Yes I woke up early just to catch their afternoon audience with the press at St. James to make their official statements about their engagement. The minute I got a glimpse of that dark blue glimmer on her ring finger I immediately recognized the unforgettable blue sapphire.
And there you are ladies and gentlemen, Prince William's mother's own engagement ring, the famous blue sapphire ring that weighed 18 carats surrounded by 14 small diamonds in an elegant cluster setting by Garrard Jewellers.
It is very sweet of Prince William to have given his future wife this ring. Although quite a number of nay sayers are already abuzz about the gesture but I personally am touched with the sweet history unfolding on my tv set. It is beautiful. Catherine Middleton is beautiful. (There were rumors earlier this year that Queen Elizabeth has ordered everyone in the palace to address Kate as Catherine, that was probably a give away of the upcoming engagement.)
Behold, the engagement ring...
(Some might notice that there is no photo of the late Princess Diana of Wales in this entry. I love her. She was fantastic. She ruled my world. I even cut my hair short like hers at several points in my life. However I would want this moments to be none other but the young happy couple's. It is their lives now. Their moment, their future and their love.)
Wishing them the best!!!
