What fabulous news about the beautiful Kate Middleton and her Prince Charming - we are already looking forward to a fairtytale wedding next Spring/Summer 2011.

As jewellers who specialise in designing and creating stunning handmade engagement and wedding rings, we can’t wait to see what her ring is like. If she turns into a style icon like her late mother-in-law Diana, then we’ll all be keeping an eye on her to ensure we remain bang on trend. This will also apply to her choice in jewellery.

I’ve been scouring the papers and the online news to see if there’s been a sighting of the ring, but so far I haven’t found anything. So, to quench our thirst for news on “the rock”, we’ve been asking our customers throughout this afternoon what they think of the news and what they imagine her engagement ring will be like. The results were interesting:

The vast majority of customers we asked believe it’ll be a large (and we mean enormous!) diamond.

The second most popular response was a coloured diamond – so either a fancy yellow or pink.

And, the third most popular choice was a coloured gem stone, with most people who chose this option mentioning that they would not be surprised if it bears a resemblance to the fabulous sapphire and diamond ring that was Diana’s engagement ring.

It would be nice for a young and beautiful lady like Kate Middleton to boost the popularity of coloured gemstones again as they have wained in popularity in recent years. It may mean we see an increase in the demand for engagement ring designs using bright and bold coloured gems, as was the trend in years gone by.

Whichever ring the delectable Miss Middleton is now adorning, we’re pretty sure it’ll be a dazzlingly fabulous piece and we can’t wait to catch a glimpse of it.
