Celebrities around the world have influenced fashions for generations. Sports stars, movie actors, musicians, politicians, even princesses have set the tone for many popular styles. While it’s known that diamonds are a token of love, the way they are presented (and styled) is what romance is built on. The presenting of bridal pieces stands for commitment and timelessness. Although many of these engagements have not withstood the test of time, the eternal quality of fine jewellery will never grow old. So, let’s look at some of these top designs…

Sapphire Rings Inspired by Royalty:

Kate Middleton’s engagement ring has inspired the entire world. Michael Hill’s sapphire ring is amongst the finest examples with its gorgeous colour and oval shape. The ring reminds us of a band presented by Napoleon to Joséphine, his fiancé. Recently Joséphine’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring sold for almost a million US dollars. You would think that would be a tough order to follow, yet Princess Kate’s ring has revived this storybook romance.

In truth, not every suitor can afford real diamonds. Each of the pieces listed above is in a class all its own… from Napoleon’s Joséphine, to Elizabeth Taylor, right on up to Kate Middleton’s sapphire beauty.

As Marilyn Monroe, another diamond icon, expressed decades ago… ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.’ The reason is that that a bridal piece never loses its shape, or that very special place in a woman’s heart. Their gorgeous and elusive qualities continue to set these rings apart as we can see in each of examples listed above. Diamonds shimmer, diamonds shine… and when they are surrounded and enhanced with precious stones and metals their beauty is almost unsurpassed. Their eternal quality never grows old. There is just so much to love about bridal pieces inspired by love!
