The studded diamond hair pin |
Sri Lanka has gifted a Ceylon Sapphire studded diamond hair pin to
Kate Middleton who marries Britain's Prince William today. The
state-owned Sri Lanka Gem and Jewellery Authority (SLGJA) said the gift
was in appreciation of the British Royal family's association with
Ceylon Sapphires over many generations.
"This is the first ever international campaign aimed at raising
awareness about the rarity and value of the Ceylon Sapphire," SLGJA
chief Macky Hashim said. The hair pin had already been delivered to the
Middletons, Hashim said.
Kate Middleton already wears a blue Ceylon Sapphire engagement ring,
coming from the late Princess Diana, the mother of the groom, Prince
William. |
