The historic piece of jewelery was originally gifted by a former Duchess of Kent to Queen Victoria before being passed on to Queen Mary.

Meanwhile, Melania wore blush pink to the event, wearing a strapless Christian Dior Haute Couture gown with off-white Dior suede gloves. Trump was also dressed in a suit.

The two couples posed outside the White House before heading indoors, where they joined high-profile guests.

The state dinner marks the end of the official engagements in Washington, which were designed to maintain the historic ties between Britain and the US through symbolism, history and carefully staged royal presentation.

The menu for the dinner included a three-course meal, which was also prepared to honor the heritage and enduring friendship between the two nations. The evening’s entertainment will feature performances by US military musicians from the Marines, Army and Air Force.
