prince.of.preslav Ideal Rock Total Posts: 826 Last Post: 2/9/2010 Member Since: 7/24/2008	This is the official photograph from HRH Camilla, DoC's 60th BD in 2007. For the occasion HM loaned her The Queen Mother's Coronation Necklace. HRH wore it again (with the Honeycomb tiara and same dress) when Nicolas Sarkozy made his first state visit to UK. Does enyboby know anything about the bracelet? Looks like Art Deco to me.

westjenn Cut Rock Total Posts: 388 Last Post: 1/30/2010 Member Since: 1/3/2006	Date: 6/16/2009 12:39:35 PM Author: prince.of.preslav The best known (and my favourite ring) jewel from QEQM's collection that is now with Camilla is the engagement ring. The ring has a strong connection with Queen Elizabeth and The Queen. It was presented to The Duchess of York, when she gave birth to the future Elizabeth II on 1926. Since then QEQM often wore the ring on her left hand, replacing the ering. I love Camilla's engagement ring. It's my favorite of all the royals. Thanks for posting!

BTW the picture shows Queen Mother with the ring. The ring, as well as its previous owner, is a my favourite of all the rings in all the royal houses. I just forgot to say that the biggest stone is a 7 or 8ct emerald cut diamond. There are three smaller stones on each side. That makes seven in total. Bobby

prince.of.preslav Ideal Rock Total Posts: 826 Last Post: 2/9/2010 Member Since: 7/24/2008	The Prince of Wales gave several brooches with his insignia, The PoW feathers, to women, that were his dear friends. One of the recipients was Camilla Parker Bowls. Here she wears her brooch along with QEQM's three row pearl necklace with diamond clasp. The duchess often wears the necklace with the clasp "at 9 o'clock"(shown here) or in front(above post), rather than the traditional back side. The picture also provides a good view of the diamond cluster and pearl earrings, that seem to be one of her favourites.

You can also see the large pearl necklace, Camilla first wore durring the visit to South America, and a nice pair of pearl drop earrings. The photo is from the Wales' visit to Vaticana.

prince.of.preslav Ideal Rock Total Posts: 826 Last Post: 2/9/2010 Member Since: 7/24/2008	Except of Queen Mother's jewels, Camilla has worn several that belonged to Queen Alexandra. The jewels are - A PoW feather brooch with emerald pendant (very similar to Diana's), a pair of emerald earrings and a bangle. Check this for more information and photos.

This is the first time she's worn these jewels together. The five row diamond necklace and tiara, among other jewels, was left to QUQM by Margaret Greville in 1942. The earrings can be seen in the First Wedding Anniversary post.

Her royal highness wears new eye catching sapphire, diamond and ruby earrings. The other earring has round ruby stud and a sapphire pendant. P.S. Camilla has also worn the leek brooch. If anyone has a picture, please post it.

prince.of.preslav Ideal Rock Total Posts: 826 Last Post: 2/9/2010 Member Since: 7/24/2008	Hi, jewelerman! Are you talking about the chain bracelet, worn in Ascot on 16 June? Yesterday I was thnking that Camilla hasn't worn any serious emerald jewels. Today when I visited Getty Images, I saw Camilla with a gorgeous emeard demi-parure. I've read that Mrs Greville left QEQM an emerald necklace. I've seen a picture, but didn't save it and I can't remember how the jewel looks like. May this one be the one left from Mrs Greville? Here you can see the bracelet. I think that The Duchess of Cornwall looks magnifiscent with the white jacket and emeralds. The contrast between the colours shows the emeralds in their full glitter.

Bobby I believe that this was the Greville necklace you were referring to, Bobby. The other famous Greville necklace is the magnificent 5-row diamond necklace Camilla is wearing on the 13th post on this page. Isn't the emerald necklace stunning?

prince.of.preslav Ideal Rock Total Posts: 826 Last Post: 2/9/2010 Member Since: 7/24/2008	Hi, Everybody! I chacked the list of gifts recived by TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, when they visited Saudi Aarabia in March 2006. There are three necklaces(parures) given to The Duchess of Cornwall - a ruby, a sapphire and an emerald necklace. So far we've seen the ruby and the sapphire ones, so it's possible that the one worn yesterday is the gift from the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia. Hi, shadowed rain! The necklace that you posted isn't the Greville inheritance. It's another "G" - The Godman necklace. It was presented to HM by the Godman sisters. They "inherited the necklace from their father Frederick Du Cann, a British naturalist, who purchased the necklace whilst on a holiday in Bavaria in the 1890s". The necklace was belived to have belonged to Empress Josephine of France, but later it became cler that this can't be true, due to the lack of Neo-Classical elements. In the first (b&w) picture you can see HM wearing emerald earrings, that once belonged to Queen Victoria. These earrings were worn as pendants of the bow brooches at Eduard VII and Queen Alexandra's coronaion. Bobby

I don't know about you, but to me The Queen looks better with her three row necklace. The picture shows the bracelet, mantioned by jewelerman. Looks like there is a turquoise and sapphire.

shadowed_rain Rough Rock Total Posts: 85 Last Post: 2/2/2010 Member Since: 2/4/2009	You're absolutely correct. I'm going to claim late night disorientation Thanks for pointing out my error, Bobby. But nonetheless, the Godman necklace is stunning...thank goodness the queen decided to accept the gift from the sisters rather than reject it on Prince Philip's advice! And speaking of Empresses and also since I seem to be on an emeralds tangent, here's Empress Marie-Louise's famous necklace.

Thank goodness the Queen accepted the jewels, but thanks the sisters for offering it. The Empress' necklace on the other hand is another example of fine emerald jewellery, but is not my cup of tea. I don't think jewels from that era are my cup of tea at all. From the French collection I like the sapphres most of all their jewels.

I know we're all fond of Diana and I hope my post isn't offensive, but wasn't Diana the one that interfered in Charles and Camilla's relations? I mean that the PoW and Camilla were dating, he was probably going to propose her and then Prince Charles was sent on military mission, I belive. When he rettrned Camilla was married to his sister's ex-boyfriend and a new suitable lady was in search for the heir.

I don't believe that Camilla was suitable for marriage to Prince Charles because she wasn't a virgin. Diana had to be "certified" a virgin before she could marry him and produce his heirs. Charles truly loved Camilla, but he knew he couldn't marry her and she could never be his Queen....at least back then. He married Diana out of duty. Think of the life they must have had together. Things sure have change now, haven't they? Lori My Pretty Kitty Coco
