Totally agree with you Dawn! Thank you for your detailed explanations .
--Previous Message-- : Source: my collection; the 1st and the 7th : & 8th pictures are from elsewhere. : : : Firstly, these pendants from Princess : Diana's two chokers are quite different in : design. The left is a sun-burst design and : the other one is more flat. : : : Secondly, see this from my collection: : : : Thirdly, the pendant from the necklace looks : like the one in the far right corner of the : picture above. The bracelet on Diana's left : arm is the one in the far left portion of : the picture above. : : : Fourth....these earrings are the same as : these two of "three rings" (in the : bottom center) in the Saudi Arabian set : picture above. : : : Fifth.....this pendant on the choker looks : like the third of "three rings" : (in the bottom center) in the Saudi Arabian : set picture above. : : : And Sixth....this bracelet (without the face : pendant) is the bracelet right below the box : in the Saudi Arabian set picture above. : Another picture here shows both bracelets in : the above picture. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Hi Boris, thank you so much for your reply : . : : I certainly can follow your theory. But it : can't be the pendant from the necklace, as : that one is really big. She wears the : necklace pendant here, along with the : earrings : : --Previous Message-- : These are two different chokers indeed, with : a : rather complicated history. : The first one, worn in the mid-80s, does : have the distinct sunburst diamond frame : around its centre sapphire which was removed : from the suite’s ring - but in an oval : shape, as it is the former frame of the face : of the watch which was part of the Saudi : Arabian set. The choker doesn’t go all : around the neck but was worn on a blue : velvet band – this is the one which was : famously worn as headband in Japan. : The second one was seen in the early 90s, : with a round sunburst centre and set in : further rows of blue cabochon stones instead : of a velvet band. This different centre : could actually be the pendant of the : original necklace, or from one of the : earrings. : Also in the mid-90s, the previously : dismantled watch was seen again - worn as a : bracelet, with a centre sapphire in the : place of the face. : So after creating Diana’s first choker, I : believe that its sapphire centre returned to : the watch to create the bracelet, and the : choker was re-set into choker #2, with : either the necklace pendant or one of the : earrings as centre piece. : Pictures to illustrate the changes: : : The original Saudi Arabian sapphire wedding : gift suite : : : The choker #1 : : : The choker #2 : : : : The watch worn as bracelet (along with the : original bracelet from the set on the right : wrist): : : : : --Previous Message-- : Hi all : : I was somehow confused by the information on : Diana's sappire chokers on the Diana's : Jewels site. Both chokers are listed as made : from pieces of the sapphire suite Diana got : as an wedding gift. : : To me it seems only one could have been : made, and is this one pictured. Because the : design around the sapphire is the same as : the design around the sapphire pendant from : the necklace. Or am I wrong? : : : : : : : :
