it\u2019s
\na Marguerite shape, a particular floral motif, and just so
\nbeautiful. The fact that it shares our name made it feel very
\nmagical.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nMargarita was named after Princess Margaret, who died three
\nmonths before she was born. In fact, her full name is a combination
\nof several of those that belonged to her grandmother, her great
\ngrandmother and her great aunt \u2013 she is Lady Margarita Elizabeth
\nRose Alleyne Armstrong-Jones.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s long been thought that the engagement ring was designed to
\nlook like a rosebud, in a nod to Princess Margaret\u2019s middle name of
\nRose. There are very few close ups of the ring but it is definitely
\na floral design featuring rubies and diamonds and it was created by
\nLady Margarita\u2019s grandfather, Antony Armstrong-Jones, later the 1st
\nEarl of Snowdon.<\/p>\n
Princess Margaret and Lady Margarita share a link to both the
\nmarguerite and the rose in their names and so the ring can be seen
\nas a double link between the two.<\/p>\n
Lady Margarita, who is studying jewellery design in Florence
\nwhile making her own pieces as well, also spoke of the granny she
\nnever met. She said she\u2019d been told her grandmother was \u201ddefinitely
\na big earring woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Princess Margaret was known for her sense of style and her
\nengagement ring reflected that. When she announced she was going to
\nmarry Antony Armstrong-Jones, in February 1960, she was seen with
\nthe ring in their engagement photos which were taken at Royal Lodge
\non the Windsor estate, now at the centre of the row around Andrew
\nMountbatten Windsor who is to leave the property imminently after
\nlosing all his royal titles.<\/p>\n
The wedding of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones was
\nthe first royal marriage to be televised. They wed at Westminster
\nAbbey on May 6 1960.<\/p>\n
They went on to have two children \u2013 David, now Earl of Snowdon
\nand father of Lady Margarita, and Lady Sarah Chatto \u2013 before
\ndivorcing in 1978.<\/p>\n
