Duchess of Cornwall’s diamonds outshine Queen
From News.com.au - THE DUCHESS of Cornwall has out-dazzled the Queen in one of the most opulent royal necklaces ever seen. Its five strands of diamonds covered her decolletage and made the Queen’s jewels look quite modest as they attended the Queen’s banquet for the Commonwealth Heads of Government in Kampala, Uganda, on Friday. But Camilla didn’t deliberately set out to overshadow her mother-in-law - the Queen gave her permission to borrow it from the royal collection. Camilla’s favourite couturier, Anna Valentine, designed her a simple duck-egg blue dress and matching stole to set off the necklace, estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars. The Duchess added the Queen Mother’s Boucheron tiara, a set of diamond earrings and the Queen Elizabeth II Family Order, given to female members of the royal family. The Queen wore an equally stunning tiara and the Nizam of Hyderabad’s diamond necklace over a white lace dress.
Why can’t she opt for the simple elegance of a half bezel pendant with our Whiteflash A Cut Above as the center stone. I used to be so wowed by all these diamonds. Funny pictures — thanks for the entry.
The necklace is beautiful but I must be honest…not on her…I agree with debi…
She would look so much better in the Omega pieces, that crown is too much.
