Large Sapphire Rings

Princess Diana was perhaps the person who made the large sapphire and diamond rings so popular when she chose a particularly large sapphire and diamond piece as her engagement ring in 1980. Her iconic wedding ring can still be seen, gracing the hand of her daughter-in-law, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

Fabulous Fabergé Tiaras

 A tall and grand diamond Faberge tiara, belonging to the Duke and Duchess of Westminster.

 An emerald and diamond tiara sketch. Many Faberge tiaras must have been disassembled or lost during the years, as there doesn't seem to be that many left these days.


 Another Faberge drawing of an elaborate diamond and emerald tiara.

 A more delicate design, a diamond and emerald tiara sketch.
