Prince William has chosen to keep with royal tradition and presented Ms.
Middleton with Princess Diana's blue sapphire engagement ring. The famous
diamond halo setting of her oval blue sapphire became an iconic design in the
jewelry world when it was first given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have not selected a wedding date yet, but
rumors are swirling about the spring or summer of 2011.

Evan Guttman, CIO of The Natural Sapphire Company comments, "We have been
receiving a number of phone calls and emails inquiring about blue sapphires
and the design of Princess Diana's engagement ring."

The Natural Sapphire Company currently offers a reproduction setting of
Princess Diana's engagement ring.
