Diana, Princess of Wales, was one of the most adored members of the British royal family. However she was no stranger to the British royal family, having reportedly played with Prince Andrew and Prince Edward as a child while her family rented Park House, an estate owned by Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Charles was thirteen years her senior.
Diana became Lady Diana Spencer in 1975 after her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer. Though known to be quiet and shy, Diana expressed a great fondness for children and after completing finishing school in Switzerland, she returned to London to eventually become a kindergarten teacher. When Diana and Prince Charles met and began to pursue a courtship, the press and public were fascinated
by this seemingly odd couple. They married on July 29, 1981 in a televised ceremony broadcast throughout the world. Millions of viewers were entranced with what appeared to be Britain’s fairy tale wedding of the century. Though the marriage produced two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, it was not to be a happily-ever-after ending. The couple divorced in 1996and even after
the divorce, Diana maintained a high level of popularity. She devoted herself to her sons and her charitable causes. In 1997 Diana had a serious romance with Egyptian producer and playboy Dodi Al-Fayed. While the two were visiting Paris, they were involved in a tragic car crash as they attempted to escape the paparazzi. Diana, Al-Fayed and their driver were all killed. Diana
endeared herself to the public through her warmth and caring. As the wife of Prince Charles, Diana not only gave birth to the future British king, she became a princess to the people of the world.

Prince Charles initially proposed without an engagement ring, insisting Diana consider the implications of her role as his wife before accepting. Diana however, with minimal pause, accepted his proposal of marriage. She was presented with a selection of engagement rings from Garrard Jewelers. Their engagement became official on
February 24,1981, after Diana selected a large $40,000 sapphire and diamond ring… today’s value is estimated at approximately $136,000. The ring was similar to her own mother’s engagement ring. The ring was made by the then, crown jewelers Garrard but, unusually for a member of the Royal family, the ring was not unique at all. In fact, Garrard’s featured
the 18 carat sapphire ring surrounded by 14 small diamonds, in their own jewelry collection. Originally owned by Princess Diana, Kate Middleton now wears this famous sapphire and diamond ring Engagement Ring jewelry. |

As an engagement gift for her upcoming nuptials to Prince Charles (1981), Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother gave Diana, Princess of Wales, a large 20 carat brooch surrounded by two rows of diamonds. Not being the type of person to wear a brooch, Diana later attached four separate rows of pearls to the brooch and turned it into a choker which
she wore often. This famous Crowns and Regalia Choker jewelry may best be remembered as the necklace she wore the night she danced at the White House with John Travolta in 1985. |
