I am going to totally agree with you Beth.

: That is a very interesting question, thank you
: Andrew.
:
: I have often wondered if the very large
: sapphire Dianna, Princess of Wales, wore
: initially as a brooch and then later as the
: centre of a pearl choker, was perhaps part
: of Mrs Greveille's jewels.
:
: As far as I know, no one has traced that
: large sapphire to any royal lady prior to
: QEQM and Diana, Princess of Wales.
:
: But, the current thoughts that QEQM
: purchased the sapphire at some stage, may be
: correct, I certainly don't know.

: All this talk about Mrs. Greville's jewels
: has
: made me wonder..... if all this jewelry has
: been used by QEQM and her family and many
: pieces still lie in storage somewhere, why
: wasn't Diana given any upon her marriage?

: It is very difficult to identify Mrs
: Greville's jewels from the press
: descriptions, although in some cases it does
: seem clear which jewels were worn.
:
: For example the reference to her 5 row
: diamond necklace in 1938 does suggest it was
: the necklace later worn by QEQM.
:
: For the Derby Day Ball wearing her newly
: enlarged and remodeled necklace
:
:
:
: June 1906 for a ball. This might refer to
: the tiara with the fan motiffs which was
: dismantled to make the Boucheron tiara which
: became a favourite of QEQM.
:
:
:
: December 1930 - several diamond necklaces. I
: find the date important here as it is after
: Mrs Greville had the first 2 strands of the
: diamond necklace made and which was later
: worn by QEQM.
:
:
:
: Some descriptions refer only to diamonds but
: the one below introduces the probability
: that QEQM inherited some diamond bracelets.
:
: 1932
:
:
:
: One description intrigued me. It is possible
: that it may refer to the mystery tiara worn
: by Princess Anne some years ago - but that
: is pure speculation on my part.
:
: July 1922
