Description: Great condition. Some wear on the cover and binding. The auction took place on Dec 16, 1999. In 1997, Princess Diana was working closely with the British Crown Jeweler who was creating for her a magnificent diamond and South Sea pearl necklace with matching earrings. The necklace was presented to her to be worn at the opening of the British National Ballet’s gala performance of Swan Lake. The performance took place on June 3 of that year at London’s Royal Albert Hall. After having been extensively photographed in the necklace (photos from that evening twice were the full front cover of People Magazine including that publication’s 1998 hardcover annual issue), the Crown Jeweler asked for the necklace back. Inasmuch as the earrings had not, as yet, been completed, the Jeweler wanted the necklace in hand to make certain that the stones matched. The earrings were, indeed, completed and the full suite about to be returned to the princess when she was tragically killed. Following her death - and with the acknowledgement of her grieving family - the jewels were sold. The family that had acquired the jewels a dozen years ago, have chosen to offer them for sale. It is the general belief that these may well be the only substantial jewels worn by Diana that will ever be sold.
