London’s May Fair hotel is offering two fabulous packages in celebration of the Royal Wedding.
The first features a sumptuous long weekend stay with a traditional full English breakfast, special Royal Afternoon tea with handcrafted Crystal Royal Wedding champagne toasting flutes, to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, for a princely rate of £850 per room for a three-night stay.
Then there is the most opulent experience to mark this historic occasion there is the “Azure Suite and Sapphire” package.
Starting from £9,500 per room for a three-night stay in the hotel’s signature Azure Suite, fit for a King….and a sapphire engagement ring included!!!
Designed by celebrity Jeweller, “Jooal Fine Jewellery” of Mayfair, the Jeweller can design a replica ring of the moment or also design a bespoke ring.
Guests will have the options to choose from one-,two- three- eight- or 18-carat sapphire ring set with a half carat of diamonds in white gold.
In the heart of the most exclusive district of London, The May Fair hotel’s opulent décor and distinguished clientele, means there is nowhere more perfect in which to celebrate this fairy tale Royal Wedding.
Goldsmiths have produced a rather stunning engagement ring….Hey! I have seen this one before!
With its oval blue sapphire surrounded by a cluster of 14 diamonds, Goldsmiths have created a replica of the ring Prince William has given Kate Middleton.
Lady Diana Spencer chose it for her engagement to Prince Charles in 1981 from a selection presented to her by the then Crown jewellers Garrard of Mayfair. It cost £28,500 and Sapphires were one of the late Princess’s favourite gemstones.
Some commentators say she chose it because it reminded her of her mother’s engagement ring.
Now you too can ‘get the look’ at a fraction of the price with Goldsmith’s beautiful new engagement ring, set in carefully crafted 18ct white gold with a stunning sapphire surrounded by exquisite diamonds, with a total weight of 0.33ct.
This distinctive ring can be yours for just £999.
The Goldsmith’s Wedding Lines will be available in stores nationwide and online.
