Kate Middleton is the proud proprietor of a tremendous sapphire engagement ring that as soon as belonged to her late sweetheart's mother Princess Diana after Prince William gave it to her when he proposed - but it reportedly underwent a subtle change.
The Duchess of Cambridge has a lovely collection of jewelry - from top notch bracelets to beautiful necklaces. But via a long way her most well-known piece of jewllery is her 12-carat blue sapphire engagement ring that is surrounded by means of 14 solitaire diamonds.
She was presented with it in in 2010 when Prince William popped the query and is not often viewed in public without it. The ring once belonged to William's late mother Princess Diana and used to be given to her upon her engagement to Prince Charles in 1980. But it used to be stated that rapidly before her wedding ceremony in April 2011, Kate without a doubt had the ring altered - as she determined the band used to be too large and "turning on her finger".
It is idea the ring used to be taken to royal jewellers G Collins and Sons, who made the tweak so it would fit better.
However, alternatively than resizing the band, small platinum beads are believed to have been attached internal the backside of the ring, to give it a better fit.
A supply instructed The Sun at the time that Kate 'adores' the ring, but observed it had been too big.
The source added: "A bride's worst nightmare is looking down and seeing her ring has fallen off.
"One can only imagine how this is magnified when you are marrying the future King of England."
