When Prince William proposed to long term girlfriend Kate Middleton with his late mother Princess Diana’s engagement ring, the stunning 18ct sapphire and diamond engagement ring fit Kate’s ring finger perfectly.

Since then, news of her Engagement Ring travelled worldwide with many stores stocking replica rings and market traders importing look-a-like engagement rings for people on the street to buy, wear and enjoy.

One such market in Brazil is stocking cheap replica engagement rings for girls and ladies to wear and become like princesses too. The engagement ring is being bought mainly by “Royal Watchers”, those who ardently follow the British Royal Family and the trends they set and the styles they follow. Royal Watchers also appear in their own section on Facebook.

The Brazilian replica engagement ring is said to be on sale for under £10, many, many thousands of pounds less than the original. According to Vanity Fair, the wedding will take place next year in 2011 before the Queen celebrates her Diamond Jubilee (60 years on the throne) in February 2012 and before the London Olympics in 2012.

With plastic, glass or cubic zirconia faux diamonds and a pseudo-sparkling “rock” representing the sapphire gemstone, the Brazilian replica engagement ring offers great pleasure to those purchasing the rings and to those receiving them.
