Kate Middleton has redefined the iconic sapphire ring that once belonged to Princess Diana. During a visit to the National Curling Academy in Stirling, Scotland, the Princess of Wales showcased a new ring stack, featuring her engagement ring at the center. According to Cosmopolitan, Kate added three sentimental bands to the ring, giving the 44-year-old statement piece a fresh and subtle update.
Among the rings added to the stack was Kate’s gold Welsh wedding band, a gift from Prince William on their wedding day in April 2011. Additionally, she included two other sentimental jewelry pieces. One of them was a thin band reportedly gifted by William after the birth of their first son, Prince George. This diamond eternity ring features white gold and is encircled by small diamonds.
Another ring in the stack was said to be a gift from the prince after Kate completed cancer treatment in 2024. She first showcased the sapphire and diamond eternity band in September of that year in a video celebrating Team GB’s Olympic success with William.
This isn’t the first time Kate has experimented with stacking her rings. She initially wore her eternity bands alongside her wedding and engagement rings on July 12, 2025, at Wimbledon. Typically, Kate wears her engagement ring solo or with her wedding band, depending on the event. However, wearing all the rings together showcases her confidence in mixing and matching different styles to create an effortlessly elegant look.
Kate has now worn the iconic sapphire and diamond ring for as long as Princess Diana did before her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996, after 15 years of marriage. William placed the ring on Kate’s finger in November 2011, before their wedding the following April. By giving a fresh twist to Princess Diana’s timeless piece, Kate proves that classic jewelry can be bold, modern, and unforgettable.
In the world of royal fashion, Kate Middleton continues to push boundaries and redefine traditional styles with her innovative ring stack. It’s a subtle yet significant update to a beloved piece of history, reflecting her unique sense of style and confidence.
