| The Turquoise Demi-Parure |
The style of the necklace was very popular in late Victorian and early Edwardian times so in all probability it (and presumably, the earrings as well) is a late 19th or early 20th century design.

Focus on... Camilla's Jewels: Turquoise Demi-Parure
One of my favourite pieces from Camilla’s personal
jewellery collection is her turquoise demi-parure. consists only of a necklace and matching earrings but they are lovely and I
like the word, so I am going to continue to refer to this set as the Duchess of
Cornwall’s Turquoise Demi-Parure.
The parure consists of a tiara and matching earrings. The necklace is made of turquoises set in diamond frames. From each turquoise, a pear-shaped stone is suspended, also in a diamond settings. Five rows of diamonds nest between each clasp. The earrings consist of an oval turquoise
surrounded by diamonds, suspended from a smaller round turquoise.
