Could ib be sapphires in Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's wedding gift from the King and Queen totally re-set? But it looks little Arabic designe.Warren said:A rather spectacular diamond and sapphire necklace worn by the Duchess of Cornwall to the Prince's Trust Gala, November 2006.
To me it seems very middle-east in it's design... Perhaps a gift from one of the rulers who often presents jewels to visiting royal european ladies...Warren said:A rather spectacular diamond and sapphire necklace worn by the Duchess of Cornwall to the Prince's Trust Gala, November 2006.
The Queen Mum's appear to be Octagon and Emerald cut Sapphires, Camillas Oval. It would be unusual to try to cut stones to a new shape, IMO.magnik said:Could it be sapphires in Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's wedding gift from the King and Queen totally re-set?
