Top 10 | Most Beautiful Treasures of Princess Diana | Jewelry Collection

[Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] on her wedding day diana's grace and beauty captivated the world the twenty-year-old bride was everybody's dream of a fairy tale [Music] princess and they went on watching her she became the most photographed and easily the most recognizable women in the world [Applause] she had no experience of royal life her future lay in the hand of her husband charles the man destined to become king over a few months after the royal wedding she consolidated her relationship with the public both home and overseas on walkabout with charles she was always a huge hit with the people [Music] diana brought to the image of royalty a unique and personal blend of style dignity and glamour and in today's video we are going to look at diana's most beautiful jewelries and who are the current owners of this magnificent collection so let's begin her royal highness diana the princess of wales engagement ring may now be loved by many people but back when it was chosen it caused quite a bit of controversy even though her sapphire sent a stone with the diamonds surrounding it broke from the more traditional diamond ring that wasn't what people had an issue with instead the problem was that it came from a catalogue most royals have engagement rings that were custom made which makes sure that their engagement rings are a one-of-a-kind and that they are more special [Music] for example prince harry took six months to design then miss meghan markle's engagement ring the center diamond is from botswana where he took her when they were dating for about three to four weeks the ring has two other diamonds one each side and these were from his mother's jewelry collection [Music] so for prince charles the future king to just buy one from a catalogue obviously looked dodgy so anyone that had 28 000 pounds could have the same ring as who was thought to be the future queen of england before diana's tragic car accident in which he passed away in 1997 diana made sure that she pass her jewelry collection down to her sons prince william and prince harry prince harry was actually the one to initially take their mother's engagement ring however once his brother prince william was thinking about proposing to then catherine middleton prince harry let his big brother have their late mother's engagement ring the duke of cambridge explained how he felt about catherine the duchess of cambridge carrying on diana's legacy he said it's my mother's engagement ring and it's very special to me as kate is very special to me now as well it was only right the two were put together it was my way of making sure mother didn't miss out on today and the excitement of the future [Music] ninth on our list is the prince of wales crest it was a gift from prince charles during their wedding the three feathered crest embellished with diamonds set on gold and made as a pendant on a diamond necklace was remarkable diana loved this particular jewel and she wears them more often to show her affection to her husband [Music] when charles gave her a pair of emerald earrings diana adopted the necklace and added emerald drop on the pendant [Music] today the pendant with an emerald drop was given to camilla duchess of cornwall including the pair of emerald earrings previously the mistress and now the second wife of charles eighth on our list is the swan lake necklace in 1997 diana attended a royal gala performance of swan lake wearing a necklace borrowed from the royal jeweler garrett it contains diamonds and south sea pearls diana had hoped to own the necklace with matching set of earrings which had yet to be made nicknamed as the swan lake necklace it had became famous in the auction world and the last time it was sold in an auction it was able to fetch 12 million dollars [Music] the reason this particular piece became famous is because it was the last piece of necklace that diana had worn prior to her fatal car accident in 1997 [Music] another fabulous royal gem of princess diana is the sri lankans sapphire the size of a duck's egg set in a double row of diamonds it was a gift from queen elizabeth the queen mother diana ward on her shoulder to a banquet in hampton court in 1982 later the brooch was changed to be a centerpiece of an elaborate shocker the seven strings of pearls held it in place worn with sapphire earrings this was a spectacular combination diana was not really a brooch person it does not go well with her own clothing style so she turned this brooch into a necklace and had it strung on pearls and it almost became her trademark in a way it was kinda meld on the two families the pearls is a spencer trademark and the blue sapphire coming from the royal family and she brought ugit together and made it her own as diana developed her own style and her own life she already understood how to wear her jewelry to express her individuality and her personal style but she wore it with flair and panache in unexpected ways charles and diana visited the white house in november 1985 the couple were guested if president ronald reagan and his wife nancy diana wore the sapphire choker with the midnight blue velvet gown designed by victory dielstein president reagan recalled the evening in an interview he had invited for that particular dinner at the white house a group of people who themselves were stars in whatever their activity was very prominent well-known people i'd had an opportunity at dinner to here of what she thought about some of particularly the performing stars that were there so the dancing began but yet uh she was the center of attention the rest of the people were pretty much of an audience so i managed to get word to john travolta she had mentioned approvingly during the during dinner to ask her to dance he did and they danced beautifully together and it was said it was a kind of high spot that i do remember in that entire evening [Music] sixth in our list is the art deco emerald and diamond choco [Music] the emerald choker itself was originally gifted to queen mary by the ladies of india in 1911 which was given to diana on a lifetime loan by queen elizabeth ii shortly after her wedding to charles and in 1985 pictures of princess diana and prince charles dancing together in melbourne during their tour of australia made headlines people were happy to see them dancing but more importantly they were further proof of diana's style icon status for the evening the princess wore a green one shoulder gown which she paired with diamond and emerald earrings and what appeared to be a matching headband except it wasn't purely by accident she fitted a choker necklace over her head and loved the effect so much she kept it there it showed that she didn't take them too seriously she obviously enjoyed and loved wearing jewelry and she wore them beautifully but there was a slight reverence which was so much part of her personal style she loved to play around with them and i think that had a huge impact on fashion and on jewelry wearing throughout the 80s fifth on our list are the pearls in 1991 diana made a solo tour of pakistan she had grown a depth of sending outspoken signals of loneliness knowing that earrings draw attention to the face she chose her largest bear the wedding gift from the emir of qatar [Music] she had worn the ornate diamond and pearl drop earrings many times [Music] diane owned another pair of pearl earrings a wedding gift from the spencer family jeweler collingwood she wore this with her lovers not tiara [Music] and with the king faisal diamond necklace loaned by the queen [Music] in 1993 after her separation from charles diana attended an english national ballet performance at her majesty's theater in london but diana's life half in and half out of the royal family was brought with difficulties at this stage she was trying to work out the delicate balance in her new life she underlines her still royal status by wearing multi strands of pearls around her neck in a style reminiscent of queen alexandra herself a former princess of wales what i think that is very interesting was that she echoed the style of princess alexandra who was one of the elegant princesses of wales in british history it was very beautiful and it was very elegant of her to do that and of course very very romantic in the early 90s diana's love for pearl chokers inherited from the spencer family created a new fashion trend she almost started single-handedly what was called the new romantic greys and that pearl choker became a badge a symbol of the new romantic look for her high crust collars the wonderful frills she wore the pearls really played into that extremely extremely well princesses and potentates shower the bride with gifts the most expensive was this wonderful suite of burmese sapphire from the crown prince of saudi arabia the suite included earrings bracelet watch ring and a large pendant diana had the set altered to make a necklace a choker on a velvet band [Music] interchange sets of earrings and a headband she was very fond of the sapphire and diamond suite that she received as a wedding gift from the crown prince of saudi arabia and she really enjoyed wearing that and i think that was very important for her as a young girl she had to suddenly take on this cloak of grandeur and splendor and the jewels certainly helped her to do that and she wore them she wore them beautifully and she also brought something light and fresh and young to fine jewellery which we haven't seen in in england for a very long time in 1996 diana wore this 11-string pearl choker with the saudi earrings dressed by versace she was a confident woman during a visit to the united states for a charity event the saudi jewels were among diana's favorites on this occasion in washington she wore the diamond and sapphire saudi watch cardiff 1981 [Applause] and a nervous young princess of wales wearing her saudi sapphires is about to make her speech to the people of wales to come to wales and to its capital cardiff i look forward to returning many times in the future and also i'd like to just add how proud i am to be princess of such a wonderful place and the welsh people who are very special to me thank [Applause] [Music] you in november of 1986 prince charles and princess diana moved their tour from qatar to a man to visit the sultan in his palace and the people of oman his austere appearance suggested a man of tradition tastes but he was a host who really knew how to please his guest diana received a suite of remarkable jewels at first buckingham palace denied they had received these extravagant gifts lavish presents from the wealthy are not new to members of the royal family who are accustomed of receiving them [Music] diana was delighted with her very valuable gift from the sultan of oman the style suggested the crescent moon symbol of islamic faith but the setting of the necklace bracelet and earrings was strikingly modern a year later during a tour of germany diana unveiled her priceless amani jewels she wore the velvet dress in which she danced at the white house a spencer tiara was held in place by her up swept hair [Music] with their marriage under strain the royal couple were flying the flag for britain second on our list is the spencer tiara formed of different pieces the center element was a wedding gift to cynthia this countess montague who left the pieces to lady sarah in 1875. [Music] four matching pieces from garrett's weir added on in 1937 to create the tiara we see today [Music] princess diana continued to wear the spencer tiara frequently after her wedding as alternative to queen mary's lovers not tiara the tiara was worn for banquets state dinners royal tours and many iconic portraits on low to the princess of wales from her father [Music] the state opening of the parliament is a special event in the royal calendar in 1984 diana wearing her spencer tiara with her hair piled high the queen and prince charles for this very formal occasion she was criticized for upstaging the queen the star of this [Music] show and first on our list is the lover's not tiara based on the grand duchess vladimir's tiara queen mara designed a stunning tiara which the queen gave to diana as a wedding present known as the love as not tiara it was made in 1914 by garretts to queen mary's own design [Music] diana wore it on various state occasions and many foreign tours [Music] in 1989 diana wore the lovers knot in hong kong with her white pearl encrusted elvis presley style dress and jacket by catherine walker at the beginning of course diana wore the lovers not tiara in quite conventional ways for conventional occasions just when you would expect her to wear it and how you would expect her to wear it and then suddenly she appeared in hong kong in that magnificent elvis pearl encrusted outfit with the lovers not tiara and again we saw diana skillet just delivering the unexpected it was to kensington palace that her coffin was taken during her life she had used her home in london from where she attended so many occasions as the people's princess [Music] i think you've got to remember that when diana appeared in public wearing those grand royal jewels it was a it was an amazing vision and it was something that we hadn't seen in england for a very long time we hadn't seen that kind of glamour and particularly we hadn't seen the combination of such youth with such great and splendid jewelry she brought her a youth and a freshness to jewelry wherever she went she brought a radiance into people's lives her image will never be forgotten she was radiant she was quite an exceptional person and you know all the jewels in the world cannot make somebody shine if they do not shine themselves diana was somebody who without the diamonds was also a shining light and to me she brought a lot to the royal family and i think we should think of her legacy as something very sweet and strong [Music] you
