One of the grandest pieces of royal jewelry worn so far by the Duchess of Cambridge is the Nizam of Hyderabad Necklace. The Queen loaned the necklace, which was one of her wedding gifts in 1947, to Kate for a reception at the National Portrait Gallery in 2014. Today, I’ve got some interesting close-up views of the necklace, which was made by Cartier. The intricate design of this piece can sometimes get lost, but these closer shots show just how complicated and interesting the necklace’s setting really is. Enjoy!
