The Duchess of Cambridge presence at Buckingham Palace reception, has brought the wind of change. In a good way, if you ask me. She fully embraced the more is more mentally. She wore not one stunning piece of jewellery, but four.
No need to mention the name or history of her favourite tiara, nor the the famous Nizam of Hyderabad necklace. However, the mysterious earrings and especially the statement ring, have caused quite a stir. The pieces are part of the Diamond Chandelier Drop Demi-Parure. They have been worn by the Queen, as well as by Sophie Countess of Wessex. As for the unusual dark colour worn by Catherine I wonder if it was done on purpose, as a beautiful gesture towards her Majesty the Queen. Just like Catherine, the Queen prefers bright colours. Except for when wearing this particular necklace. The Queen seems to believe it needs a dark dress. And who could argue when the evidence speaks for itself?
