    Dear LittleMo,

    Please note that Veronika posted a photo of the diamond watch in July 2013 (July 7 or 8). You can be find the post below.

    Therefore, you will be able to compare the watch and the choker and you will see that we can have a match bewteen the two jewels.

    : Actually, I think the central diamond and
    : sapphire piece of that choker (in the Getty
    : Image photo posted by LittleMo) comes from
    : either one of the pair of earrings or from
    : the ring (shown as part of the box jewels in
    : the Getty Images photo) because of its
    : sunray design.
    :
    : I agree with LittleMo's thought that several
    : sapphires (surrounded by diamonds) in the
    : watch could have been worn by Princess Diana
    : as earrings. There are also some sapphires
    : on the top of the jewel box itself.
    :
    : In the Getty Image picture of Diana wearing
    : the choker in LittleMo's post, the choker is
    : made up of a diamond band, a
    : sapphire/diamond center and some series of
    : blue stone beads.
    :
    : In Frank's post, a picture of Diana with
    : another choker includes a velcro on which a
    : diamond band with the flat-looking
    : sapphire/diamond center is laid. Both
    : chokers looked different in design and
    : appearance except maybe the diamond band in
    : each picture.

    : Yes, I have long thought that was the watch
    : too. In fact I may have seen picture
    : comparisons to prove it.
    : Here it is from Getty
    :
    :
    : Its not the bracelet, seen below, as in that
    : the diamond band is two stones wide and
    : separates as it gets close to the sapphire.

    : But then looking at the display of wedding
    : gifts there must have been a lot of
    : remodelling of stones, as the watch strap
    : had a lot of sapphires in it (that I think
    : she used as earrings)
    :
    :
    : But I don't know where the post is that you
    : are talking about ?

    : Dear all,
    :
    : I am pretty sure that the chain of small
    : diamonds, (three deep), which runs halfway
    : round the choker is the diamond evening
    : watch from Sheikha Fatima Bint
    : Mubarak-al-Nayiyan of the United Arab
    : Emirates (wedding gift to Princess Diana).
    :
    : It has exacly the same design (Three deep
    : chain of small diamond).
    :
    : (See a post concering the watch wedding gift
    : to Princess Diana)
