subject: Important Facts About Vintage Style Engagement Rings [print this page] One of the most unforgettable news of all time was when Price Charles bought a ring for Princess Diana. It was one of the most romantic things a guy did to his girl. The ring costs 65,000 and it was one huge sapphire gemstone surrounded by several smaller diamond stones. It was the most in demand gemstone next to diamond and was the most copied engagement ring in the history.
Back in 1923, the Queen Mother got a sapphire ring which she had told in an interview (one and only). She had stated that it was her favorite; however, after some several years, she was spotted wearing another one. She then had a new gemstone in it i.e. a large pearl that is surrounded by some diamonds. It was speculated that the ring was homage to Queen Mary who also had worn a similar design engagement ring and up until her death she also had the same gemstone in it. It is an elegant vintage style engagement ring.
One of the most eminent vintage style engagement rings was that of Queen Elizabeth. It was a favorite by many people not just because it is beautiful but also the story behind it. It was stated that Prince Philip was highly disliked by the royal family because he was a foreigner and poor.
Also, the royal family had made public their dislike for the prince. His mother gave him her tiara which is one of the very valuable things that time. Prince Philip has designed a ring and he has used the gems from the tiara. Out of all the vintage style engagement rings, this is one of the most favorite by the many people.
Also, the ring was made up of platinum and has a set of eleven diamonds, a three carat solitaire and five small stones on each side. Though, Prince Philip missed the sizing, it was still resized in a rush to become smaller to make it in time with the photo shoot.
