Thanks for posting. Wow! The earrings really look like they are part of the Saudi wedding sapphire set gifted to Diana, Princess of Wales. Diana was seen wearing them on at least two occasions. I’m just really surprised that Camilla would wear jewels associated with Diana.

It might be due to the fact that they are clips?

Queen Camilla has also worn the diamond and emerald brooch/pendant worn by Diana, Princess of Wales

I agree Maureen. Its a bit mindblowing to me that these might be Pss Diana's earrings, as the saudi sapphires earrings were one of her most iconic jewels.

The sapphire set was a personal gift to Pss Diana, these were not jewels already in the collection and just worn by her. After her death her jewels were divided between her two sons. We know, for instance, that Pc Harry inherited the famous sapphire engagement ring but gave it to his brother as he was getting married first.

Its logical to assume that the jewels that used to belong to Pss Diana, and were inherited by Pc William, are now at the full disposal of the Princess of Wales. If these are indeed the earrings we believe they are, could the Princess of Wales have lent them to the Queen, as they are clip earrings? The two ladies seem to have a very good relationship.

This is pure speculation on my side. But could it be that even though they were wedding presents - they (and e.g. the Oman jewels) were considered gifts to "the Crown" rather than gifts to Diana in person... and when she died the jewels then went to "the Crown" rather than to Diana's estate and Prince William and Prince Harry?

This could be an explanation to why we have not seen these jewels worn by the now Princess of Wales or the one living in California. If the Saudi jewels or Oman jewels were inherited by Prince William or Prince Harry... I am pretty sure at least the one living in California would have worn some of these by now... and am also sure the now Princess of Wales would have worn some if she had them laying in a safe at home...

I agree that they look very similar, but without more information or better photos I think it is a bit premature to conclude that they are indeed the same.

The blog "The Court Jeweller" has suggested that they might in fact be another pair of Sapphire earrings gifted to the Queen:

Sapphires are very popular. There are more than one set of sapphire earrings in the world. I myself once wore a set of sapphire jewels that looked very much like some worn by Diana, but they weren't hers.

And we also established that there's more than one emerald and diamond Prince of Wales pendants out there, too.

Highly unlikely that Camilla is wearing earrings once belonging or worn by Diana. There must be hundreds if not thousands of similar diamond and sapphire cluster earrings on this planet. The engagement ring wasn't very original either...
