Once again, the fashion world is abuzz with talk of celebrity Kim Kardashian, who chose to wear a legendary necklace for a momentous occasion. The cross necklace, highlighted by a purple amethyst cut into a rectangular shape and surrounded by 5.25 carats of diamonds, was complemented by a choker and a pearl necklace, completing her refined look.

This particular cross necklace was once worn by Princess Diana at the 1987 Birthright charity event in London, which aimed to support humanitarian rights for pregnant women and childbirth. Diana paired the necklace with a purple gown designed by Catherine Walker, creating one of her most iconic looks to date.
