The sapphire and diamond engagement ring was created by Garrard in 1980. The ring featured an 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire surrounded by 14 solitaire cut diamonds and set in 18-carat white gold. Some says that the Princess selected the ring because it was “the biggest” in a tray of rings sent by Garrard. However, the Princess herself said that the ring was selected by the Queen and Prince Charles.
