magnify Emerald and diamond choker

Garrards

Originally made with sixteen of the Cambridge emeralds as part of the Delhi Durbar parure, matching the necklace and bracelet, it was remodelled for Queen Mary in the 1920s using the same emeralds and brilliant-cut diamonds, but set in platinum in the Art Deco style. Inherited by The Queen in 1953, it was later worn by The Princess of Wales.
