Many thanks Arthur. I am inclined to think the bracelet matches with Queen Mary's necklace.
--Previous Message-- : For this bracelet, there are two possible : options, but I do not know which one is the : right one, since both jewels look very : similar: : 1) a bracelet from Princess Marie-Louise of : Schleswig-Holstein (1872-1956), : grand-daughter of Queen Victoria, who died : childless. She bequeathed several of her : jewels to members of the Royal Family; Queen : Elizabeth II received one of her two pearl : and diamond bracelets worn on this picture: : : : : 2) a pearl and diamond choker from Queen : Mary. I remember I had read somewhere that : this choker can be divided into two : bracelets. : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Does anyone know the history of the bracelet : QEII is wearing in the photo Arthur posted : of HM in Nepal? : : --Previous Message-- : About this picture : : : : : I think the 2nd bracelet (from the elbow) is : one of the two diamond bracelets of the set, : and not a different bracelet. Its particular : look on this photo might just be a : coincidence due to the respective position : of each bracelet around the arm. : : On the picture below, from the same photo : session, the bracelet looks totally similar : to the other four. : : : : : About your second question, and this : picture: : : : : I do not know which are the smaller : bracelets. : : I am not totally sure, but the ring could be : this one (here worn by Queen Elizabeth II : during her State visit to Nepal in 1986). In : my files, I have noted it was a wedding gift : to Queen Mary from her brothers. The ring is : also pictured in Angela Kelly's book : Dressing the Queen (page 91). : : : : The long pearl and diamond sautoir the : Queen-mother is wearing on the picture is : one of her wedding gifts, presented by : "the Citizens of London". She has : rarely worn it, and only in the 1920s - : maybe because this style of sautoir went out : of fashion after the 1930s... I would love : to see it worn again - maybe by the Duchess : of Cambridge, along with the Papyrus Tiara : or the Cartier Halo Tiara! : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Sorry 1st question pertains to this photo. : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Lovely clear photos Arthur especially of : sapphire engagement ring. : : Question is about bracelet 2nd from elbow : it appears to sit higher and differently : from other 4 QEQM bracelets. Is it part : of the set? : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
