Hi Laura and thank you for posting about the book. Here is a pic of the clasp of some three row pearls, which might help in the identification. --Previous Message-- : I have just finished reading Mrs Ronnie: the : society hostess who collected kings by Sian : Evans published by the National Trust. A : fascinating insight into the life of a great : society hostess who came from a humble : background. Her friendships with the British : Royal family, Queen Ena of Spain and various : Indian princes are discussed. : : According to the author, in 1936 Mrs : Greville gave Queen Elizabeth "a : magnificent three-strand set of pearls, : which she wore extensively throughout the : war and afterwards....". It makes me : look at pictures of Queen Elizabeth from : that time period trying to figure out in : which pictures she might be wearing the : Greville pearls! : : Laua :
