This necklace is based on the design from the Cambridge Lovers Knot Tiara. Queen Mary had a tiara made which became known as the Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara , but is perhaps best known as one of the tiaras worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, during her marriage. Mary had this beautiful tiara made in 1914 as a copy of the tiara given to her grandmother, Princess Augusta of Hesse, just before her marriage to the first Duke of Cambridge in 1818. In its original condition, it had pearl "spikes" at the top level, which Mary had removed around 1935. It was given to Princess Elizabeth as a wedding gift when she married Prince Phillip in 1947, and she in turn gave it to Princess Diana as a wedding present on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981.
This necklace is gold-toned, features a central pearl and is embellished with bohemian crystals.
Measurements
The central bow measures 1.2cm(0.5in) in width by 3cm(1.2in) in height. The necklace is 44cm(17in) long with a 6cm(2.4in) extension.
Jewellery Care
We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
