Laura is perfectly correct!
Queen Mary retained ownership of the brooch and earrings to the parure, the Queen inherited them in 1953, thus bypassing Queen Elizabeth completely, which is a little strange as she wore the necklace almost continuously throughout her life as Queen Consort and Queen Mother. --Previous Message-- : Hi Bryce : : Your picture of Queen Elizabeth the Queen : Mother is not Queen Alexandra's brooch. : Rather it is the turquoise brooch that she : received as a wedding gift. : : Laura :
