    Sounds reasonable

    : 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:
    : Lady Diana at Smith's Lawn for Polo Match
    : Lady Diana watches Prince Charles play polo
    : during their engagement. She wears his watch
    : on her arm in addition to a watch and a
    : bracelet she received from Prince Charles as
    : birthday gifts.

    : 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:
