Many family heirlooms are passed down through the generations, with engagement rings being one of the most popular pieces to pass onto the next family. Prince Charles handed over the late Princess Diana’s ring to his son, Prince William, when he announced that he had plans to ask Kate Middleton for her hand in marriage. It’s believed that William would carry the ring around in his backpack as he waited for the perfect moment to pop the question.

The perfect moment came when the pair were both on vacation in Kenya. Their marriage went on to be one of the most watched events around the world, with an estimated two billion people tuning in to watch. The rebirth of the ring was enough to see sales of jewel-based engagement rings skyrocket around the world as everyone wanted to have a matching style.
