Duchess of Cornwall's chokers Posted by Beth on June 25, 2019, 2:16 pm 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.

Re: Duchess of Cornwall's chokers Posted by Franck on June 25, 2019, 6:45 pm, in reply to "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 ! Franck Previous Message Maria Olivia recently asked how many chokers the Duchess of Cornwall has.

Re: Duchess of Cornwall's chokers Posted by Bryce on June 26, 2019, 5:42 am, in reply to "Duchess of Cornwall's chokers" I think there may be a couple more. Please see my compilation from the Royal Jewels Lists http://royaljewelslists.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=96

Re: Duchess of Cornwall's chokers Posted by Beth on June 27, 2019, 10:41 am, in reply to "Re: Duchess of Cornwall's chokers" Many thanks Franck, Maridje and Bryce. That makes 9 choker style pearl necklaces worn by the Duchess. I had completely forgotten about the first choker in Bryce's post: the one with the small pink stone centre. It is a beautiful item, so I wonder why we do not see it more.

Re: Duchess of Cornwall's chokers Posted by Dave on July 1, 2019, 2:06 am, in reply to "Re: Duchess of Cornwall's chokers" What a collection. It smacks of sophistication and great wealth, she outruns many of the other Queens in Europe by far as only a duchess. Regards, Dave. Previous Message I think there may be a couple more.
