Kate Middleton attended the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2007 wearing a rose quartz and amazonite necklace by Claudia Bradby. She wore the ‘Camellia’ necklace from from the jeweller’s spring/summer 2007 collection.
As demand for the necklace was high after the Royal Wedding in 2011, Bradby reissued the piece. Fast forward 10 years and it’s no longer available, sadly.
How Claudia Bradby described the necklace at the time:
The design that caught the eye of Kate Middleton, Our amazonite and rose quartz on sterling silver hoop necklace is an exquisite piece of jewellery that will accesorise your wardrobe beautifully. Length 81.5cm.
Rose quartz and amazonite are both associated with love and said to balance the emotions and promote calm.
