In my : opinion not a very successful necklace. : : Is anything known about the history of this : piece? A Middle Eastern gift possibly? : : --Previous Message-- : Here are larger pictures of the Princess : Royal's sapphire and diamond necklace and : earrings, during the dinner hosted by the : Governor General of Canada at Rideau Hall, : his official residence in Ottawa, on 10th : November 2014. : : We can also notice that Princess Anne is : wearing a bejewelled poppy brooch. : : All pictures are by Denis Drever, for : Canadian Heritage, on whose Flickr webpage I : found these pictures: : : : https://www.flickr.com/photos/canadianheritage-patrimoinecanadien/sets/72157648744077297/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=fr&utm_campaign= : : : : : : : : : :
