Windsor Jewels Part 5

Yes...But the look is very similar to Camilla's snake necklace. Camilla may still get to use it when she became Princess Consort. The cigarette cae and the necklace is a good match.

I am talking about this one, I am pretty sure it was originally a gift from Charles to Diana, or at least I read it in a newspaper or magazine article, but perhaps it was mistaken. I'm still looking for a picture of Diana in it close up.

Hmm, I read elsewhere it was claimed it was from Camilla's family. But Diana did have one of the same design, right?

Is this the article you are talking about?

They are mistaken...Can we trust "The Star" on this ?

Get to use what? The cigarette case? What can she use it for when she doesn't smoke, or does she?

I can see now that the snake necklace Camilla wore with the durbar tiara, is different from Diana's necklace she wore with the black dress. But at first glance they do look similar, from a distance. 

That article posted by Emma,



I'm not sure if it is the one I am referring to, it looked something like that though. 

But what I want to know now is, is Camilla wearing Diana's necklace in the above pic in the article? It looks like it to me, as the necklace Camilla is wearing does not look the same as the snake necklace? If she is wearing Diana's necklace I don't approve, however I do approve of her wearing Prince of Wales feathers jewellery, which obviously should be worn by the wife of the Prince of Wales.

Where exactly does Camilla's snake necklace come from? Mrs Keppel? Does it have a connection to Edward VII?

The aquamarines out for the Embassy dinner:

I think this brooch was the one that was given to the late Queen Mother for her 100th birthday.

I think this brooch was the one that was given to the late Queen Mother for her 100th birthday.

Very few people can wear this colour without looking awful.  The Queen looks wonderful.

That's definitely one of my favourites out of the Queen's huge brooch collection. The pink rose and the diamonds - it is very beautiful and stylish. And the Queen does look great in lime.

Love the arquamarines.

From that post, is the woman standing behind Camilla, Metit-Marie of Norway??

-Duke of NJ

Which photo ?

Yes.  It is CP Mette-Marit.  She is wearing the amethyst tiara.

So, does anyone know if the necklace/s the two of them are wearing in this article, are they the same or different? It doesn't look quite like Camilla's snake necklace, so is it Diana's necklace?

[emeraldeyes1969]

I am trying to track down a better photo of Camilla at whatever event that is pictured - it is taking some time; it still looks like the serpent piece to me. 
I still hold the opinion that there are two different necklaces and that the one worn by Diana was borrowed. I can't recall it being worn again after this particular evening out, and considering her relatively small collection of diamonds, I am sure if it was actually her own piece, we would have seen it repeatedly.

Hmmm, I don't know if it was Diana's. Surely if it was not, it would not have been loaned by this mystery person to Camilla as well, wouldn't that be a bit of a coincidence? Camilla would be aware Diana wore it I am sure. I think there are two necklaces as well - the fringe one we'll call it, and the serpent one. But I can't see a serpent head on that Camilla picture in the article and the necklace is sitting in the exact same position on both of them it seems.
