See Field (1987), page 109, for a clear photo from the same sitting as Martina's postcard photo. One of the bracelets (Queen Mary's right wrist) has five rows of pearls and a diamond center. There is also a photo of the Queen wearing that bracelet. The other bracelet (her left wrist), which looks wider in the postcard photo and also has a wide clasp, is not identified. On page 107, a photo of Princess Anne shows a pearl bracelet with a wide clasp and four rows of pearls. There must be a few of these pearl bracelets.
The photo on page 109 also answers Martina's original question about the tiara (no added bling) and mine about the stomacher (Nellie is right).
