History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Duchess of Cornwall's chokers

The duchess of Cornwall also has :

- 3 strand pearl necklace with a sapphire and diamond clasp ;
- A 4 strand pearl necklace with a gold clasp (a new one) ;
- A 4 strand pearl necklace with a small diamond clasp

The Duchess of Cornwall has worn on least 60 different necklaces since her wedding.

Last but not least, we should rename the choker n°5, as we now know its origin !

Maria Olivia recently asked how many chokers the Duchess of Cornwall has.

I have taken a loose definition of a choker, meaning a set of pearls which sit close to the throat. I know that, in reality, some should be classified as necklace and not chokers.

1. Choker with the large pink topaz centre.

2. Choker with small amethyst clasp -- worn for her engagement evening.

3. Choker with amethyst and diamond centre.

4. Choker with pink beads and what looks like a garnet clasp.

I think that all three below are the same item.

5. Choker with large diamond centre

6. choker with aquamarine centre

Have I missed any? I think I may have as I have not concentrated on the Duchess' jewels.
