Diamond experts value Camilla’s signature pearl necklace that represents femininity

Camilla loves horses and adores horse-racing – a passion that she shared with the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was often seen attending events at Ascot.

The Queen Consort stepped out at the races in a navy and white dress, with a navy coat – accesorising with one of her signature pearl necklaces.

Fine jewellery experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have taken a close look at the necklace, revealing everything you need to know.

The centre piece is a round cluster of round Edwardian cut diamonds – Edwardian jewellery represents femininity, which is incredibly fitting for Camilla as she’s a powerful and prominent social figure
Combined weight of 3 carats
Features four strands of cultured pearls – cultured pearls are genuine pearls, produced by an oyster or mollusk, but with human assistance.
Our experts estimate the piece to be worth £50,000
Maxwell Stone commented: “It’s heartwarming to see Camilla, the Queen Consort stepping into Queen Elizabeth II’s shoes at Ascot Racecourse – particularly because the two royals shared a love of horses and passion for horse-racing.

Camilla stunned in her navy and white dress, though we couldn’t take our eyes off her pearl necklace – a piece that the Queen Consort must be especially fond of as she’s frequently seen wearing it to daytime events.

The necklace features four strands of cultured pearls. Though cultured pearls are genuine pearls, they’re much less rarer than natural pearls, which will reflect in the overall value. The pearls are linked by a round cluster of round Edwardian cut diamonds, with a combined weight of 3 carats. Edwardian jewellery represents femininity, making this a fitting piece for Camilla, who is a powerful and prominent social figure.

I’d estimate the piece to be worth approximately £50,000.”
