In 1981, Prince Charles proposed to Lady Diana at Windsor Castle. At the time, she was 20 years old. Lady Diana was surprised by this early proposal, because before the proposal, they had only met a dozen times. Even though she responded with laughter, she told him that she loved him so much.
Then, the young Diana Spencer had to choose her engagement ring for the official announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles. But instead of choosing a custom-made ring for her, as tradition dictates, she set her sights on a ring already from the collection of the great jewelry house Garrard.
It is a magnificent Daisy ring that is set with a 12-carat Ceylon sapphire with an oval cut in the center, also surrounded by 14 sparkling round diamonds. The sapphire was set in a raised setting with many claws. The diamonds of this sublime ring were placed slightly recessed on a stepped design, which further amplified the dynamism of the sapphire.
