The design seems rather modern to me, so my guess is that it is a gift from the PoW.

I think that it's one of the gifts she recieved in Saudi Arabia but I can't be sure. If it was a gift from Charles we would have seen her wearing them before, so this has to be something she picked up last year or this year. That leaves Egypt, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc. My bet is that it's a gift from the Saudi King who is well known for giving ladies jewels.

I don't it would be reset like that. The sapphires would have to be reshaped too. I think this must be a new piece, the question is - is it a gift from Charles or a gift from a foreign admirer?

I would hope not. Camilla's necklace is dazzling just because of the size of the stones, but it isn't particularly beautiful. The Queen Mother's saphire necklace IS beautiful, why would anyone mess with it or its history. If I were very cynical I might suggest that perhaps the recent tours were profitable for the Duchess's jewel box.

Well, you wouldn't be being cynical, it's well known that the Middle Eastern Royals are extremely generous. For example, the Sultan of Brunei is known to give tips in the form of small bags of rubies. I think that the King of Saudi Arabia has given Camilla these and instead of keeping them until she meets him again, she's giving them a good little outing.

I have to say that wherever it came from, it's a pretty amazing piece and there seems to be a blue bracelet too. In the future, it could become a parure, what with the blue sapphires that the Queen sometimes wears. I'm not sure of it's name but the Queen wears two sapphire rings, a sapphire and diamond necklace, two sapphire bracelets and a pair of sapphire earrings. Well, the necklace of that parure is a little plain IMO and this necklace of Camilla's would be perfect to replace it. But that's just my dreams!

Why can not be this necklace from a Middle East country and a gift from Charles too: I mean, maybe he bought it on the foreighn trip to give it then to his wife as a love gift...

It's a beautiful piece of jewelry and it suits Camilla.
I also think it's a gift from some abroad visit, though it can also be a gift from Prince Charles. For some reason the necklace is terribly familiar to me. Maybe they reminded me of the the Queen's saphires.

I think the "new" necklace of unknown origin would make a lovely tiara for her if it were mounted properly.

I agree iowabelle. It would make a good tiara for Camilla but she'd then need a Sapphire and Diamond necklace to go with it.
