The Duchess of Edinburgh celebrates her 60th Birthday next week! The PR Agent who became the late Queen’s favourite daughter-in-law and one of the most hard working members of the Royal Family, the Duchess has worn quite a few royal heirlooms, and also this Graff Sapphire and Diamond Suite!

The Sapphire and Diamond Suite is composed of a striking Necklace, a pair of Earrings and a Bracelet from the Jeweller Graff’s 2014 Nuage High jewellery Collection.
This spectacular new collection of Graff jewellery – meaning cloud in French – features swirls of diamonds shaped like ethereal clouds. Floating delicately on these white diamond clouds are flowers animated by pristine diamonds, vivid sapphires and rich rubies.
One of the highlights of the collection is the sapphire and diamond Graff necklace with a free-form design that captures the buoyancy and lightness of clouds in pavé diamonds scattered with bursting sapphire blooms.
The then Countess of Wessex debuted the Graff Sapphire and Diamond Earrings on a visit to Gibralter, during the Queen Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.
The Sapphire and Diamond Earrings were next worn by the Countess of Wessex for the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2022.
The following year, the Earrings were worn with a coordinating Bracelet by the newly-created Duchess of Edinburgh for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
More recently, the Duchess of Edinburgh wore the Earrings and Bracelet with the Necklace and her Aquamarine Tiara for the State Banquet in honour of Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of Qatar, and Sheikha Jawaher Bint Hamad Bin Suhaim Al Thani at Buckingham Palace last month. There is no doubt we will continue to see this Modern Suite for years to come!
