Duchess of Cambridge Wedding Band and Engagement Ring

Prince William had a little trouble placing the snug gold wedding band onto Catherine Middleton's finger during the wedding ceremony, but it glided into place after passing her knuckle. She slid her sapphire and diamond engagement ring in front of the yellow gold band before attending the Queen's reception for the couple, held at Buckingham Palace.

Kate's gold band was fashioned from a piece of Welsh gold, a tradition for British Royal Family members. William will not wear a wedding band.
