The knockoffs have arrived! If you love Kate Middleton's stunning 18-carat sapphire engagement ring but can't quite get over the royal price tag, you're in luck. The frenzy surrounding the engagement has already led QVC to design a cost-friendly knockoff for just $39.54, reports WWD.The lookalike ring on QVC, which won't be shipping until 12/20, was designed by Kenneth Jay Lane. But it doesn't end there. Lookalike rings have also popped up on Amazon.com (for about $60) and on websites like Emitations.com (also about $60). Perhaps not surprisingly, most of the websites are currently sold out.
Kate's sapphire ring, which was originally used for Princess Diana's engagement in 1981, cost about $45,000 at the time, but is estimated at $110,000 today with inflation adjustments. What do you think? Would you want a sapphire engagement ring like Kate's?
