We break down her somethings old, new, borrowed, and blue.
, the ring “holds a stunning 12-carat oval blue sapphire, surrounded by 14 smaller solitaire diamonds,” said Lorna Haddon, head of diamonds and jewelry at Beaverbrooks. “The sapphire and diamonds are set in a slim 18-carat white gold band, which accentuates the central piece and draws the eye into those incredible stones.
“She kept her jewelry choices for the big day very simple—as simple as can be when you’re wearing a royal tiara,” Haddon told the. “She teamed the headpiece with a gorgeous pair of pear-cut diamond drop earrings gifted to her by her parents for her wedding day—an equally sentimental piece for her to walk down the aisle with.”For her “something borrowed,” Kate dug into the Queen’s extensive jewelry collection and chose the Cartier Halo Tiara for her wedding day.
“Kate wore an extraordinary halo tiara on her wedding day borrowed from none other than the Queen herself,” Haddon said. “Stooped in royal history, the piece was gifted to Her Majesty as an eighteenth birthday present by George VI.” The Carter Halo Tiara is thought to be the first tiara the Queen ever owned. It has also been seen worn by Her Majesty’s only daughter Princess Anne but hadn’t been seen for many decades prior to Kate’s 2011 wedding.Of course, we could double count the sapphire engagement ring as Kate’s “something blue,” too, but Kate’s renowned Alexander McQueen wedding dress, designed by Sarah Burton, featured a subtly stitched blue ribbon to check off this box as well.
