Yes, the prince proposed to Kate Middleton with the same platinum and 18-carat blue-sapphire diamond engagement ring that his father, Prince Charles, gave to his mother in February 1981. Since this ring was originally set in platinum it looks as beautiful today as it did years ago, and as it will for generations. Diana chose the ring, which cost 28,000 GBP at the time, from a selection presented to her by Garrard Jewelers.
