A spokesman for the high street jewellery chain described the royal engagement ring as "a classic timeless, yet emotionally-attached ring. Immediately fashionable when his mother first wore it back in the 1980s, this style has been a constant classic in our sales charts".

H. Samuel has created a high street style, at £179, and a higher-price style for £750.

The sapphire is believed to stand for loyaty and fidelity.
