I wonder how the 5 strand Greville diamond necklace would look if only one strand were worn. It might suit her very nicely and not be too ostentatious.

It probably would look nice but all those strands didn't look nice on her at all.

It is actually two necklaces, the short three strand and longer two strand.

I think Camilla hadn't quite found her style when she wore them.

I think it would have worked with any of these;

I think the smaller, 3 string Greville necklace might work if Camilla wore it. The 5 string was probably a bit much, but at that stage, it was important to make a statement.
 
Those are officially contenders if not winners of the title of Most Gorgeous Earrings Ever! Hello, amethyst is right! And that necklace is so gorgeous!
 
Those amethysts are magnificent. Any ideas about their provenance?
 
I too am curious about them. I think this is the 3rd time Camilla has worn these gorgeous earrings.
In March 2010, she wore what appears to be the same earrings during her visit to Czechoslovakia at a Banquet at Prague Castle. In October 2012, she wore what look to be the same earrings to the premier of the film Skyfall.
 
She wore the earrings with the same dress on February 19 2008 at the Cinema & Television Benevolent Fund Royal Film Premiere.
 
She looks fantastic! They're not jewels you can wear everyday of course so a movie premiere is as good a place as any!
 
New or a potential re-work? If so what does the older version look like?
 
Mmm wonder if Charles bought that back from his recent tour ? I find it completely over the top and don't like it at all.

It looks to be a new necklace as the old necklace's rubies are shaped differently.

Here's the older ruby and diamond necklace with oval shaped rubies rather than the pear shaped of the
new necklace.

I thought it was a reworked version at first as well but as you say, the shape is different. Probably new. Charles was in the middle east recently, you know :p

Usually I'd agree with you as I'm very much a "less is more" kind of person but somehow, this look all pulls together for me. Kind of reminiscent of the days gone by when galas and premieres were times of bringing out the very best one has and dressing to the "nines".

Camilla is a person that can pull off wearing the serious bling and the larger tiaras and I like seeing her in them.
 
i think it's a new necklace , the rubies here are not the same in the old one.
i like the way camilla wear jewels , she duzzle !

I would really like to know the story behind this necklace. Old ? Or new? I'm not feeling the love for it at all

The necklace is nice, but I just don't think Camilla carries off necklaces like that very well. I think she looks better in single strands rather than multiple rows.

Camilla really don't pull off large necklaces like that, IMO. I think she looks good in single rows of diamonds, etc.
 
The rubies are lovely but I do not like this necklace on Camilla. The length is too long and takes the eye too far down to her cleavage which IMO should be covered up way more. If it were only one strand if say fine, but this necklace is too long.
 
She needs the large necklaces etc to cover the wrinkles around her neck. Otherwise she needs to wear dresses that cover that area.


She wears the large necklaces quite well.

IMO that is not what is expected, or required from the spouse of the Heir to the Throne, at a CELEBRATORY Gala occasion...

The Duchess looks terrific, and like other guests she 'dressed to the nines'...
