Once the cat is out of the bag... (or the squirrel is in the wheel...)
It seems to be near-impossible to stop internet misinformation, even when in this case subsequent posts clearly explain the picture is a mock-up.
I've put a rider in red and bold type under the link in question in the hope the picture won't be further misrepresented.
Wow, thank you SO much for this link. I really enjoyed watching it. It's amazing seeing the amount of jewelery that she was given, the amount of attention that she got from it, and just from being such a beautiful person. She truly was beautiful. It was really sad though seeing her face at the last public gathering with Charles. Her face was just full of sadness. You could see that she was extremely unhappy. It's amazing, even with all that she had.. it just goes to show that even those who have everything can still be unhappy in the long run. Makes me want to cry. She reminds me of myself a little bit. She was so shy. She just wasn't ready to be Princess I think. It's amazing how much of a difference Camilla's public perception is.. And it makes me a little sad seeing the jewels passed on to the next wife. I'm glad that they got the Spencer Tiara back. I didn't know what happened to it. It hasn't been seen since and now is at the Spencer estate? Are people allowed in the estate, is there anything set up where you can see the tiara or do you have to be family to be allowed in?
None of Diana's jewels have been "passed on to the next wife". The Lover's Knot tiara was returned to the Queen, the rest of her jewels were left to William and Harry.
The Spencer Tiara belongs to the Earl Spencer. It was returned to Diana's brother some time before her death.
Thanks for sharing the pics, Jcbcode99! I love this set, it has such a delicate design! It really stands out.
The Spencers own quite a few lovely pieces!
This is very interesting! Does anyone know if there are more jewels worn by both women?
Hardly; but Boffer has the best connections in this case, and I do not remember him deciding to share any information which turned out to be wrong in retrospect.
Actually, I'm not. The further the discussion went, the more apparent it became that it was either one piece or two completely identical ones, and the latter possibility did not make that much sense IMHO - neither historically nor technically in terms of craftsmanship.
Absolutely correct.
In the first pic she wears Chanel false jewels,but these are lovely earrings
I love these earrings specially,the pearl ones of first pic ,and the wonderful earrings of last pic and the costume jewelry of the second pic.Thanks maryamj
The aquamarine ring as well as the bracelet are not costume jewelry but the 'real thing'.In the first pic she wears Chanel false jewels,but these are lovely earrings
She was very fond of using false jewels,but she always chose exquisite false jewels...I like specially the purse and ring of the last two pics I selected
Yes of course,I meant costume jewelry to the first pic of Chanel.I never said the last pics were false jewels,on the contrary....
I am surprised that you say that Boris. The last time this came up I had posted an article about Camilla wearing this piece and was roundly flamed as 'Camilla would never do that..and we have established that they are 2 different jewels'. It always seemed to me that 'the 2' were identical.
Same over here.
