When I saw it in pictures worn by the Duchess I never liked it very much. Looked too heavy and dark, didn't like the colour combination. But some years ago I saw the big amethysts and turquoise necklace live at a Cartier exhibition, and I was just mesmorized, its absolutely stunning. But indeed it takes a woman with a strong caracter to wear that piece to perfection. --Previous Message-- : The Duchess of Windsor had several amethyst : and turquoise jewels created by Cartier. : : Sotheby's - Amethyst, Turquoise, & : Diamond Bracelet, Cartier, 1954 : "The Duchess had a love for the colour : combination of amethyst and turquoise. In : the 1987 sale there were five lots which : used these stones, dating from 1947 to 1950, : all created by Cartier. Possibly the most : recognizable of all these lots was a bib : necklace by Cartier which she was pictured : wearing at the Gala ball in Versailles, in : June 1953." : : : : :
