A stunning bracelet from suitor Dodi?

ELEGANT in a white lace dress and matching satin clutch, Diana showed off a new sapphire bracelet at a gala dinner in Washington in September 1996.

The bracelet, featuring eight ovalshaped sapphires surrounded by twinkling diamonds, may have been a gift from Dodi Al Fayed, to whom the now-divorced Princess was becoming increasingly close. However, their relationship did not become official until the following July.

Never one to underdo it, on her other wrist, Diana wore the sapphire bracelet she received as a wedding gift from the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, as well as the sunray diamond and sapphire earrings from the same set, which were set off beautifully by her white, exquisitely beaded dress.
