Thanks Boffer. That would be a dream project! --Previous Message-- : It is impossible to say the provenance of the : large Sapphire brooch worn by Queen Mary. : : There have been many guesses and : comparisons, however as no official research : has been carried out or information released : on it, it is all just guesses until sources : are revealed. : : There have been many stories including that : it was bought from the estate of Empress : Marie Feodrovna, that it was bought from : French Crown Jewels. But as I say, no proof : that any of these stories are facts. : : Thus I await any future references or : publications. If only I had the time, : resources, or publishing deal to carry out : my own research & gain access to the : Royal Archives & QM's Inventories. : : --Previous Message-- : : Thank you Boffer. Then what do you think of : the brooch please? : : : : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1354668984.html
