i agree wholeheartedly......we "normal" folks wear things like scarves, jackets, watches, or hats that belonged to our loved ones who have gone on as a token of our love and to honor and remember them....but HM has these beautiful jewels instead of the more humble items i mentioned above.....it's often been said that HM isn't overly fond of wearing jewelry but sees it as a symbol of the monarchy and a required trapping of her position....even more reason for her to use them in memory of her mother and others....but whatever the reason she chooses certain pieces, i for one, am ecstatic of her recent choices!!
