This afternoon, the King and Queen bid a formal farewell to Their Highnesses The Amir and Sheika Jawaher of Qatar at Buckingham Palace.
Her Majesty, radiant in a burgundy cape dress, accessorised with a stunning pearl and amethyst choker from her private collection, adding an elegant touch to the occasion.
Fine jewellery experts from UK retailer Steven Stone have shared an in-depth look at the exquisite piece, unveiling all the details surrounding its design and significance.
“Queen Camilla’s necklace is a stunning three-stranded pearl choker, featuring a geometric clasp adorned with diamonds that encircle a single amethyst at its centre.
The sentimental piece holds great significance, as Queen Camilla wore it to her first public engagement in 2002, at the memorial service for the late Princess Margaret. It also graced her neck on the momentous evening in 2005 when she and King Charles officially announced their engagement.
Amethyst is known for its associations with wellness and health, making it a particularly fitting choice for Queen Camilla, who continues to carry out her royal duties while recovering from pneumonia. The stone’s healing properties add an extra layer of meaning to the necklace, symbolising strength and resilience during this challenging time.
Upon closer inspection, and given its place in Her Majesty’s private jewellery collection, I’d estimate he necklace to be worth around $50,000.”
