It was worn as a choker to other events. The Prince of Wales also presented his wife with a diamond and emerald Art Deco bracelet as a wedding present and matching emerald earrings as a gift for her 22nd birthday. The choker was later worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales.
The choker, originally given to Queen Mary and then inherited by Queen Elizabeth II, was gifted to Princess Diana after her wedding to Prince Charles. It was eventually returned to Queen Elizabeth upon the princess's death in 1997.
After her death, the piece wasn't seen again until Kate put it on in 2015. Since then, it's become one of her favorite headpieces. Also in Queen Elizabeth's collection, the four-string pearl choker has been worn by both Princess Diana and Kate Middleton for official events.

Before her tragic death, Princess Diana made it clear that she wanted her stunning collection of jewelry to go to her sons' future wives. In a "letter of wishes," she wrote, "I would like you to allocate all my jewellery to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it.
In Spencer, Diana is horrified (though seemingly unsurprised) to discover her husband gave her the same pearl necklace he gave to his then-mistress, Camilla Parker-Bowles. There's no evidence to suggest this gift-giving snafu ever happened (or that she ate them at the dinner table).
The Duchess of Cambridge is a lucky lady for many reasons. One being that she is now the owner of Princess Diana's most famous jewel. Originally created by British jeweller Garrard, Prince Charles chose this grand sapphire ring for his proposal to Diana in February 1981.
"Looking at images of the huge stone, it looks as though it's around 70 carats, maybe even more." Based on the jewellery expert's estimates, Diana's legacy and the size of the stone could mean the necklace is worth a nine-figure sum. Mr Stone added: "With that in mind it could be worth up to £100,000,000 if sold today.
The sapphire and diamond engagement ring
Arguably the most famous piece in Kate's jewelry collection is her sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which previously belonged to Princess Diana.

Did Prince Charles give the same pearls? One cause of discord between Diana and Charles in Larraín's film is the prince's decision to gift a stunning pearl necklace to his wife for Christmas. The problem: He gave an identical present to his longtime mistress Camilla Parker Bowles (Emma Darwall-Smith).
If you watch the footage, Princess Margaret was not the only person who didn't bow her head as the coffin passed. There was nothing significant in that. That the one person in the UK who does not need to bow to anyone DID, WAS significant.
It was worn for the first time to a 1994 dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. The garment has been interpreted as having been worn by Diana "in revenge" for the televised admission of adultery by her husband Charles, then Prince of Wales.
Diana Had 80 Percent Chance of Survival if She Wore Seat Belt—Investigator. Princess Diana would have had an 80 percent chance of surviving the car crash that took her life if she had worn a seat belt, according to a policeman who took part in the official investigation into the tragedy.
She then begins to eat the pearls, crunching them painfully with her teeth and then fleeing the table in agony. This scene is entirely fictional and is meant to symbolize what is happening in Diana's life.
While it may seem unusual that William opted not to have a wedding ring, it is thought he made the decision for practical reasons. A Palace insider told the Mirror at the time: “He's not one for jewellery. He's never worn any. "He decided he didn't want to wear one now.
She famously wore the emerald ring for a birthday appearance at the Tate Gallery in July 1997. She also often wore no rings at all during that final year of her life. What is this? More than two decades later, the aquamarine ring reappeared on Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle.
The ring reportedly was found in the wreckage of the Mercedes and given to Diana's sisters when they came to Paris to accompany her body back to England.
In Short. Meghan Markle attended an event with Prince Harry in Germany. The Duchess of Sussex wore her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's Cartier watch. The timeless piece is approximately priced at Rs 16,66,519.

Diana was wearing a ring given to her by Dodi Fayed when she died. It was a £3,000 Bulgari yellow gold band with diamonds. The diamond band set in yellow gold was not an engagement ring and was worn on the fourth finger of her right hand, where her butler Paul Burrell advised her to wear it.
The tiara was inherited by Diana's father John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer in the mid seventies and, as such, remains in the Spencer family. But while Kate may not inherit the famous diadem, it seems it will one day be given to her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Arguably the most famous piece in Kate's jewellery collection is her sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which previously belonged to Princess Diana.
But only one man has been called the "love of her life"—British Pakistani surgeon Hasnat Khan, whom Diana dated from 1995 to 1997.
