The diamond, which has 200 carats of diamonds in its honeycomb design, is said to be worth $17 million.
Camilla’s jewelry options also include Queen Victoria’s stunning coronation necklace, one of the most expensive necklaces in the world, and earrings. The star of the necklace is the 161 carat split Lahore Diamond.
However, because it comes from the same collection as the Koh-i-Noor diamond – meaning it was in the possession of the royal family as a result of colonization – Lahore can be considered very controversial.
Queen Elizabeth named him after her father, King VI. She wore it along with the less controversial Queen Elizabeth diamond dart necklace, which was a gift to George’s mother, again, to Queen Elizabeth (who would later become the Queen Anne) on the occasion of their coronation in 1937.

Catherine has already worn some of the most prized earrings and necklaces in the Royal Collection, and some will likely be on display during her coronation weekend.
Includes the Order of Hyderabad necklace with over 200 diamonds in a rose design, a wedding gift for Elizabeth II. One of the most expensive pieces of the collection, valued at $76.3 million, it also comes with a matching set of earrings and tiara.
Other options include Queen Elizabeth II. The Dubai sapphire earrings, which reportedly made Elizabeth “scream with excitement” when she first saw them, as well as the World War II jewelry. One of Elizabeth’s wedding gifts is Bahrain Pearl earrings.
There are also many other royal women who are likely to get a chance to peruse the royal family’s collection.
Crown Princess Anne has lots of jewelery of her own but can choose to wear something new to see her sister get crowned.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, borrows items frequently and permanently borrows the Five Aquamarine Crowns.
Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, are also likely to borrow from the Royal Collection.

The Royal Family Orders are a special miniature painting of the monarch surrounded by diamonds and are given to the most trusted royal women to wear as a brooch on their left shoulder.
Queen Camilla, Princess Catherine, Princess Anne, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Kent are among the few women expected to be a part of this very special club.
