And I was surprised to discover the amethysts were just that. For some reason I had always imagined they were paste (she did go through a very big Butler and Wilson period), but of course, I see now that they were priceless. Silly me.
My favourite Diana jewel I guess has to be the sapphire necklace from the Saudi's for the wedding gift. I just thought that was stunning. Such a shame there wasn't a tiara bunged in too... those stingy Sheikhs!

Welcome to the Boards, James in London - always nice to have a new voice and perspective on the topics here.
Of course amethysts are actually one of the (generally) less expensive stones, so they are undoubtedly genuine. Their deep colour makes them more desirable, naturally.
Looking forward to hearing more from you! - Welcome again...
