A Royal Jewel for Princess Charlene

StumbleUpon Toolbar | No Comments
Since 1956 Van Cleef and Arpels (mentioned a bit before) have held the distinction of "Official Supplier to the Principality" of Monaco.  For the recent wedding of Prince Albert Princess Charlene, they created a convertible tiara->necklace with the theme "Ocean", in tribute to her past as an olympic swimmer.  It's primarily diamonds, including some pear-cut stones at about 4 ct, and several shades of Sapphire.

They've even put together a brief video explaining some of the design elements
