Jewel of the day: Duchess of Windsor Amethyst Necklace Replica

This replica necklace from Etsy seller Jewelry Victorian Art is a pretty faithful reproduction of a famous piece owned by Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor.

Made in India, it’s available with your choice of moissanite or diamonds, and the setting is gilded sterling silver set with amethysts and turquoise. The good news – the price is nowhere near the original Cartier piece, which sold for USD$605,000 in 1987. Using diamonds, it’s CAD$2,249.69. With moissanite, it’s $1,377.94.
