Royal Jewels

[Daisys and Diamonds]

I love double clips! Or twin brooches, for that matter.
Bjt I believe in this case the dress was designed/chosen specifically to showcase the sapphire necklace. Like Mary's iconic red dress.

Mary is bringing her family home to Tassie for the xmas holidays this year

warning -rant alert !

i cant find a photo of Queen Mathilde from Monday's get together at Clarence house ???


im really pi**ed off
this should be getting much more media coverage, instead of H&M dominating the gutter press and Zara's hubbie doing reality tv for God sake !

this is really important event to raise awareness of violence against women and girls.
300 high profile ladies
even Fiona Bruce!

.....hmmm perhaps Queen Mathilde wasnt at Clarence house ?

Mathilde didn't attend on Monday, no need to rant

ETA: I wish Princess Mabel of Oranje-Nassau attended as well. She's done a lot for women's welfare.

Let's hope they'll dust off the bling at the reception for the Diplomatic Corps in December. I hope the Wessexes and The Princess Royal will attend, as before.

Camilla wore a Faberge brooch!


Mathilde wore large solitaire diamond earrings. The pics from Buckingham palace are blurry, so here's one from the State Visit to Lithuania


Not bad for an event that's obviously not about jewels. As for coverage, I don't think Tatler is the place to go for this sort event. At least if you're looking for more than attendees and pics.

honestly it was a last resort
i was looking evevrywhere - it was like evevryone was asleep


and unfortunatly what has now happened with Prince William's God mother the nature of the event will now be completly overshadowed

this should have made our tv news lat night but it did not
The reception aimed to raise awareness about violence against women and girls, and was part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign organized annually by the United Nations. Some of Camilla's guests have been involved for years in the battle to eradicate violence against women.

one tiara we probably wont be seeing in May


purley from a jewlery watching perspective OMG the lady looks amazing
why the F couldnt she have made polite converstion about that !

Well, people are talking about the event but for two very different reasons!
Lady Hussy's remarks were unfortunate, but I don't think we have the whole story here. Not her perspective anyway. An yes, I'll miss her at events, state and otherwise.

 

[prince.of.preslav]

and at the basketball

Sapphires, pearls and a heavy gold chain with a dark blue turtleneck, a black coat and a dressy blue jacket? Sorry, but isn't this a bit too much for a sports game?
The jewels are nice, but I think she missed the right times to wear them... and the clothes.
On another note, I like William's unbuttoned shirt.

well considering its inside in presumably a nice warm arena, not a ruby match out in the winter cold and yes more casual jewlery for sports, although i have noticed the girls in the NZ cricket team seem to always sport a bit of nice tastful jewlery

the first time my dad took me to the rugby (we had been going to the cricket together for several years ) he said its not a fashion show, just be warm although he was a memeber so we dressed nice in the memeber's stand
but Carrisbrook was cold, it was cold in summer, it was freezing in winter

at least C not wearing kikkis although maybe they would be fine for the basketball

royal variety performance
very hard to see the earrings etc

 

[prince.of.preslav]

The Earl and Countess of Wessex attended the Royal Variety Performance tonight at Royal Albert Hall, London. This is their first time at the RVP, of which the Monarch is Patron.


It was a double debut for the Countess - not only her first Royal Variety Performance, but also her first time in these sapphire fringe earrings and cliseter ring.

It appears that the Countess had previously worn the earrings during the Platinum Jubilee visit to Gibraltar

Countess of Wessex and Edward begin day two of their Gibraltar visit

The Countess of Wessex was a vision in blue this morning as she and Prince Edward, 58, stepped out in Gibraltar to tour the Moorish Castle Estate. The couple were greeted by dozens of children.

Unfortunately, that is a reflection of the mentality of *some* of the older generation, in that anyone who is not a WASP is a foreigner!

My ex father-in-law was like that - always referred me as "your kind" even though I had lived in this country for over 30 years, having born a Brit and was a holder of a British overseas national status until I became a full Brit in 1991!

His attitude to foreigners was so appalling to the point that I would consider him as a racist, and I avoided visiting him and his wife as much as I possibly could.

I was the Wicked Witch of the East when my ex and I decided to part company, and he had to defend me to his family.

[prince.of.preslav]

@dk168 , sorry to hear about your own experience and mistreatment by your ex f-i-l. I think both ladies could've handled it differently. I'll leave it at that, since it's deviating from our topic too much.

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Sophie's earrings are by GRAFF. I think it's their Nuage collection.
Charlene of Monaco wore a similar pair in 2019 at the National day gala (with rubies).



And here is a better picture of the sapphire ring

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Her wedding earrings! And finally a decent pic of her e-ring!

Ooer, could they be foreign gifts perhaps?

Too tasteful to be foreign gifts perhaps IMHO!
