The Duchess of Edinburgh has a big jewelry collection, of course! But one of the most important and treasured pieces in her collection is no doubt her pearl cross necklace, which was a gift to her from her dear husband, Prince Edward for her wedding day.
Pearls are apparently not this year’s (2026) trend, but they are always timeless and classic and can come in a variety of colors like white, black, grey, green, pink, blue, and gold. They are treasures from the sea. Just in time for the hot summer months when we all want to get away to the beach. Pearls have been worn and treasured for centuries by many famous women, like Queens Elizabeth 1 and 2, and America’s First Ladies such as Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
The duchess also wore a navy dress and hat and looked very good for her outing at Royal Ascot.
