If you are one of those lost souls who have no idea or vision about what type of engagement rings to choose for your future fiancé or fiancée, here is an inspirational list for you.
Get inspired from the royal couples whose sparklers have taken the world in its stride. Given, these rings might not fit in to your budget but then also you can get an idea about stylish engagement rings that might catch the fancy of your loved one if not the whole world. Instead of diamonds set in gold or platinum you can go for sterling silver rings to suit your pockets.
Let us begin with Queen Elizabeth. Prince Philip gave her a square-cut diamond ring with diamond side stone set in platinum. All the diamonds that went in to the ring came from the tiara of the groom’s mother.
Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth’s sister’s ruby engagement ring was designed by photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, her future husband. It was specially made to look like a rosebud to honor the princess as her middle name was Rose.
Princess Diana chose her own ring as when Prince Charles proposed to her he hadn’t decided on a ring. She chose a sapphire ring that is now worn by her daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton. The sapphire ring caused quite a stir amongst the royal family as it wasn’t a unique piece and was chosen from a catalogue that was available for all.
Lastly, Kate Middleton adorns the same 18-carat blue sapphire ring once worn by Princess Diana. Prince William proposed to her on their Kenyan holiday and according to Kate it was pretty romantic.
