Since the announcement of the engagement, hype has intensified around the massive day and nothing is more current than the ring that Kate is to wear - following in Diana’s footsteps with the same Sapphire and Diamond ring on white gold. Now you too can “get the look” with this stunning engagement ring, a beautiful sapphire engulfed by diamonds set on 18ct white gold. The total combined weight is 0.33ct.

I spent a bit of time reviewing Replica Rings on the World wide web as I wanted to invest as these things tend to hold their value and appreciate, especially the collectibles like these, as they tend to be limited edition and highly collectible. If you were smart enough to have done this the first time round, you would have seen a great return on your investment of your buy. A replica ring could have been purchased for GBP 500+ before Diana and Charles’ wedding. That same ring would have doubled in price easily.

Gold is set to rise - so use this to your advantage and buy some in the form of a Kate Middleton engagement ring. This ring is a great investment and collectors’ piece, especially as it is the same design worn by Diana, only enhancing its collect-ability. These items will only increase as time goes on as all collectibles do, as we saw upon the tragic death of Diana Princess of Wales. Yet another reason to invest is the impending possibility of hyper inflation, already at 4%, well over the chancellor’s 2%+ preference. This means your cash is becoming less valuable and doesn’t stretch as far. Putting all your money into an asset or commodity such as this is a “hedge” against inflation and a surefire way to retain its true value.

You can pick up a replica of Kate Middleton’s engagement ring from many outlets, some focusing on the exact replica and some broadening their range to all sapphire and diamond cluster sets.

However, if you don’t want to ‘invest’ in a gold and diamond replica ring, there are a a few alternatives if you want to pick up a keepsake or some memorabilia for your display cabinets.

The website “Official Royal Wedding Memorabilia” have a broad range of mugs, plates, coasters and mouse-mats available at great prices. They’ve seen activity and interest from across the globe, from as far as America and Canada and anticipate much more hype as the massive day closes in.
