The Most Over-the-Top Gifts Prince William Has Given Kate Middleton

Four years after meeting, and 18 months after they officially started dating, William first showed his affection for Kate in 2005, with a rose-gold, pearl-and-garnet-studded Victorian ring. Sounds just OK but its significance lies in the stones, as Will's birthstone is pearls while garnets are Kate's.

They broke up in 2007 but three and a half years later, they were back in fine form. In fact, so fine that Will popped the question with his late mother's epic engagement ring — 12-carat Ceylon sapphire, surrounded by 14 diamonds set in 18-carat white gold.

Another piece from Princess Diana's collection, the sapphire and diamond earrings were given to Kate and match the engagement ring. The Princess of Wales wore them as studs but Kate had them redesigned as drops and debuted them three months after their wedding day, during their first Canada tour.

After Kate's barfy pregnancy, she was due an extravagant push present. And what better way for William to show his love and affection and appreciation for his wife than by gifting her with a Annoushka diamond eternity ring?

By this point, you must be wondering where Will and Kate get all their money from.

It was reported that Will also gave Kate a flower brooch with a pink diamond at its centre which, according to the Daily Express, was commissioned by the princess from the Queen's jewelers especially for his wife.

Sapphire is clearly their favourite so for their third wedding anniversary, Will reportedly gave Kate a Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch, embedded with one of the blue stones. Think it's safe to say George loves it.

Similar to their first Christmas, these green tourmaline, green amethyst and diamond earrings were custom made for Kate, and celebrate the birth of Princess Charlotte.
