Camilla's diamond choker central piece - a possibility Posted by J-F on June 23, 2019, 11:16 pm Hello, Browsing through Queen Alexandra's wedding gifts, I realized that the central element of a diamond bracelet looks very much like one of Camilla's choker central element. I'm not 100 % sure...but the general shape match. A possibility to me as Camilla seems to have access to several of Queen Alexandra's wedding gifts : -huge emerald drops -2 brooches of diamonds and emeralds What do you thing ? Have a nice day ! J-F

Re: Camilla's diamond choker central piece - a possibility Posted by Dave on June 24, 2019, 2:18 am, in reply to "Camilla's diamond choker central piece - a possibility" An incredible find J-F, I think you are definitely onto something. There was a documentary with HM some time ago where she commented on how that much of the jewellery owned by QA was still very much intact and how many pearls she possessed. I think QA's jewellery collection may have been overshadowed by QM's her daughter in law to some extent but QA did have some magnificent necklaces and stomachers I've seen discussed on other boards before. Can we do a post on the late Queen's jewels. Regards, Dave.

Re: Camilla's diamond choker central piece - a possibility Posted by Beth on June 24, 2019, 7:13 am, in reply to "Re: Camilla's diamond choker central piece - a possibility" I have been puzzling over this for the last hour. J-F is certainly making my mind work this morning! One minute, I think the centre piece is the centre of the bracelet; the next I see differences. The bracelet J-F referred to was given to Queen Alexandra by the Ladies of Leeds for her wedding in 1863. The press in 1863 had some other sketches. Do they make it easier to decide? I cannot make up my mind. Ladies of Leeds gift Description of the gift
