I'm sorry to hear that Nellie- I've just tried again and been able to access the entries (I haven't paid anything). Try and use the search facility in the top right hand corner, the magnifying glass symbol. I typed in "turquoise parure" and there were 4 entries, the first was the when QV wore the parure for the first time and the last was her wedding gift to Princess Helena (Lenchen). It's easier to read the transcription section if you scroll down rather than the handwriting. I hope this works for you- I spent hours on there yesterday. There are lots of entries regarding gifts of jewellery with good detailed descriptions. Let me know if you are still unable to access. Regards and good luck Stuart
