Yes it does appear to be the Collingwood earrings that Diana wore often with the Cambridge tiara.
Sometimes a photo from the event is released and sometimes not. :xmas15:
Thank you
@TLLK can you identify the necklace :xmas1: some are saying it belongs to the Queen.

Looks of concern from the Cambridges as they had just witnessed one of their motorcycle outriders coming off his bike at speed
^^^That's terrible. I hope that the outrider is all right.
No link so far, only the one from the photographers that were there.
Thank you for sharing the links tonight
@wannable. :snowflake:

@wannable-Here is some more information on Diana's earrings. The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Royal Jewels of the Day: Diana's Collingwood Diamonds (http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2016/02/royal-jewels-of-day-dianas-collingwood.html) these were part of Diana's personal jewelry collection.
Quote"Collingwood, who have been the Spencer family jewellers since Lady Diana was a girl, had wanted to present her with the diamond set as their wedding gift, but Palace officials ruled that such a valuable present would be improper. The necklace and earrings were subsequently offered for sale by an Iranian jeweller in D?sseldorf, Genio Hakimi, who claimed they were Spencer heirlooms that had been sold to pay for the wedding. He had bought them from an unscrupulous dealer who offered the engagement photograph as proof that the jewels were Spencer property."
The current whereabouts of the troublesome diamond suite are unknown. However, Collingwood did manage to give the new Princess of Wales a sparkling wedding gift in the end: these simple diamond and pearl drop earrings, which Diana wore often, and which were a perfect match for that famous tiara on loan from the Queen.
