Charles is known to have acquired a number of Camilla's pieces at various auctions. Others are purchased privately through jewelers.
Since I detest just about every insect in the world, I have to say: YUCK!!

. It's indeed a necklace hard to wear and I doubt that even Queen Mary could wear something that big. Maybe Queen Alexandra could pull it off...

I think this is just about wearing her newest piece of jewellery (the pearl choker with the diamond clasp) quite a lot at the moment. Camilla had worn the pearl necklace with the purple clasp and the one with the aquamarine clasp for many years before she was married to Charles. I am sure in a few months the novelty of these new pearls will wear off and she will start to use the others more. I think the one with the pink topaz clasp is only worn at very formal events (weddings, state occassions, Ascot etc) and not really for a normal engagement.I was thinking about something recently - why doesn't Camilla wear her smaller pearl necklaces now?
I meant that even Queen Mary couldn't wear it better than Camilla.I thought that DoC wore it rather well. Having said that it is time to have that piece redone, into a nice suit of jewels that she could wear more often.
DOC is delicate in that she does not have the Plantagenet[Bigger nose and heavier jaw-like Princess Anne-] features of other royals.The heavier period pieces make her look older and matronly and her physiognomy certainly has that sparkling youthful smile and and glow from within which are overshadowed by these pieces.Camilla's face is delicately beautiful. Perhaps instead of the really heavypieces which are so for their own sake perhaps DOC could be more "eclectic" in what she wears insead of what is given to her or handed to her pr expected of her to wear.I would still like to see that one of a kind smile and sparkling eyes that DOC has underneath the jewels.Because her sparkling eyes and natural smile are the real jewels in any crown DoC will be called upon to wear.Camilla, delicate? I am afraid I fail to see where she is delicate... On the contrary, I find that she looks best in the heavier, period pieces. Off hand, I would say that Charles has quite a bit to say....
6 pearl chokers / clasps if I am not mistaken:I wonder how many pearl-chokers more she will get. She has atlast 5 if i'm count them right.
Ok thanks. Didn't count the one from the Queen Mother as choker as i think it''s more a necklace because its longer than the others.
I personally do not think that the chokers that Camilla wears during the day are too much for her "normal" engagements.
