Overview

• On July 12, the Princess of Wales layered her Welsh gold wedding band, Princess Diana’s 12-carat Ceylon sapphire engagement ring, a diamond eternity band gifted after Prince George’s birth and a sapphire-and-diamond eternity ring in a single stack.
• The sapphire-and-diamond eternity band is believed to be Cartier’s Étincelle de Cartier wedding ring, set with 19 brilliant-cut sapphires and 19 diamonds at a cost of about $6,300.
• Prior to this outing, Kate Middleton alternated between wearing her engagement ring and the Cartier eternity band but had not publicly combined all four pieces.
• Each ring in the stack carries personal meaning, marking milestones from her completion of chemotherapy treatment to her 13th wedding anniversary.
• Her unprecedented jewellery statement at Wimbledon has driven global coverage and fuelled a surge in ring-stacking trends among brides and fashion influencers.
