Princess Kate’s Stunning Ruby Ring Resembles Princess Margaret’s Engagement Ring
A ruby ring worn by Kate, Princess of Wales, bears a striking resemblance to the late Princess Margaret’s engagement ring.
As rubies are the designated stone for July, it is expected that many fashion-conscious royalty and celebrities will be donning them to commemorate the month.
Diamonds Factory, Ireland, has gathered some of the most significant ruby gems, known as the King’s Gem throughout history, belonging to British royal family members.
In 2017, Princess Kate, 41, was spotted wearing a ruby ring made from one of these exquisite gems for the first time.
A representative for Diamonds Factory, Ireland, revealed that the Princess occasionally pairs this stunning ruby ring with her red clothing and accessories.
The ring, which features a band adorned with diamonds and a single ruby stone, stands out from the typical jewelry worn by the royal family due to its elegance and simplicity.
During her visit to Poland, Kate paired the ring with an Alexander McQueen white dress.
The dress boasted a V-neckline, bracelet-length sleeves, a knee-length skirt, and peplum accents at the waist.
The ensemble, which retailed for £798 at the time, was particularly fitting as it incorporated the colors of Poland, where she was traveling.
To complete her look, Kate chose to wear Praline Gianvito Rossi pumps and carried a crimson Jenny Packham Casa clutch worth £1,300.
According to a representative from Diamonds Factory, Ireland, Princess Margaret’s engagement ring from her marriage to Antony Armstrong-Jones bears a striking similarity to Kate’s crimson ring.
Antony Armstrong-Jones presented Princess Margaret with this magnificent engagement ring, featuring three ruby center stones surrounded by six smaller-sized diamonds.
Reports suggest that Antony was heavily involved in the design of the ring, drawing inspiration from the late princess’s middle name, Rose, and aiming to create a ring resembling a flower.
Not only was the ring notable for its inclusion of colored stones, which were uncommon in the royal family during that era, but it was also specially crafted for the wearer rather than purchased or inherited.
On May 6, 1960, Margaret and Antony exchanged vows at London’s Westminster Abbey.
The couple went on to have two children, Lady Sarah Chateau, 59, and David Armstrong-Jones, 61, who later took on the titles Earl and Countess of Snowdon.
Unfortunately, their union did not endure, and Princess Margaret became the first member of the royal family since King Henry VIII to file for divorce.
