HIS OWN CHOICE.
Ft was the Duke of York himself who chose the gift, When he visited a Regent-street jeweller's with Lady Elizabeth prior' to their marriage, a varied selection of pearls was inspected This sautoir caught the Prince's eye, and he pointed it out at once to las then fiancee. She was delighted with the necklace, but examined some more jewels before making a decision. "It is one of the most wonderful pieces of jewellery 1 have ever seen," a jeweller who has seen the gift told the Daily Sketch. "Both the pearls and diamonds are of extraordinary fine quality. "It is quite a new type of setting—in fact, I have never seen another like it.' A silk thread is usually employed, but the platinum mounting is, I believe, unique. [The term sautoir is derived from the French word meaning crosswise or slung over the shoulder.]
