Lady diana's ceylon blue engagement ring
In 1981, Charles, Prince of Wales gave a 12 carat Ceylon* sapphire set in 18K white gold to Lady Diana, and years later, the same sapphire was given by Prince William to Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge.
The sapphire at the centre of her ring is officially called the Ceylon Blue Sapphire. Deep intense blue combined with their high luster makes Sri Lankan sapphires very distinctive while also making them the most sought after sapphires in the world.
The famous sapphire at the heart of the ring is said to come from a mine in the centre of Sri Lanka 40 years ago. Gem mining is a seasonal activity in Sri Lanka and employs about 100,000 people. Sri Lanka is known to produce more than 50 varieties of gem stones - second only to Brazil - and is believed to account for about 25% of global sapphire sales.
* Sri Lanka was formerly known as Ceylon.
Sapphire
Most jewelry customers think all sapphires are blue, but in fact sapphires come in a rainbow of colors from white, black, brown, gray, violet, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, and intermediate hues. Some sapphires exhibit the phenomenon known as color change, most often going from blue in daylight or fluorescent lighting to purple under incandescent light.
Sapphire scores a 9 on Mohs scale, and thus has excellent toughness and does not break easily when struck. This makes it a great choice for rings subject to daily wear.
For centuries, sapphire has been associated with royalty and romance. The world’s most famous engagement ring is Kate Middleton’s and Princess Diana’s blue sapphire, the "Royal Blue" - a 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire from Sri Lanka.
Sapphire is the birthstone of September, and is the gemstone of creative expression and inner peace and meditation. Traditionally, sapphire symbolizes nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness. It has decorated the robes of royalty and clergy members for centuries. In ancient Greece and Rome, kings and queens were convinced that blue Sapphires protected their owners from envy and harm.
Solitude
Solitude is the state of being alone without being lonely. It is a positive and constructive state of engagement with oneself. Solitude is desirable and a state of being alone where you provide yourself wonderful and sufficient company.
Solitude is a time that can be used for reflection, inner searching or growth or enjoyment of some kind. Deep reading requires solitude, so does experiencing the beauty of nature. Thinking and creativity usually do too.
