Thank you Lorenzo, great find! I think it could be a gift the Queen received for the Diamond Jubilee. It's true she's already bought jewels in the past decades, but I don't think she's done it recently considering the economical crysis. It would be bad publicity for her if discovered. Also, the jewels she bought in the past, like the Baring ruby necklace and the sapphire tiara, were "necessary" to complete her collection: the Queen Mother still had the Crown rubies, and she needed a sapphire tiara to go with the King George VI demi-parure (she already had Marie Feodorovna's sapphire bandeau, but she's never worn it, maybe she doesn't like it on herself). --Previous Message-- : What a wonderful find!
