Queen Elizabeth and Princess Kate aren’t the only British Royals who had a penchant for these jewels, however. In 1982, the Queen loaned both the choker and earrings to Princess Diana for a State Visit at Buckingham Palace. Kate also paid homage to Diana on Tuesday by wearing her sapphire ring which was a gift from William upon their engagement.

Perhaps no one best displays the power of a compelling sartorial symbol than Princess Kate. In the months since she announced the end of her chemotherapy treatment for her cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales’s public appearances have been few and far between.
