As hard as it is to believe, it has been 20 years since Diana, Princess of Wales, was tragically killed in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997. Her untimely death at the age of 36 stunned Britain and the world.
Befitting her royal status, Diana donned a wide range of jewelry, including diamond studded tiaras, diamond and pearl earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches and watches. Some of the jewelry was owned by the Spenser family, some were designed by top designers such as the House of Garrard – the royal family’s jewelers since 1843 – and some were given to her as gifts by heads of state, such as the emir of Qatar and the sultan of Oman, as well as by the British royal family.
