Thank you Boris for your sharp vision!
I just loved to see this beautiful victorian saphire set so perfectly stored

: I found a picture of the safire set in its
: velvet interior storage case.
: Judgind by the picture it does seem the
: whole set is stored in the same box
: (excluding of course the necklace/tiara and
: the bracelet that wore aquired later).
:
: It seems there is also a ring (?) that is
: originally part of the set. But I wonder
: what are the two diamonds on the sides,
: there seems to be a small gold circle
: holding them? Or is it a small brooch and
: not a ring (my eyes are not getting younger
: sorry)?

: Perhaps the jewels are transported in a

: transported when HM is on oficial visits?
: A list of the jewelry required would have
: been previously made. The correspondant
: boxes would have been removed from the
: safes, placed into the portable strong box.
: A security agent, or a lady in waiting
: acompanied by a security agent, would be
: responsable for it and carry it into the
: Queen's rooms.
: At the required time the lady in waiting
: opens the leather boxes, and removes the
: jewels for HM to wear.
: Just my hipothesis on how its done...

: OK. I'd like to join in here.

: I believe HM's residences are equipped with
: safes and strongrooms.
: Now just how many might have strongrooms I
: do not know, of course, but would expect BP
: and Windsor to have them.
: Other residences would have safes, at the
: least, in dressing rooms, most likely.
:
: I am now mulling over the transporting of
: major jewels between BP and Windsor when
: major events are held in one place or the
: other and a major suite of jewels is to be
: worn.

: Well, much has been discussed on this on the
: thread bellow...
:
: In my view these are the trays that carry
: the jewels to the Queen when she is getting
: prepared for an event, of course royal
: jewels are not stored in the trays.
:
: HM chooses carefully her lovely outfits for
: any ocasion, in this case it should be a
: gala evening. She chooses what jewels to
: wear with it, perhaps makes a list, and
: gives it to her lady in waiting.
: The lady in waiting goes to the vaults to
: get the jewels, most likely some logistic is
: in order and she must sign a note uppon the
: removal of the jewels. Perhaps the damask
: trays are already in the same rooms. She
: carefully removes the selected jewels from
: their boxes and places them on the tray. She
: then carries it, covered with the damask and
: lace linnen, to HM rooms where the Queen is
: getting dressed.
:
: This photo is most likely of one of those
: moments when HM is getting ready for a gala
: evening and all the jewels are already
: displayed in the tray and ready for her to
: wear.
:
: The watch is in the tray simply because HM
: would wear it that evening, along with the
: saphires.
:
: I believe the saphire set (necklace and
: earrings, perhaps bracelet) has its own box,
: and most likely the remaing items all have
: individual storing boxes, as they were not
: originally made as a set.
