Prince William and Princess Catherine are the proud parents of three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. They married in April 2011, with Catherine receiving a Welsh gold ring to symbolize their vows. Her engagement ring, which belonged to Princess Diana, is much admired for its sapphire and diamond design.

Despite being married for over 13 years, Prince William is rarely seen wearing a wedding ring. Some fans speculate about his happiness in the marriage because of this absence. In contrast, his father, King Charles, publicly wears a wedding ring. William's lack of a ring has recently come to public attention while on royal duty at Windsor Castle.

A palace spokesperson has clarified that William has chosen not to wear a wedding ring since his wedding day, citing personal preference. The choice is in line with family tradition as his grandfather, Prince Philip, also did not wear a ring. However, Prince Harry has broken with tradition by wearing a platinum ring. Catherine's engagement ring features a 12-carat blue sapphire, a piece designed with the help of Bristol jeweller Wartski.

The gold used for her wedding ring was a gift from Queen Elizabeth II. This ring and the sapphire engagement ring carry considerable royal history. Caring for such heirlooms requires careful attention. Regular inspection and cleaning are required to maintain their beauty. The design of the engagement ring was inspired by an earlier piece commissioned by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria in 1840, tying it to the royal family's longstanding heritage. After Princess Diana's death in 1997, Prince Harry inherited her engagement ring and is believed to have given it to William when he planned to propose to Catherine.
