Catherine Middleton Jewellery (to April 2011)

[HRHAmy]

Does anyone know where Kate got this yellow diamond or citrine ring?? I'm guessing it's a birthday present since she only wore it for her birthday dinner. Maybe a gift from her parents??

I love kate's ring. It will be interesting to see what other jewels she aquires or borrows over time leading up to a royal wedding.

[jcbcode99]

She does have interesting pieces, both costume and fine.

Now that Kate and William are engaged, this might be a good time to have a thread about Kate's jewellery

[Zonk]

Thanks Muriel...I imagine that the first piece will be the engagement ring. When is Kate's birthday? I wonder if it will have her birthstone in it.

Kate is a Capricorn, born on January 9.

What is that birthstone? Not that it means anything...Diana was a Cancer and Sarah got the Ruby ring

[Marika86]

I'm a Capricorn.Our birthstone is a Garnet

[Dierna23]

She'd better be a Cancer then. Most sites on google say the birthstone of Capricorns is garnet. I love garnets, but I think it's a bit unlikely?

It would be lovely if Kate had a historical ring, perhaps belonging to QEQM, or even Queen Mary. A "historic" ring would allow her to have a meaningful ring, without any whining in the press about the cost of the ring. However, AFAIK, Camilla is the only recent royal bride to have received an old ring.

Some mags have published that she has received as engagement ring the Princess Diana´s engagement ring (I think this is not true)

If it is true... it is really of BAD TASTE

Diana's engagement ring is full of bad luck! The marriage has not lasted and Diana died tragically. How could they pass all this malediction to William's bride???

Was Diana's engagement ring of an historical value???

[Dierna23]

I hope it's not true. If the ring will be something totally new, I have a feeling it will be a diamond. Can't wait to see the engagement ring!

[salma]

I hope too, I think mags wrote worng information. We must wait until this afternoon.

I really do not think that Diana's ring will be given to Kate as an engagement ring.

No, Diana's ring was not a historical ring, and was purchased new from Garrards.

[Nathalie Cox]

I want to see the engagement ring too! I imagine something very discreet, but i can be wrong too.

[Jacknch]

For the engagement ring I think it will be Diamonds!!!!!! Or one large Diamond......or possibly diamonds and sapphires.....but certainly not Diana's engagement ring!

[hilal]

If Kate follows royal tradition, her wedding ring will be fashioned from a nugget of Welsh gold. The custom was started by the Queen Mother in 1923, and since then, the Queen, Princess Margaret, the Princess Royal and Diana, Princess of Wales, have all followed suit. The lucky nugget in question came from the Clogau St David's mine at Bontddu, in north Wales. from bbc.co.uk

BBC just announced that Prince William has given Kate Middleton his mother's engagement ring - over 18ct oval sapphire surrounded by 14 diamonds.

This is a bit of a surprise for me.
