Jewels of Diana, Princess of Wales

Her jewellery was a mix of precious stones and costume pieces, which she sourced from London's Butler & Wilson,[1] often reported by the media as "priceless" jewels, which the Princess found amusing.

[15] The tiara includes diamonds in silver settings mounted in gold in various floral shapes: stylized tulips, star-shaped flowers, and scrolling foliage.

The tiara, in its French neo-classical design, has 19 oriental pearls suspended from lover's knot bows each centred with a large, brilliant diamond.

[26][27] Made from a present of emeralds and diamonds from the Ladies of India in 1911,[15] this Art Deco choker was created by Garrards in 1921 for Queen Mary and was originally a part of the Delhi Durbar Parure.

The three pearl drop pendants were given as a wedding present from the City of London to Elizabeth Stuart in 1613, which were later inherited by her son, the famous Cavalier Prince Rupert and later sold by his daughter, Ruperta Howe.

[32] In the early years of her marriage, Diana wore the piece as a brooch, including the famous appearance during the Dutch state visit to the Netherlands in 1982, when the Princess had to find a new gown and jewels after Queen Beatrix gave her the Order of the Crown which is worn on an orange sash.

Another famous appearance of the sapphire choker was in 1994, when the Princess wore the piece (with the daring 'revenge' dress) on the night the Prince of Wales confessed to adultery with Camilla Parker Bowles.

[43] Created by Garrard & Co and made out of 187 diamonds and five South Sea pearls, the necklace was worn by Diana during an appearance at a performance of Swan Lake by the English National Ballet at the Royal Albert Hall two months before her death in 1997.

[44][45] Made out of "900 pearls paired with columns of diamonds and rubies", this eleven-strand choker was one of Diana's favourite pieces, which she often wore at theatre and film premiers.

This cross and chain was donated by the Princess for a charity auction which was to take place early in September 1997, but it was put into storage for 20 years and then sold to a young Australian collector.

[51] A gift from King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to Queen Elizabeth II, it is a fringe necklace in design and set with brilliant and baguette cut diamonds.

King Faisal bought the necklace, made by the American jeweller Harry Winston, and presented it to her while on a state visit to the United Kingdom in 1967.

[61] Others considered the ring a tragic symbol associated with Diana's failed marriage to the Prince of Wales and untimely death in a car accident in Paris.

The diamond band set in yellow gold was not an engagement ring and was worn on the fourth finger of her right hand, where her butler Paul Burrell advised her to wear it.

[74] After her death, the ring was passed to her younger son Prince Harry who gave it to his wife Meghan to wear at the couple's wedding reception in 2018.

She also wore this ring on 11 November 1993 while attending a state banquet hosted by The Yang Di-pertuan Agong of Malaysia at The Dorchester Hotel in London.

She wore the ring on June 21, 1989, when the Prince and Princess of Wales attended a dinner given by the Corporation of London at Mansion House in honor of visiting Australian Prime Minister Robert Hawke.

[citation needed] While attending a polo match to support Prince Charles in 1989, the Queen loaned the Princess a square-cut emerald ring which was incorrectly dubbed by the press as "a gift from a doting husband".

At the age of 15, Lady Diana Spencer was first seen wearing a pair of simple pearl earrings;[7][page needed] she wore them as a bridesmaid at her sister's wedding.

The modern-style earrings dated from the Twenties, and were made to match the Delhi Durbar Parure, a suite of Cambridge emeralds originally owned by Queen Mary.

The Princess wore the faux pearl heart drop while tour of Bosworth Battlefield Visitor Centre near Sutton Cheney on Thursday, 27 June 1985.

[6][page needed] The earrings were worn regularly during 1993 notably while the Princess attended a dance spectacular in London and while going to Mozart's 'The Magic Flute'.

[2][page needed] Featuring "a circular design of diamonds and a single diamond-encrusted pear", these dangling earrings were worn by Diana at numerous occasions in the 1990s.

[82] The brooch was passed to Diana after the death of her friend, art dealer and a former member of the board of directors of the Royal Ballet Adrian Ward-Jackson, in 1991.

The bracelet which consisted of diamonds with a baguette and brilliant cut was worn regularly by the Queen before being loaned to the Princess in 1983 for her state visit to Australia.

[99] Diana possessed an 18-carat yellow gold framed Tank Louis Cartier watch with a black alligator strap which was a gift from her late father, John Spencer, who died in 1992.

[102] A five-strand pearl bracelet set in 24 carat gold[69] with a large aquamarine stone and a diamond flower clasp was given to the Princess during her early days into the royal family and she constantly wore it in the 80s[103] and after her divorce.

[2][page needed] While attending a Supertramp concert in the early 1990s, the Princess wore a bracelet with black and white stones with silver diamante stars which was believed to have purchased from the famous costume jewellery store Butler & Wilson.

[111] The piece is made out of "18k gold and platinum set with 137 round diamonds", and its "interlocking Cs derive from the cipher of Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt".

[77][page needed] The Princess wore the choker as a headband on her official visit to Japan in 1986, at a State banquet hosted by Emperor Hirohito.
