Cullinan necklace
Field says, on page 77, " Queen Mary's platinum and diamond pendant and chain has some of the ninety-six smaller Cullinan cleavings in it, and was inherited by the Queen in 1953. "
--Previous Message-- : Thanks, Nellie. I was almost right in : assuming that all the Cullinans were gifts. : Originally, the uncut stone was a gift. But : the smaller cut stones had to be repurchased : and then given to Queen Mary. I wonder how : many of the 'chippings' are in other pieces : of Queen Mary's jewels. :
