Thank you, Brock. The rubies in this parure are all pear-shaped, whereas the rubies of the Saudi parure worn in Philadelphia are oval, so both parures are different. This necklace (with the matching earrings and bracelet) is quite a whopper! And the deep red of the rubies seems to indicate that they are rubies of high quality. This parure's style may not be to everyone's taste, nevertheless - and not to mine, in particular... Personally, I would be very happy if Camilla decided to bring all these rubies to Garrard, Cartier, Chaumet or any other skilled jeweller, to reuse them into new jewels of a more classical style... Anyway, as Gert-Jan pointed out, it is still a real delight and a pleasure to see a royal lady wearing new (and impressive) jewels! Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall attends the Royal Film Performance and World Premiere of "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" at Odeon Leicester Square on February 17, 2015 in London, England.
