Insight into Kate Middleton's engagement ring

Kate Middleton the fiance of Prince William got finally the reward for her patience during her eight-year courtship. Her nickname is"Waity Katie". She has now been asked by the prince to be his royal consort, but he has already honored her with his most prized possession: the engagement ring which his mother wore. According to the sources the 18-carat sapphire of the ring is clustered by diamonds, and is likely to launch a thousand copycats. Heather Levine, fashion and beauty editor for wedding website The Knot was reported saying that "Kate's ring is actually a huge influential happening in the engagement ring world.

The recent survey of the ring market has found that, the average cost of an engagement ring is $5,861.Moreover one cannot skip the tradition of wearing the rings. It has been estimated that more than 90 percent of brides are wearing engagement rings. Robert Weldon, a gemstone expert with the Gemological Institute of America was reported saying that Diamonds have always been the all time classic engagement ring for the last 200 years and also it is found that suddenly people are becoming a lot more creative.

Colorless diamonds are less in demand as compared to Technicolor rings. Levine told reporters that colored gemstones are back in a big way, Javier Bardem had proposed to Penelope Lopez with an enormous blue sapphire, while Jessica Simpson countered ex Nick Lachey's engagement with her own Neil Lane ruby-and-diamond ring from fiance Eric Johnson.

It is very well proved that the conventional diamond engagement rings owe more to brilliant marketing than romance. De Beers, the world's largest diamond company, twisted to Hollywood in the '30s to popularize the bigger-is-better thought. They gifted starlets with gargantuan stones, lent their products for glamorous photo shoots, and encouraged screenwriters to take in jewelry shopping scenes in their movies. By 1947, when De Beers' ad agency came up with the "A diamond is forever slogan," diamond rings were inextricably linked to marriage proposals.

Celebrities always prefer to wear colored diamonds, either. Mariah Carey, of course, has a pink one; Carrie Underwood, Heidi Klum and Rebecca Romijn all have yellow; Kristen Bell wears a cognac shade, and Carmen Electra received the ideal ring for her: a black diamond. It is not that colorful rings, though, are the only popular kind lately. Among the biggest trends. Sapphire worn by Kate Middleton is surrounded by 14 diamonds, and right on trend. A center stone is encircled with extra diamonds which not only adds sparkle, but can make the center stone look larger.
