Dear Arthur, I am also totaly convinced that Camilla's diamond necklace was not made with stones dismounted from this tiara. The diamond from the necklace and from the earrings are modern settings. On the contrary the diamond from the tiara are "old cuts" which would have need reworking. I do think that the demi-parure was given as a wedding gift to the Doc from a the Gulf or the sultan of Brunei... Best regards, Franck --Previous Message-- : I remain perplexed about Camilla's diamond : necklace being made with stones dismounted : from this tiara. : : Reason for my suspicion is that the diamonds : in Camilla's necklace are all marquise-cut : or pear-shaped (as we can clearly see on : Maridje's picture) - whereas on the tiara : picture, there seems to be only round : brilliant-cut diamonds (and possibly a few : pear-shaped diamonds). So I do not think it : can be a match. : : :
