Boffer - I did understand the two makers and dates for the other jewels, but have to hope your remarks about grammar and sentence structure are the solution here.
It is a really unfortunate flaw in the information in the new website. Not encouraging !
I have found other cases that I thought were sloppy.

It is just poor grammar and : sentence structure on the part of the Royal : Collection that leads to that confusion. :
