Rings That Captured the World’s Attention
Over the centuries, some famous wedding rings have become legendary for their design and the stories behind them. These standouts include royal heirlooms and Hollywood-worthy sparklers, each one highlighting personal style and a special sense of romance. At Argyle Jewellers, we appreciate how these iconic pieces influence modern tastes—and how they can inspire something entirely new.
From Palaces to Red Carpets
One of the best-known rings is Princess Diana’s sapphire, now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, which dazzles with a vibrant centre stone surrounded by diamonds. Elizabeth Taylor’s Asscher-cut diamond also turned heads in Hollywood, showcasing a less common diamond cut that emphasised clarity. Meanwhile, Jacqueline Kennedy’s emerald-and-diamond ring demonstrated how mixing precious stones can create a distinctly individual look.
Echoes of History in Modern Designs
These pieces endure in public memory partly because they broke away from the norm. Their distinctive cuts, gem choices, and settings made them stand out in any room. Today, many couples take cues from these notable examples—whether by selecting an untraditional gemstone or favouring an antique-inspired band. Some also opt for rarer finds like Argyle pink diamonds, drawn to their soft blush tone and unmatched exclusivity.

At Argyle Jewellers, we believe that the best rings tell a personal story. For couples wanting a one-of-a-kind piece, our custom design service offers full creative freedom.
