Kate Middleton Stacked Four of Her Most Sentimental Rings for Remembrance Day
With the eyes of the nation on the Royal Family as they led the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph, Kate Middleton no doubt took extra care in selecting her jewelry for the occasion.
As well as Princess Diana‘s diamond and pearl earrings and a brooch that paid tribute to both her work with the RAF and her late grandfather, the Princess of Wales opted to showcase a stack of rings on her wedding finger.
Kate teamed her famous, sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring with three other thin bands, wearing all four on one finger for the first time to create an on-trend stack. One eternity ring, a newer addition to the Princess’s jewelry box since last year, is adorned with diamonds and sapphires, and is thought to be the Étincelle de Cartier wedding band. Many have speculated that the ring may have been a present from Prince William to mark the end of Kate’s course of preventative chemotherapy—and of course, it coordinates perfectly with her engagement ring.
The third ring is an older piece: a sparkling, diamond-encrusted style, it hails from Annoushka—one of Kate’s favorite jewelers—and is thought to have been a present from William following the birth of Prince George in 2013. The fourth and final band adorning the princess’s finger was, of course, her wedding ring, crafted from the same nugget of Welsh gold used for Queen Elizabeth’s own wedding band.
