This demi-parure is supposed to be one of the lavish gifts the Duchess of Cornwall received in 2005 (edit after Barbara D's post: in March 2006) during a tour of the Middle-East she made with the Prince of Wales. I think I remember (though I do not find my sources for that) that Buckingham's (or the Prince of Wales') press office had disclosed the list of official gifts received in 2005 (edit: 2006) by the members of the Royal Family. Among them were three parures (one of rubies, one of sapphires, one of emeralds) received by the Duchess of Cornwall in Saudi Arabia. The list gave no further description, but we suppose the emerald parure could be this one. But, so far, we have never got an official or authoritative confirmation of that.
The parure also includes a bracelet :
