    Yes, as you said, I do have the 1992 version of Leslie Field's book. However, one of you mentioned pages 107 and 109 in your other version.

    On page 107 in my own book, there is just one single picture showing Queen Mary's Indian Bangle Bracelets. On page 109, the three pictures with this title "The Queen's Engagement Ring and The Prince Philip Wedding Bracelet" are shown.

    No Queen Mary picture on either page at all.

    : Dawn - you actually have a different book
    : entitled The Jewels of Queen Elizbeth II:
    : Her Personal Collection , 1992, which is a
    : softback with chapters organised according
    : to pieces of jewellery - tiaras, earrings,
    : necklaces, etc.
    :
    : The 1987 and 1997 editions are hardbacks of
    : The Queen's Jewels: The Personal Collection
    : of Elizabeth II with chapters organised
    : according to types of gems - amethysts,
    : aquamarines, coral, etc.
    :
    : Dawn - your page number does have the pic
    : matching the hardback page number.
    :
    : I think there is another hardback edition.

    : I have the same book by the same author but
    : it
    : is published in 1992, so your description on
    : page 109 would not be in my book. However, I
    : would assume you may mean the bracelets
    : shown on Queen Mary in a photo on page 112
    : (under the title of "Queen Mary's
    : Bracelet") or on pages 86 and 81 with
    : pictures of Queen Mary wearing her
    : bracelets. In fact, there are some other
    : such pictures on some other pages, too!
    :
    : Thanks for your answer, Jinja.

    : 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).
