Prince William had barely stood up from proposing with the ring his father gave his mother in 1981, when knockoffs began appearing online. Diana’s original ring, an 18-carat sapphire surrounded by 14 diamonds, is now Kate’s, but for the low, low price of $19.90 the
Royal Heirloom Ring and its simulated “Ceylon” sapphire and 14 X-4 cubic zirconia can be yours. But caveat emptor: not only is the ring fake, but the esteemed organization that sells it, The British Historic Society, does not actually exist.
