Скачать или смотреть Princess Diana’s engagement ring

Princess Diana's breach of protocol began almost from the very beginning. In preparation for her wedding to Charles, the future princess chose a ring from a catalog. Of course, it was not about a passable catalog, and the Jewelry House Garrard, and yet it was a challenge to tradition, according to which royalty jewelry is made only to order. But Diana was very fond of sapphire and wasn't interested in being too meticulous about the choice. "She told us right away that she wanted a sapphire ring. Then she tried on five or six rings and made her decision," one of the jewelers later recalled. At the time, the price of the jewelry was $ 45,000 according to the catalog, but after the princess chose it, it increased almost tenfold to $ 400,000. But still, despite such prices, the fact remained that such a ring, even if theoretically, could be chosen by anyone, it was not unique.
