Fabergé's Les Danses Fantasques -Raymonda

Fabergé's Raymonda Suite

The House of Fabergé's 2013 collection ‘Les Danses Fantasques’ takes inspiration from four of Russia's great ballets: Luda, La Esmeralda, Raymonda and Giselle.

The Raymonda suite features a choker necklace, cocktail ring and chandelier earrings (not pictured). Featuring impressive egg shaped cabochon amethysts surrounded by diamonds, the suite is fit for any Prima Ballerina.

Hello CC! 

I read about the thing of Meghan retaining Diana’s pieces without permission. Unless Harry gave them to her as in he had them as his share I don’t see her having unwatched access to D’s collection.

She has worn very few items and the only known ones are the aquamarine ring, the cartier watch and the tennis bracelet (this one imo not that much associated with Diana). If Harry had major pieces and, most importantly, gave Meghan the possibility to wear them, she would have already worn them. My assumption is that the private collection of Diana that was divided between the brothers doesn’t have any recognizable jewelry that would immediately scream Diana. I mean the sapphire and emerald chokers, her sapphire pieces and also the pearl lovers knot tiara are synonymous of Diana. There are other pieces like the aquamarine earrings and bracelet or the big pearl choker with ruby details or the amethyst demiparure that are famous and recognizable not by everyone but by the majority. 

I do wonder if any of these last pieces are in Harry’s possession but didn’t want to share them with her. Could this be an interesting idea for a reading? Is Harry voluntarly keeping Meghan from wearing some recognizable pieces of his mother? Maybe he wants his daughter to be the first to wear them after his mom. 

I also suspect that the aquamarine ring was actually in William’s share (private collection), but as a sort of present for the wedding he lent it to Meghan to wear it on the wedding reception night. It could be he allowed her to keep it for the australian tour or she didn’t give it back at all thinking it was Harry’s right to have a Diana iconic ring too after William and Kate had the sapphire one. 

I just wish Catherine was more inclined to wear Diana’s pieces so many mysteries could be solved. I think she pulls out those pieces when ready to do so, so I’m looking forward to see what other piece she will unveil next. My bet is on the Saudi sapphire demiparure (big stud sapphire earrings and matching single sapphire pendant with the matching bracelets). Maybe for a diplomatic reception or a state banquet. I hope Charles will dust one of the sapphire tiaras in the royal collection to give to Catherine. My other dream would be seeing Catherine with the Greville emerald tiara. We know she has emeralds to go with it 😁

Hi Nonny,

You make some good points. A lot of the jewellery that Princess Diana wore was the property of the crown, so of course it went back to the crown when she left the BRF or when she died (I don’t know if she was allowed to keep any pieces from the crown after the divorce; I suspect not but you never know). These pieces include the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, and I suspect that it frustrates Meghan that this tiara is on permanent loan to Princess Catherine, so she never had a chance to wear it during her brief sojourn in the BRF.

I would love to know how the private jewellery of Princess Diana was divided. As you said, Meghan has worn very few of her iconic pieces, with the most noticeable one being that big aquamarine ring. I agree with you that if Meghan had access to the iconic pieces of Princess Diana’s jewellery, she would have worn them by now.

I will add that tarot reading to my list. :)

I see two rumours going around on this topic: one is that Meghan has absconded with pieces of Princess Diana’s jewellery and refuses to return them, the other that Meghan has absconded with Jewellery that belongs to the crown, and refuses to return them (this latter rumour has identified the missing jewellery as the pieces Meghan wore to her reception, apparently per a royal dresser who has now retired). I don’t know if either, both, or none of these rumours are true.

I wish we could know what pieces of Princess Diana’s private jewellery were given to Princess Catherine as well. We will find out one day, I am sure.

great grandmother's demiparure. they don't make them like this anymore. she wore them on her wedding, her daughter wore them on her wedding, her granddaughter wore them on her wedding, and her great granddaughter wore them on her wedding (👰‍♀️😇) and they still shine like they were bought yesterday. i keep them in their original box next to my wedding dress :) All I can hope is for my daughter to love them as much as we did, and for her to want to continue this little tradition we have .... when she is old enough of course! shes only 15 now. I always tell her. Don't even think about marriage before u hit 40.

The brooch measures about 2 5/8" by 2 3/8", and the clip on earrings measure 1 7/8" by 1 3/4". The lucite centers have a very cool look to them, as they appear to have gold tips or reflect the gold base of the jewelry.
