Thanks again Boffer for your excellent knowledge of the site. I expect we will see most jewels we know so well and there could be only small snippets of new information. I really hope there is some new info. I am looking forward to seeing the new photo my favourite choker. --Previous Message-- : This is information that has already been : released by the Royal Collection, back in : 2007 on the web-exhibiton to coincide with : the 1947 Wedding Exhibition: : : "The stomacher is formed as three : linked brooches which can be worn : separately.
