Thank you, Stuart, Jos and GillW. I agree it's too bad no one has worn this necklace yet.
--Previous Message-- : The necklace is normally on display at the : Gallery in BP and can be seen there in one : of the small side rooms. It has not been : altered from the illustration earlier in : this thread. : : I think it's lovely but such a large stone : would be rather difficult to wear, IMHO. : Sad, really as the stone is amazing. : : : --Previous Message-- : This is what she said in an early TV : documentary, if I remember correctly the : BBC/ITV production "Royal Family" : from 1969. I guess the queen never followed : up this idea. : : : --Previous Message-- : I remember reading somewhere, maybe this : wonderful board, that the current Queen said : that she should have a dress designed to be : able to wear with the necklace. : : --Previous Message-- : Source: either "Majesty" or : "Royalty" magazine. : : The Timur Ruby Necklace was a 1853 gift to : Queen Victoria from the East India Company. : One question: did Queen Elizabeth II ever : wear it in public? I don't think I ever see : any picture showing Queen Victoria, Queen : Alexandra, Queen Mary or the Queen Mother : wearing it, do you? : : (By the way, I already pre-checked the Royal : Collection which does not show a picture of : this necklace or any story about it except : the year of the gift and which jewelers had : created it on behalf of the East India : Company.) : : : : : : : : :
