Today marks the 25th Anniversary of the death of Setsuko, Princess Chichibu of Japan, who died on this day in 1995, and to mark the day, we are featuring one of her jewels, which is now worn by Empress Masako.

Featuring a large pearl within a pear-shaped diamond frame, suspended from a three-strand pearl necklace, the jewel originates from Princess Chichibu, who wore it with her Pearl Tiara for a Dinner with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, as well as for a Malaysian State Visit in 1964.
Princess Chichibu also wore the Pearl Tiara and Necklace for a Return Banquet during the Danish State Visit to Japan in 1981.
