I get why some people may not like Diana’s rings because it was from a catalogue and everything, but a Harry designed Meghan’s ring from Scratch and I would’ve guessed that thing came straight out of 5$ section at your local Claire’s shop, whereas Diana’s looks unique.

I find the “it’s from a catalogue” critiques so funny. When Di and Charles got engaged that was considered a good thing. There were tons of romantic stories about how he took her to Garrard’s and they took out all of these trays with rings on them, so she could make her choice and she picked the one she liked the best. After that, every cheesy eighties rom com had a scene with the boyfriend taking the girlfriend to a store to pick rings from trays.

It was a big part of the Di legend because it showed how she was a regular, unpretentious girl and how this was a new modern couple.
