* The Northumberland & Newcastle Volunteer Cavalry was formed in 1819 and was nicknamed 'the Noodles'.

In 1876 the Regiment changed its name to the Northumberland (Hussars) Yeomanry Cavalry and in 1908 the Regiment was incorporated into the Territorial Army.

The Hussars' involvement with horses came to an end in 1939, when the Regiment was reorganised as an Anti-Tank Regiment.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.
