The necklace looks very old. To me, who knows nothing really about jewels, it looks more 18th or 19th century 'old rose cut' which is the biz. I can't stand seeing modern Diamonds at the auction Houses or wherever that look like they've been cut and polished to within an inch of their lives and probably lost half their weight or nearly in the process. They all look like crystal to meLovely to see the Indian tiara on the Duchess, such an interesting piece! I can't place the pendant of the necklace, does anybody know more?
Her diamond flowers, also worn to the coronation.It looks like she is using diamond floral elements as buttons on her clothing.
The duchess looked so regal and yes the tiara was my highlight too!The Duchess looked fantastic, and her jewels, especially the unique tiara were the highlight of this occasion for me.
