Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's original ring was a sapphire sourced from the Yogo Sapphire Mine in the state of Montana, U.S.A.. Large stones are rare and noted for their cornflower blue colour with no inclusions. The Royal Family owned a stake in the mine and cigar boxes of stones were regularly sent to the monarchy in cigar boxes by regular post worth thousands of pounds. The Yogo mine was eventually mined out, so her stone is one of the rarest of sapphires because of its size, colour, clarity, and rarity.
That is nonsense. The sapphire was a large Kashmir, and no Yogo sapphire found ever matched the legendary exquisite twilight blue of the Kashmirs. Every description of that ring at the time named it as a Kashmir. Those mines were empty by the late 1930s. Kashmirs can only be obtained at auction or high end jewellers who carry antique, vintage jewellery from private estates, or jewellers who bought those collections up. Yogo my Aunt Petunia. That was a magnificent Kashmir.
@@2615ParkAvenueAssociates My source material? Every bio of the Queen Mother I ever read! I've been following the royals and ther jewellery for most of my life. This is the first time I ever heard that story about it bring a Yogo sapphire.
Google is your friend. I just searched the topic and you'll find that in every single mention of that ring it is referred to as a Kashmir sapphire. Try Town & Country's "The Significance of the Queen Mother's Engagement Ring". Now, you tell us where you got authoritative info that Prince Albert gave Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon a Yogo instead of the world's most highly sought after variety.
“Hyacinth”? Is not a gemstone and that would not spell out Bertie. Phillip didn’t “borrow” the diamonds- his mother GAVE him the tiara and he used the remainder of the stones to make a bracelet for Elizabeth’s wedding present. Wallis Simpson was not an actress. “Margarethe” is/was the Queen of Denmark. Queen Elizabeth II sister was “Margaret”. I give up. I love Royal family engagement rings but this video is just too bad
While the rings are undoubtedly made from beautiful gems, none of them shows much imagination. All are rather ordinary, with a central stone surrounded by smaller stones. I could design something similar and no one would think it extraordinary. As for the criticism of Diana's ring, if they didn't want her to have a ring from a catalogue, they shouldn't have offered it to her in that context. It is striking rather than beautiful, being, once again, just a central stone surrounded by a bunch of smaller ones.
This incorrect. Margaret wrote in one of her letters that the chemistry fizzled out between her and Peter after being apart for a couple of years. She geniunely loved Tony and was devastated by his cruelity. She also loved her party lifestyle and is nowhere near the sad, mopey figure the Crown presents her as. She had a lot of fun! Right up until illness took hold.
I am struck by the fact that Charles alone seems to have put no effort into the design of Diana’s wedding ring. Can you imagine how she must have felt being handed a catalog and told to pick out her own. It lends credence to her story that she just chose the most expensive one. Poor girl, getting married with her heart already broken. Would that her sisters had supported her when she wanted to back out. But then we wouldn’t have William, who is her true legacy.
I was thinking the same thing. The other rings had some thought and effort, hers had none above just being told to 'pick out your own' with the underlying thought 'I don't really care'.
After learning a lot more about Diana, I think Charles did the right thing p, imagine the tantrum if she hadn’t liked it!! It wasn’t picked from a catalogue, the jeweller took many rings to the palace.
Engagement Ring used for ROYAL FAMILY in 1940.. In 2000,, wedding ceremony,, couple used of engagement ring and wedding ring.. Could be,, people in modern era is inspired by Princess Diana Spencer... grandchild of Isabel Aragon.. Diana Spencer is living in with Charles and never married.. her just wearing an engagement ring into her finger... They could be marry in with Charles but is married to another person..
Their story was in 1920 to 1940.. Wedding of Kate and Louis and Henry and Meghan is 1970. In 1980 they are talkin about Sultan Princes and Sultan Prince..
Me too. Some years aback I got for my wedding anniversary an emerald shaped aquamarine ring surrounded by sapphires in a halo setting with also 2 small diamonds on the band. I call it my Diana ring as it has aspects of both of her 2 most famous rings. Of course mine is much smaller, lol! but I love it.
Diana's engagement ring did NOT go to Harry. It went to William because as the future Prince of Wales, it would go to his wife, the Princess of Wales. Thank god for small mercies. Imagine Diana's engagement ring being owned by a Z-list actress??
@@rpbphx Meghan slept with every guy she thought would boost her career. She had very limited success as an actress & had she not been lucky enough to meet Dimwit when she did, she'd now be just another out of work actress that virtually no one had heard of. She lasted a mere 18 months as a royal, and even with the worldwide fame, title and money, she STILL couldn't make anything of herself in LA. There's a good reason why she's so widely loathed these days, but you apparently are too stupid to get it.
Ive written this in a few comments, but Harry never had the ring. He debunks this in Spare. Paul Burrel, Diana's dodgy, thieving butler, came up with this story. Both brothers have nothing to do with him.
Factual mistakes as well as mispronunciations galore. The Queen Mother's engagement wasn't set in Welsh gold - her wedding ring was. Her engagement ring was a claasic Art Deco design in platinum centering a large Kashmir sapphire with two slim baguette diamonds on the shoulders. I have always wondered what happened to it. And Diana NEVER wore her engagement ring after the divorce. She replaced it with a very large square-cut aquamarine ring which she wore over a band of round diamonds. Someone needs to put in another penny.
She must mean sepperation, because you are correct, she wore the Asprey aquamarine instead. She wore the sapphire during sepperation and they had no. intention of officially divorcing.
Please stop repeating the incorrect story of Harry ever having Diana's ring. Harry himself has cleared this up. The story originates from Diana's dodgy butler. Both sons have nothing to do with the man.
Harry said he never had the ring or the watch. It is a media lie. Meghan's watch she has is actually a Rolex that looks similar to Diana's watch (which was a different brand) that Meghan bought with her first Suits paycheck. Meghan talked about her watch on her Tig blog way before she met Harry. She said the watch was something she had always wanted but could only afford after she landed Suits. Meghan recommended being minimalist not buying a lot, but buying the best quality a person could afford in her blog. for example, she recommended having one high quality timeless in style black dress that could be dressed up or down and made to look different. That is why she was worth 5 million when she married Harry. She did not overspend. Harry also said the side diamonds came from one of Diana's tennis bracelets that he inherited. He said he got Wiliam's permission to remove a link. Meghan occasionally wears the bracelet for formal events. Being she is 3 inches shorter than Diana was it fits her with the link removed. We also know Harry inherited Diana's aquamarine ring which we have seen Meghan wear 3 times in the last 6 years. People Forget most of Diana's jewelry was owned by the Crown and only hers for life. So, it makes sense William inherited the engagement ring and watch while Harry inherited the tennis bracelet, and aquamarine ring given to Diana after her divorce. There were also smaller less valuable pieces of Diana's we have seen Meghan wear. Some butterfly earrings with tiny sapphires and a turquoise ring. both of them are of modest value, or at least would be if they had not been owned by Diana. I am sure Kate inherited similar items, but they are not things she would wear to state events. they want her to wear the Crown jewelry for those. Those would be things she would wear in private. I understand the aquamarine ring has a matching bracelet and earrings Diana never wore as they were not finished before her death. I am not sure who has them as we have not seen Kate or Meghan wear them. Maybe one day Charlotte will get those.
Can we all be thankful that Harry gave William the ring for Kate. He did NOT have to do that? Diana would be happy with anyone who made her boys happy...unlike harpy's like you. Get a life.
in my opinion it was right that Princess Catherine to have her late mother-in-law's engagement ring !!! going from one Princess of Wales to another!! it makes sense!!!! & harry didn't get overlooked since he got the diamonds from his mom for his wife's engagement ring!!! but unfortunately things aren't that easy when jealousy & greed gets in the way!!!!
American actres?! WTF?! Wallis was never an actres.
😂she was the role model for gold digger
Wallis was a "hostess" in a Chinese brothel. Read King of Fools.
The rings in a lot of these cases are not shown clearly or up-close. Very frustrating for anyone who wants to know more about jewelry.
how close do you think people can get to a ROYAL engagement ring?
@@kajhaelynn As close as they get with all the other pictures that you can Google and see easily i.e. very.

Aren't those sapphires more of a teal color? They are very beautiful and very expensive even in small stones.

Meghan Markle was an actress, Wallis Simpson was NOT
Hi! Genuinely happy to narrate these for you and correctly pronounce them. Let me know.
Interesting but spoilt by the mispronunciation of so many words.
AI is ridiculous. So many mistakes. Please stop.
LoL 😆 hahaha hahaha
Couldn't agree more, it's shite
"X" doesn't stand for "by" but is the Roman numeral "X" = 10 or the tenth month, October.
My favourite one is Beatrice's. A classic.
“Hyacinth”? Is not a gemstone and that would not spell out Bertie.

Princess Ann engagement ring looks like my truest birth stone ring is very nice and I loss it.
The one was QE2 ring because it came from the heart ❤
Many of them did.
QE2 is a ship.
Where is queen Mary's engagement ring?
nothing is known about her first or second engagement ring
Molto bello questo video con i.vestiti.regali........
My favourite is Eugenies. Love pink sapphires.
I wear a sapphire engagement ring.... Very interesting.❤
R.I.P Queen Victoria & Prince Albert.
If they cant talk properly and get the names correct then do it without speaking
This is so bad. Please stop. 10:39
YEA RIGHT
Since when was Wallis Simpson an actress??
Queen Mary??
Yes, exactly what I thought. Where's Queen Mary?!
Do you know what happened to the Queen Mothers' saphire ring ?
Wow so much wrong in this

Is this video narrated by a real person?
No, it's AI.
Thanks all for saving me the time!
I have what I call a petite version of Diana's ring. I got it not long after Diana debut hers. I wear it every chance I get, but on my right hand.
Gifted? Prince Hairy? There's so much wrong with the narration of this video.
I wonder who has the older rings now?
Princes Margaret was forced to give up the love of her life because he was a divorcee and so princess Margaret was not allowed to marry for love.
She could have married him but she was not willing to give up her title and perks as a princess.
This incorrect. Margaret wrote in one of her letters that the chemistry fizzled out between her and Peter after being apart for a couple of years.
She geniunely loved Tony and was devastated by his cruelity. She also loved her party lifestyle and is nowhere near the sad, mopey figure the Crown presents her as.

It is said that she asked which was the most expensive and chose that one.
And Harry. Like him or not he is her son. She loved him very much so therefore I can not condemn or belittle him or his significance in any way.
