Sapphires have a long and storied history, and royalty has traditionally preferred them. Princess Diana's engagement ring was a magnificent oval sapphire (which Kate Middleton currently wears). Sapphires, along with diamonds, are one of the most popular gemstones in today's bridal and fashion fine jewellery.
