Here's a better link https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-JeZqZCI5jGI/TYZzRipY34I/AAAAAAAADI0/96I203WMSKs/Queen+Mary+of+GB+Amethyst+Parure I don't think it is the same, none of the stones or necklace look the same. I do wonder if the earrings are taken from it, they are very large ! --Previous Message-- : you mean this one? : : : [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-JeZqZCI5jGI/TYZzRipY34I/AAAAAAAADI0/96I203WMSKs/Queen+Mary+of+GB+Amethyst+Parure.jpg[/img] : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : It could well be Alexandra's wedding gift to : the late Queen Mother. : : Indeed! Seen on another forum, the : descrption by Field of this gift : : : The necklace was a wedding gift from Queen : Alexandra to Queen Elizabeth the Queen : Mother in 1923 and was given to the Queen : after her marriage. Shortened and redesigned : since 1923, the necklace now consists of : three rows of small pearls interspersed with : eight large oval amethysts, each surrounded : by brilliant-cut diamonds. Hanging from the : front largest cluster is a heart-shaped : amethyst pendant surrounded by brilliants, : and from the four side clusters hang oval : amethyst drops surrounded by brilliants. : : :
