Catherine stuns in Princess Diana's £15 million Saudi Sapphire Suite Collection, radiating beauty.

The British royal family possesses an incredible collection of jewels, many of which showcase the beautiful blue sapphire. While Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is often associated with her stunning sapphire engagement ring passed down from Princess Diana, it's not the most valuable piece of sapphire jewelry in the royal collection.

Princess Diana's Saudi Sapphire Suite is a remarkable collection that adds up to £15 million. The suite includes a sapphire watch, earrings, bracelet, ring, and necklace. The centerpiece is an enormous Burmese sapphire pendant hanging on a diamond necklace, along with a matching pair of earrings. Additionally, there is a ring and a two-row bracelet of brilliant-cut diamonds with a smaller version of the sapphire pendant as a centerpiece. The suite is completed with a wristwatch featuring a face set in a Diamond Sunray Fringe and a strap consisting of seven oval sapphires set in clusters of diamonds.

Princess Diana frequently wore the Saudi Sapphire Suite for various royal events. Eventually, the pieces were remodeled for Catherine, who often wears them in a dangling design. The princess wore these jewels as a tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, and she received the dazzling earrings from Prince William on their wedding day in April 2011.

During an audience at Buckingham Palace with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife Alina, Catherine chose a blue custom-made Emilia Wickstead dress. To complement her outfit, she wore Princess Diana's sapphire and diamond drops, creating a buzz around her jewelry choice. The design of the necklace appeared strikingly similar to a pair of earrings worn by Princess Diana from the original Saudi Suite.

Catherine has showcased various pieces from Diana's jewelry collection over the years, ranging from subtle style nods to iconic jewels. Apart from the Saudi Sapphire Suite, she has been seen wearing diamond and pearl earrings to the christening of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and another pair at the BAFTAs, where she swapped Diana's larger pearls for smaller ones. Additionally, the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara has become associated with Catherine, adding to the endless possibilities and timeless elegance of royal jewelry.
