Thank you, windsorfan, for the very clear picture of this necklace. And thanks to you Nellie, for further clarity and the historical record. Does anyone have a picture or this necklace from before 2003? (This would not have been a gift from the US, since it doesn't make such elaborate gifts.)
Edit: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia did not pay a state visit to Britain until 2007. Putin visited earlier in 2003. The President of South Africa and King Abdullah of Jordan visited in 2001. The Queen visited Brunei and Malaysia in 1998. There were other state visits, of course, but not from countries that seem likely to make a gift of diamond jewelry.
