Anyone else could buy it if they could afford to - something that the Queen did not approve of. It was offered by Garrard & Co, a fine jewellery brand from London that had served the royal family since the 1800s, for £47,000 Rs 4.6 crores approx.).
One thing that The Crown gets right is mentioning that Princess Diana’s engagement ring was neither a family heirloom nor a private commission (as are customs), but one that was simply for sale. The ring was a catalogue item Princess Diana and Prince Charles officially announced their engagement on February 24, 1981. Below, we take a look at everything we know about the jewel - and how, like its owner, it differed from all others in the royal family. It doesn’t sound much on paper, at least as far as high jewellery goes, but it went on to become the most famous engagement ring in history. The white gold ring, called the Marguerite, featured a 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire that was surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds. (The British royal family reportedly aren’t fans of the show.) Still, there is some truth to be found in certain scenes - like the tension that was present as Lady Diana picked out her engagement ring. Of course, being a historical drama, a lot of what we see on The Crown isn’t actually true. It was one of the most turbulent times faced by the royal family. The new episodes follow the marital discord between Princess Diana and Prince Charles. That is, the worldwide obsession with the late Diana Spencer, the former Princess of Wales who was more affectionately known as the “People’s Princess.” In the fifth season of The Crown, Elizabeth Debicki plays Princess Diana. Thanks to the return of the Netflix hit series The Crown, Princess Diana fever is in full swing once again. The drama of a single 18-karat blue sapphire stone surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds can only be matched by the life and times of one extraordinary woman: the late Princess Diana.
