You are right, I am pretty sure that one tray was not enough for all the jewels that were to be presented to Queen Mary on her full gliter And in fact it does state ..."one of Queen Mary's trays"... Those were the days --Previous Message-- : if these are indeed the same trays used by : Queen Mary (and perhaps Queen Alexandra), : one has to imagine how overflowing they : would be when presented to HM....with the : sheer number of necklaces and bracelets : Queen Mary liked to wear at one time, not : counting the tiara, brooches, and earrings : to complete the look, i imagine the trays : were filled to the brim. :
