"It’s heart-warming to see that Queen Camilla wore Queen Elizabeth II’s King George VI Victoria Suite for the state dinner at the Palace of Versailles as a sweet nod to Queen Elizabeth II. Gifted to the late monarch by her father on her wedding day in 1947, the suite was undoubtedly among her most meaningful jewels," Maxwell Stone, Steven Stone's resident jewelry expert, said via email.

The huge sapphires are surrounded by a halo of diamonds, and linked together by additional single-stone diamonds, which are between 0.8 and 1.5 carats. The sapphire earrings look to be 15 carats," Stone continued.
