Sarah Chatto HRH Princess Margaret

Wishful thinking on my part, but I would love to see her in a formal portrait in an evening gown with little embellishment wearing one of Queen Alexandra's Diamond Collier Resille (if it is still in the vaults) or something similar with chandelier earrings and the Queen Alexandra's tassel...

I could be wrong but those earrings look a lot like a pair that the Princess Royal wore in 1973 for an official portrait, paired with the Scroll Tiara.Princess Anne - a portrait | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I look at Catherine's recent pieces such as the disk pendant in a similar light of Diana's "D" pendant or her paste earrings. They are representative of the times but eventually she will wear historical pieces as well as accumulate some of her own. And I can't wait until we see her in some grand...

I was just browsing through one of the British Jewels of the past threads and came across the Teck Circlet (or circle) necklace. This site is such a treasure trove of information. I would love to see this beautiful necklace around the neck of the Duchess of Cambridge. It has some nice historical...

Does anyone know if the Rundell Tiara is on the larger size a la Boucheron or a bit more compact like the Lovers Knot? It's tough to tell based on the hairstyle of the time.

http://newspix.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Zara-Philips-Mike-Tindal-Retro/G0000d1gYh2HwEYI/I000023UdsmAaUcE I find Catherine, D of C's hat for the wedding very similar to one that Zara wore recently. Zara's had a much larger flower and was by Philip Treacy

Never mind, just found the earrings in an engagement photo of her mother and Captain Mark Phillips from 1972. she has them paired with the Festoon Tiara. She looks stunning.

I read her book hoping that at the end of it she would have some redeemable qualities but I just ended up feeling like a sucker for spending my $$. It was so self indulgent and all I kept thinking was "what would happen if she had some real problems?" All of her debts are for her personal...

Camilla, D of C has found a consistent and in my opinion, regal style. It is age appropriate and suits her station in life. Catherine, D of C seems to also be finding her own place and I'm happy to see that she let the bride shine on her day (more in line with HM the Queen Mother than Diana...

I live in Toronto and there was a recent Toronto Then and Now Blog where they showed where GD Olga lived before she passed away. Very meagre ending to such a grand life. Here is a link to the article. Toronto Then and Now: # 13 ~ Toronto's Imperial Russian Connections, Then and Now

I'm a fan of charm bracelets since they can tell a story about the individual that is wearing a bracelet, give some hints to the relationship with the person who has gifted the charms and can build the story over years and decades. That said, the current charm reminds me a bit of the Tiffany...

This question may be better suited to the Jewels section, but is the D of Cambridge wearing the same earrings that the Princess of Wales wore in 1986. I can't enlarge it enough to see the detail.

Thank you! I found a treasure trove of information in the Royal Jewels.

I have a few books about royal jewels--Suzy Menkes, Leslie Field and a few on the Romanovs. Are there any others that you could recommend?

Interesting topic! I just saw this post on Facebook and thought that it was interesting because the designer is a Jewellery professor at a College in Canada. I think that this is a beautiful tiara. Diamonds from Royal Asscher grace Great Britain’s Crown Jewels. Because Royalty is our...

She did so well and looked so happy.

Agreed 100%

I have empathy for this young couple who have every decision they make dissected by those who have absolutely no way of knowing what's really going on. Yes, lovely to be royal, but also it is an often a truly heavy burden. :flowers: Very good point. I think that people often forget that we...

I don't believe that the blue sapphire brought about a bad marriage. The two individuals in the marriage both played a part in the downfall.

I have to disagree. The make up of a wedding party does not make a marriage. A wedding ring does not make or break a marriage. The relationship foundation that they have laid over the past 8 years and the future that they will build is what will help their marriage succeed.

Here, here! I'm happy to see that some of William and Kate's compromises with tradition are being considered but this isn't your average "hollywood" wedding. It's the pomp, history and tradition of it all that makes it so interesting.

Was Queen Mary's Emerald Stomacher passed along to another member of the family or is this still within the royal vaults? Are there any shots of the QM or HM wearing it?

The Essex Tiara would be perfect but alas is not an option

On a more shallow note, does anyone know if the statement necklace that Princess Beatrice wore for the Christmas Day Church Service at Sandringham has any historical significance? It was quite large and worn outside of her jacket.
