I think the piece was impressive to be sure, but the simpler design of the other Saudi necklace was perfect for Camilla.
Those are an awful lot of rubies---

The workmanship is lovely, but I think there is just too much dangle there (ironic as I loved the Greville necklace on HRH) but I don't know if she would dismantle a piece and redo it--
BUT if she did, what coud we get out of this piece? At first I thought the collar part, with its geometric type design would be a nice necklace on its own, but you can seperate the other rubies and create a ruby necklace not unlike the Queen Mum's. The long diamond links could become bracelets, and some drop earrings could be made as well.
but, she must love it to have totted it across the pond to wear in the US!
