faux
Why Kate ? Why ?
this was the night to pull out all the stops
those beautiful pearls from Philip's funeral need a happy outing and this would have been perfect
give ALL the fake stuff (that didnt belong to Diana) to Charlotte to play with and while im at it start boxing up all the dept store stuff (Kikis etc) for Charlotte's 10th birthday
yipI just knew you would not be happy with her choices of costume jewellery!

i wouldnt mind so much if she wore more of the good stuff from the vault
or developed a collection of vintage brooches (faux ok)
i used to like discovering how Diana mixed and matched faux with the priceless stuff but she also gave us pearls, and saphire pieces big enough to see from a distance on a regular basis, she might have only had two tiaras but still gave us variety from her jewlery box
a modern example would be CP Victoria, she has a lot of fun with faux but she also turns to plenty of the real stuff regularly
I think she stayed with faux because of the neckline of the gown. Real jewels would have clashed, instead she accentuated it by choosing coordinating faux pieces which looked wonderful, IMO.
I believe the DOW doesn't wear a lot of bling to be more approachable so people see her as more like them all the while being royal and gracious. She's a modern royal and wears the bling when it's appropriate.

can 'brooch' clips go on bags? - attached to the flap
