    Dear Veronika,

    The diamond watch is very beautiful !! The watch seems to be more expensive than the Swiss federal watch ! Sad she has never worn this watch in public.

    Have you got an other photo of this watch as you said in your post ?

    Leslies Fields says in her book that she had an pearl sautoir with an diamond and sapphire clasp (seen for exemple in 1982 as pregnant wearing a deep blue marine dress with her diamond and sapphire brooch from Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother)

    Do you think that it is this pearl sautoir seen in the movie(to me the clasp seems wider in this sautoir)

    She has worn also the pearl and diamond bracelet in the beginning of the 80's (For exemple at a London premiere of Ghandi in December 1982). However the bracelet was altered by removing the diamond bewteen the pearls.

    Have you got photos of the jewels given by the King and Queen of Tonga, General Kenan Evren and from the President of Seychelles ?

    I also give you my list of jewels given to her as wedding gifts. Do you know others jewels she was given ? Thank you in advance,

    Franck

    From Charles :
    Diamond and sapphire engagement ring
    Signet ring
    Diamond and emerald art deco bracelet as a wedding gift

    From the Queen :
    The Cambridge Lovers’ knot tiara
    Diamond and emerald art-deco chocker
    The Swiss Federal republic’s watch
    Round diamond with round pearl underneath earrings

    Others jewels given by the Queen? To me theses jewels don’t match very well. I would have offered a real parure like the Duchess of York... (Diamond parure with a tiara, necklace, earrings and bracelet)

    From the Queen Mother
    Large sapphire and diamond brooch (A little stingy/miser for me as a wedding gift compared to Princess Ann as a example)
    The Prince of Wales feathers’ diamond and emerald pendant

    From her family
    I don’t what she was offered for her wedding by her family
    The Spencer tiara : on loan until 1996

    From others members of family?
