A wedding gift once given to Princess Diana received a stunning makeover by Camilla Parker Bowles. The item, which held deep royal significance, was completely transformed by King Charles' current wife.
When Diana married Charles in 1981, she was showered with presents from well-wishers around the globe. While some were practical, others carried sentimental value for the soon-to-be Princess of Wales. One gift in particular came from a high-ranking royal.
Crisscut Magazine shared information from the experts at Steven Stone regarding the stunning wedding gift Princess Diana received from Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. It consisted of a necklace featuring four carats of diamonds and emeralds, paired with a striking three-carat cabochon-cut green emerald pendant.
The royal heirloom was originally owned by Queen Alexandra in 1863. Diana wore the item at a gala at the Vienna Burgh Theatre during a visit to Austria in 1986 and subsequently, to other royal events.

Diana, just 16, first met 29-year-old Charles through her sister, Sarah Spencer McCorquodale, in 1977. However, it wasn’t until 1980 that the world’s most eligible royal bachelor began dating the youngest Spencer sister.
After Diana was invited to stay at the home of a mutual friend, Philip de Pass, in July 1980, she got to know Charles better. He appreciated her sensitivity and reportedly felt comforted by her presence.
The royal popped the question to his new girlfriend seven months later, in February 1981. "We met 13 times and we got married," the Princess of Wales revealed in tapes revealed in the documentary Diana: In Her Own Words, according to ABC News.
Diana and Charles divorced in 1996. She died one year later. They are parents to two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
