Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement announcement: Tuesday November 16 2010 / Prince William and Kate Middleton's marriage: Friday, April 29 2011
Prince William proposed to Kate with his late mother's Sri Lankan 12-carat oval faceted blue Ceylon sapphiresapphire surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds. It is set in 18-karat white gold. The ring renewed a sales boom in sapphire and diamond rings in 2010 when the royal couple got engaged. Although originally valued at £28,000 in 1981, and estimated to have an insurance value of approximately £300,000. The history and sentiment behind the late, Princess of Wales' engagement ring is considered priceless.
The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding ring was also made from Welsh gold that has been in the family for years that was given to Prince William from the Queen after the couple announced their engagement. With Kate's ring, however, it's hard to establish if it was made purely from the famous Clogau mined gold, making its total value hard to estimate.
