Princess Marie Louise wearing her bracelets in that style. --Previous Message-- : This chocker was certainly a wedding gift to : Queen Mary in 1893, although it is not clear : from who. As Duchess of York, she was : photographed wearing it as early as 1894. : : It was also divisible into two bracelets, as : she wore to the Devonshire House Ball in : 1897. : : The chocker worn by her sister-in-law, the : Duchess of Teck, it is not clear whether or : not this was the same piece loaned by Queen : Mary, or she owned her own piece in the same : style (it was after all a popular style). : : It should be noted also that Princess : Marie-Louise owned two bracelets in a : similar honeycomb style, although it is not : clear whether or not these bracelets joined : to make a similar styled chocker. : : Field reports that one of these bracelets : was left to The Queen by Princess : Marie-Louise; although I have always thought : that perhaps the bracelet the Queen was : pictured wearing was one from Queen Mary's : chocker, which undoubtedly was bequeathed to : the Queen in 1953; if not and Princess : Marie-Louise did indeed leave the Queen one : of her bracelets, it is likely that she was : left both of them, however she has only ever : worn one at a time. : : Yet another example of how vast The Queen's : jewellery collection is, and how much more : research is needed on the vast array of : pieces are her disposal. :
