    I did not say the necklace was not from Tiffany's. It could very well be from Tiffany's.
    What I said was the necklace was not a match to her earrings and bracelet from the Tiffany Signature Series. The Signature series came with or without diamonds. Diana's are without diamonds. The earrings are available on eBay with diamond and without diamonds. On 1stdibs.com, a 3-row bracelet is available without diamonds.

    As for the other mesh necklace, here is Diana wearing the matching bracelet.


    Caption of photo reads:

    The bracelet is from Prince Charles so I will speculate that the necklace is too and was given to her before their wedding.

    : Sure it might not be the same, but it could
    : still be Tiffany.
    :
    : Also the Tiffany page you show has lots of
    : little diamonds in the weave. But in your
    : bottom picture - a closeup of the bracelet
    : with the red dress, there are no obvious
    : diamonds that can be seen.
    :
    : So I don't think that is identical, but
    : similar enough to look like it comes from
    : Tiffany.

    : The necklace has a different 'weave' than
    : the
    : Tiffany bracelet.

    : The Tiffany earrings she wore on several
    : occasions throughout the years. Sometimes
    : she wore the bracelet with it and other
    : times without the bracelet. I think this
    : set belongs to her.

    : Ayvee- a HUGE thankyou for finding this out
    : and sharing it with us.
    : It makes huge sense that Di would wear
    : jewellery associated with her best friend.
    :
    : She also had a similar necklace that looks
    : like it is from the same line. Here it is at
    : the Wimbledon mens final in 1993.
    :
    :
    :
    : I just had a thought - maybe Di didn't own
    : these pieces but borrowed them. And then she
    : wore them at Wimbledon as covert advertising
    : knowing that it is one event that gets very
    : good press and TV coverage ?

    : I thought I'd share some recent discoveries
    : regarding Diana's jewelry.
    :
    :
    :
    : I've only found two occasions of Diana
    : wearing these earrings and only in 1988.
    :
    : Diana's friend, Rosa Monckton was
    : responsible for bringing Tiffany to the UK
    : in September 1986. Rosa was the head of
    : Tiffany UK until she was recruited by Asprey
    : & Garrard (before the two companies
    : split) in 2000. She left Asprey in 2004 and
    : now designs her own jewelry. You can read
    : bout Rosa Monckton on these two links:
