This may not be the right site to ask this question but....
what's the difference between a cabochon saphire instead of a cut sapphire?

Someone mentioned on one of the earlier pages, and I agree, that it seems to be a very "European" thing to give coloured gems on engagement rings. In Canada, you rarely see anything but diamond rings...if you want to be really, really different, you'd give an engagement ring set w/ another stone - but in Europe (or is it just amongst royalty?), it seems par for the course to give a ring w/ another stone.[/quote]

I think rather than a European or American tradition it's a matter of what is now considered contemporary or not. My own engagement ring is an oval cut ruby surrounded by ten diamonds (a little like Sarah Ferguson's) and I am always receiving comments about how old fashioned my ring is. I think it's lovely though and fairly unique for today.

cabochon: a gem polished but not faceted. In other words, no glitter and sparkle.

Just plug "emerald" into the "search this thread" feature, and you'll find a few.

The replies that come up refer either to an emerald cut of a diamond or posters' personal engagment rings. I'm wondering if there has ever been a royal engagment ring with an emerald in it. Was it Queen Mary (or Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mum) that had a (engagement?) ring with stones that spelled out BERTIE and the E's were emeralds?

Man, she was marrying the ruler od Dubai, you'd think she would have gotten a bigger rock than that. Oh well, if she's happy with it that's all that matters,

Heirloom Engagement Ring Belonged to the Queen Mother

The official news of Britain's Prince Charles' engagement came on February 10, 2005, ending years of speculation about whether or not he and Camilla Parker Bowles would ever wed. Camilla's engagement ring is said to be a platinum and diamond Art Deco era ring once owned by the Queen Mother. The heirloom ring appears to have an emerald cut center diamond with three diamond baguettes on each side of it.

It seems to me that Alex's engagement ring is a larger stone, than the Crown princess's,

I like Mary's ring. It's lovely combination od diamond and ruby (?)
But I don't know which ring is the most beautiful.

Default Royal Engagement Rings
Everyone knows, for example, what the late Princess Diana's engagement ring looked like, but I've never seen a close up picture of HM The Queen's. I'd also like to see others like The Princess Royal's (1st & 2nd). Does anyone out there have any pics of these and other royal ladies' bejewelled ring fingers?

I don't particularly like these images but they are the best I could find on the Queen's engagement ring and the bracelet that Philip gave her:
