Well today's prying is just establishing the provenance for future jewel enthusiasts. Its only like our knowing the history of the Cambridge emeralds or some of the pieces Queen Mary acquired from the Russian royals. I guess the difference here is that we are talking about living people and current events, rather than history. About Kate's hair, I wonder if she is a bit like Di was at first with her fringe, something to sub-consciously hide behind. But there I go making personal remarks on this board ......... I'll stop now --Previous Message-- : : It's certainly not as nice up close but I : thought the earlier pics looked good. : : At the risk of being howled down, I'd like : to comment further. : : I often feel that we try to get too close to : the personal possessions of current royals, : by prying into where the jewels might be : from rather than simply discussing the : jewels themselves. : : It is all very well to discuss the history : of jewels that have passed through a number : of generations of a family, and which have : appeared often in public, in the course of : public life by a royal. : : However, I have a certain sympathy for a : newly married young couple being private : about private gifts. : : : --Previous Message-- : The official comment ‘Wedding gift from a : family friend’ is indeed as vague as it gets : – in the case of Sarah Ferguson‘s wedding : tiara, the official comment ‘Borrowed from a : family friend’ of course translated in : reality to ‘Newly bought by the Queen as a : wedding gift.’ : : Not a fan of this design – the very nice, : sleek and modern approach on top does not : correspond too well with the rather childish : small flowers suspended from it, IMHO. : Pity about the way how the open hair : clutters the necklace. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : The only information released by St James's : Palace on the matter is that the set was a : wedding-gift to the Duchess from "a : family friend". : : I wonder if it is possible to pinpoint a : jeweller? : It is unlikely the Palace will release any : more information on the subject, as they are : after all privately owned pieces. : : :
