Dear Boffer, Thank you so much again for your big summary. I have bought the book and I will receive it in a few days. I wanted to give my impression with some photos but unfortunately my photobucket doesn’t work today. (I have a message your private policy update, agree and continue and it doesn’t work) (I don’t know if you saved the panel of Nellie a few years ago concerning Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother’s diamond collets necklaces : it was an excellent summary) 1° Concerning the diamond collets necklaces owned by Queen Elizabeth II I think she owns : -The coronation necklace -Queen Alexandra’s diamond collets necklace -The Duchess of Teck’s necklace (1) (Might be worn with the Greville tiara before 1953 : a photo on the panel) -The Queen Elizabeth’s coronation diamond necklace (2) -A second collets necklace bequeathed to her by Queen Mary (It might be the other one worn by Queen Elizabeth II with the Vladmir Tiara in New Zealand and in Oman last year) -The diamond collets necklace given to Queen Elizabeth as Duchess of York with he scroll tiara (3) -An other diamond necklace worn by Queen Elizabeth II before she has queen (Unfortunately I can’t send you a photo) -Queen Elizabeth wore an other diamond collets with the coronation necklace for her coronation in 1937 (This diamond collets had smaller diamond necklace). For the coronation of her daughter Queen Elizabeth the Queen mother might have worn n° 1 - 2- 3. Can you confirm the case? For the rest of her life Queen Elizabeth the Queen mother wore only two diamond necklaces. I thinkit was n°3 and n°2. 2° You say that Queen Mary owned 8 diamond collets necklaces at the end of her life, thus : -2 were given to Queen Elizabeth II (Not to much to my mind) -One was given to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother -One was given to Princesss Margaret Therefore, what happened to the other ones ? I was always strucked by diamond collets necklaces worn by Queen Mary with the Delhi durbar tiara for the Belguim state visit in 1922. I think that the big one can be the coronation necklace and the other the Duchess of Teck’s necklace. What do you think about it ? (Sad I can’t send a photo) 3° I made a summary a jewels that they didn’t speak to : -The Queen Alexandra’s huge coronation diamond necklace -The Teck’s diamond and pearl choker. -The diamond collets necklace with diamond fringe worn by Queen Mary with the Cullinan ring and the William IV brooch -The queen mary’s filigree tiara worn in the 50’s -The Lozenge diamond and pearl tiara from Queen Mary -The diamond on band -The laurel leaves tiara from by QM -The diamond pendant worn by QM -The diamond and pearl stomacher from QM. She had this stomacher at the end of her life. Thus I think this stomacher is with QEII. -The double greek key tiara -The diamond necklaces received by Queen Elizabeth II during her reign. 4° In article it is said the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother had more than 60 jewels from Miss Greville. Perhaps she received the double greek key tiara from her. She might have received also the a emerald and diamond tiara. 5° Diamond necklaces received by QM to QEII : -The Cullinan diamond necklace with a pendant -2 diamond collets necklaces (3 with the one from QE the QM)(Not to much to my mind) -The Queen Mary’s Love Trophy collar -The Queen Mary’s diamond sautoir -The Queen Mary’s Chain linked bracelets/choker -The Queen Mary’s fringe linked bracelets/choker bequeathed to QE the QM -The Teck circle necklace (was on the contray lost by QEII bequeathed by QE the QM to PM) Thank you so much again for you summary,
