Camilla's most important jewel is her husband, Prince Charles. They waited for their happiness for 35 years and still waited. For more than 12 years they have been married and happy, despite the fact that not everyone likes their union, but they do not care much. Camilla has a taste for dressing and wears gorgeous jewelry. As the wife of the heir to the throne, she has many jewels from the royal treasury at her disposal. And her own collection is pretty impressive.
Let's first admire and rejoice at this truly happy couple, and then return to jewelry.
Interestingly, the Duchess's great-grandmother, Alice Keppel, was the favorite of Prince Charles's great-grandfather, King Edward VII. They did not part for 12 years - until the king died.
Camilla's Jewels
The Duchess's jewels include two famous diamond tiaras worn by queens before her.
Tiara Darbar from Delhi
This magnificent tiara was made by London jewelers in 1911 for Queen Mary of Teck, wife of King George V and grandmother of Elizabeth II.
Tiara Greville
This tiara was named after its first owner, Margaret Greville.
Margaret, daughter of the richest beer tycoon and wife of Baron Greville, became famous for her love of jewelry. And since Margaret had no heirs, after her death in 1942, the unique collection of diamond jewelry was passed on to Queen Elizabeth, with whom she was friends.
Since 1921, the Greville tiara, also known as the "Tiara-Honeycomb" due to the fact that its pattern was composed of hexagons with diamond inserts, looked like this:
Subsequently, its design was changed at the request of the Queen Mother. As a result of these changes, the tiara began to look more elegant.
Now this tiara can be seen on the head of the Duchess Camilla. She puts it on for especially solemn events.
Another magnificent piece of jewelry inherited by the royal court from Mrs Greville is a necklace composed of five rows of platinum and diamonds. This necklace can be split in two and can be worn as a two-piece or three-piece piece.
The famous "Honeycomb" tiara and necklace together make up a magnificent diamond set for the royal family.
The earrings in this diamond set were included in a different way. For a long time, one of the London jewelers kept a diadem that once belonged to Camilla's great-grandmother, Alice Keppel. Upon learning of this, the prince bought the tiara. Some of the stones from it went to earrings, which Charles gave Camilla, and from the rest of the diamonds of various sizes and shapes they made a necklace.
Camilla also has other tiaras that belong to her personally.
Ruby tiara
Camille got this tiara from her famous great-grandmother Alice Keppel. Only Camilla likes to wear it more not as a tiara, but as a necklace around her neck.
Diamond flower tiara
Another tiara passed to Camilla by inheritance - from her grandmother Sonya Rosemary Cabitt, Baroness Eshkome.
Duchess Necklace
Of the rest of the jewelry, Camilla prefers necklaces and earrings for them, respectively. From their travels in the Middle East in the immediate aftermath of their weddings in 2006 and 2014, the couple Charles and Camilla returned with sumptuous gifts of necklaces made from a variety of diamonds and rubies.
In 2006, in addition to the ruby necklace, the couple received two more necklaces - made of diamonds with emeralds and sapphires.
More necklaces:
Today many ladies of the royal families still wear chokers. Camilla also loves chokers, and she also loves pearls very much. These are the decorations you can see on it:
The family heirloom that Camilla received from her mother is a pearl choker with aquamarine set in gold and diamonds.
This antique brooch with pink topaz surrounded by diamonds, Camilla also inserted into the choker. A set of topaz, consisting of a brooch and earrings, was presented to Camilla by Prince Charles, who bought it at Sotheby's.
There are many in Camilla's collection and various brooches, but that's another story …
