five famous pieces that seem to be firm favourites
What’s one of the greatest perks that comes with being a princess? Access to the crown jewels, of course.
Royal jewels not only reflect the monarch’s wealth but kinship within the family. Some jewels come with a storied history, while others boast unique links to a specific member of royalty.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, frequently wears pieces belonging to Queen Elizabeth and from the late Princess Diana’s personal collection – some more than others. We look at five royal ornaments the duchess loves to wear.
Engagement ring
The most famous piece of jewellery that Catherine has worn is Diana’s sapphire engagement ring, which her husband, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge gave her to mark their union.
The oval, 12-carat blue sapphire sparked a new trend in gemstone engagement rings for brides all over the world.
In December 1996, a few months after her divorce from Prince Charles, Diana wore the ring paired with sapphire earrings at an event in New York City.
