The Nizam was the owner of one of the most celebrated and largest private jewellery collections in the world, and his gift was suitably impressive - a demi-parure of a tiara and necklace. The necklace was purchased from Cartier. Actually in a way it was acquired by Elizabeth herself. The Nizam wasn't in London at the time and left Cartier instructions that the princess will personally choose her present."
