Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has reportedly been denied a request to have an emerald cut out of the Deli Durba necklace for her.
Rumors have been circulating on Tumblr about Meghan’s fascination with emeralds, which started when her PR team announced her emerald engagement ring in 2017.
Many speculated that she was trying to establish emerald as her signature color, similar to Princess Diana’s association with sapphires.
However, despite this initial interest, Meghan has not been seen wearing significant emerald jewelry since then, opting instead for more modern pieces.
According to industry gossip, Meghan had expressed a desire to recut an emerald from the Deli Durba necklace into an emerald cut stone, flanked by two emerald cut diamonds, set on a rose gold band adorned with paved diamonds.
However, her request was met with a firm refusal.
It is said that Meghan and Prince Harry had been inquiring with various jewelry firms about stone recutting and custom-made rings using their own stones.
Meghan’s fixation on having a large, heavy emerald as the centerpiece of her jewelry collection has led to speculation about her May wedding and the birth of her son Archie, both occurring in May, being attempts to acquire emerald jewels.
While some sources claim that Meghan also expressed interest in customizing the Lover’s Knot Tiara with the Vladimir emeralds, other tiaras like Queen Victoria’s emerald tiara coronet and the tiara worn by Princess Eugenie were also mentioned in her inquiries.
However, it is considered highly inappropriate to remove stones from historic pieces in the crown jewels for personal use.
Unlike Princess Diana’s sapphire ring, which was made and purchased at Garrard’s, Meghan could have simply asked Prince Harry to have an emerald ring made for her from the same jeweler.
This has led to accusations that Meghan believes she is exempt from following royal rules and protocols.
It is evident that Meghan’s desire to possess something associated with Princess Diana stems from her obsession with using Diana’s popularity to boost her own image.
However, it is ironic that Meghan, who has often displayed jealousy and envy throughout her life, has chosen green clothing and jewelry as a means of showcasing her envy to the world.
This choice may be seen as an attempt to emulate Diana’s beloved status, but it also reveals Meghan’s own insecurities and feelings of inadequacy.
Critics question how Meghan, who claims to have known little about the royal family prior to her marriage, could be so well-versed in tiaras and their various uses.
It appears that Meghan demanded anything and everything she liked be dismantled and reconstructed to meet her personal standards.
Some even joke that we should consider ourselves lucky she didn’t request multiple tiaras to be combined into one mega tiara.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s request to alter the Deli Durba necklace and her overall fascination with emeralds have raised eyebrows within the royal community.
While she may have hoped to establish herself as a fashion icon like Princess Diana, her actions have only fueled speculation about her motives and her disregard for royal traditions.
It remains to be seen how Meghan will continue to navigate the world of royal jewelry and whether her obsession with emeralds will persist.
